Residential Demolition
Taking down a house is mostly paperwork and disposal — the machine work is two or three days, and everything around it is what decides the price and the timeline.
What drives the quoteWhat we do
Sarnago & Sons has been taking structures down in Pinellas County since 1978. We hold the two licenses this work actually requires in Florida — C-11855 as a specialty demolition contractor and CUC041521 for the underground utility work that usually comes with it.
Most demolition contractors pay a gate rate by the ton at a facility they do not own, add to it, and pass it on. Ours is the gate: the C&D transfer station on Keene Rd is ours, the concrete and block come back to be crushed, and the disposal line on the quote is what it actually costs.
That loop is the reason our numbers come in lower than a contractor who has to buy disposal at market. It also means one company handles the whole job — demolition, haul-off, and the compacted base that goes back in the hole.

What drives the quoteThere are two ways to take out a pool, and the one you choose changes the price, the paperwork, and what you can build on the spot afterwards.
What drives the quoteCommercial demolition is a permitting and logistics job as much as a machinery job — the license is what lets us be on the site at all, and the sequence is what keeps everyone else on schedule.
What drives the quoteThis is the job our whole operation is built around: break it out, haul it to our yard, crush it, and sell it back as base material.
What drives the quoteA mobile home is a demolition job and a disposal job at once — the structure comes apart into several different waste streams, and that is what drives the price.
What drives the quoteSite clearance is everything between the lot you bought and the pad you can build on — and the fewer contractors that takes, the cheaper and faster it goes.
What drives the quoteAsphalt comes out fast and cheap compared with concrete — the real decision is what happens to the base underneath, because that is what your new surface will live on.
What drives the quoteA foundation left in the ground is a problem deferred, not solved — it turns up under the next building’s footers, and by then it costs three times as much to deal with.
What drives the quoteAfter a storm, demolition is part of recovery — and the difference between doing it right and doing it fast is documentation, permits and safety, all of which still apply when half the street is in the same state.
