Getting ready to remodel? Demolition is usually the starting place for any rebuilding project. Although at first glance it may seem simple to take down a structure or building, the process is a lot more complicated than it appears on the surface. So, whether your plan is to gut out a kitchen or tear down a multistory building, turn to ABH Services for advice. We have the expertise, specialized equipment, insurance and manpower to get this dirty and potentially dangerous job done quickly and safely. Call us to schedule your free consultation at (781) 941-2422.
Here are some of the topics we’ll discuss with you:
Permits – Do you know how to go about securing the proper permits for your demolition project? ABH Services has been in the demolition and recycling business in the greater Boston and North Shore area for 20 years. We know how to navigate the permitting process and the questions that you will need to address.
Toxic materials – If a building is so old that it needs to be demolished, then chances are good that it contains older building materials like asbestos or lead. If you aren’t sure, you need an expert to not only identify these materials, but also advise you on the legal and safe way to dispose of them. This is something you should never trust to an unskilled handyman for hire, or you could be in for some hefty fines or even lawsuits. ABH Services will do a thorough site assessment to identify potentially hazardous materials and advise you on the best course of action.
Neighbors and access to site – Are neighbors’ trees or buildings going to be a problem? If so, we can adapt our demolition approach to the site so as to avoid damage to other properties.
Supporting walls – If your plan is for a gut-out or significant remodel, do you know how to identify supporting walls? If so, do you have the equipment and know-how to prevent walls from collapsing or sagging? ABH Services not only knows what to look for, but has the equipment to shore up any problem areas until the construction crews can move in.
Tax credits for recycling – Did you know that potentially up to 85 percent of a building can be recycled? Salvageable items include windows, doors, vents, plumbing, fixtures, and sometimes even studs or siding. Depending on where you live, you might be able to offset some of the demolition costs by getting a tax credit for recyclable building materials that you donate to organizations like Habitat for Humanity’s ReStores or similar organizations. Not only are you helping your community, you are helping your environment by keeping waste out of our landfills. We are recycling experts, and can provide you with information about this process and potential savings.
