Residential Demolition in Holiday
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. Our yard is about 40 minutes away, and we are licensed C-11855 and CUC041521.
Holiday was built in one long wave, so the 1960s–70s block ranches in Aloha Gardens and Beacon Square are all reaching the same age at once, and the house demolition here is condemned houses, fire damage and investor teardowns on cheap lots, run on a production rhythm. Nearly every one predates 1981, which makes the asbestos survey and NESHAP notice effectively universal on the Pasco County application.
Holiday generates high-volume small demolition: condemned and fire-damaged houses, investor teardowns on cheap lots, mobile home removals, and dead retail coming off the US 19 corridor. These are quick, repeatable jobs and we run them on a production rhythm.
A residential demolition in Florida runs on a fixed sequence: asbestos survey, utility disconnects, permit, then demolition. The survey comes first because the permit depends on it — every structure needs an asbestos survey before the municipality will issue a demolition permit, whatever its age, and most Tampa Bay housing stock qualifies. If asbestos is found, licensed abatement happens before we touch the building.
Utilities are the other gate. Power, water, sewer and gas have to be disconnected and confirmed by the utility itself, not just switched off at the house. Duke Energy, the water authority and the gas company each work to their own timeline, and we tell you exactly what to order and when so the permit is not sitting idle waiting on a meter pull.
What it costs
What drives a Holiday quote
| Scope of job | What drives the number |
|---|---|
| Small house, under 1,200 sq ft | Access, foundation type, and how close neighboring structures sit |
| Typical house, 1,200 – 2,500 sq ft | Square footage, slab versus crawl space, disposal weight |
| Large or two-story house | Volume, structural complexity, and tight-access handwork |
| Asbestos abatement, if found | How much material and where it is — siding is cheaper than sprayed texture |
Every demolition is quoted on site, free. Access, structure and what has to be protected move the number more than square footage does, which is why we walk it rather than price it down the phone.
About 40 minutes straight up US 19 past Tarpon Springs — no bridge, no toll. Backhauling to our own transfer station instead of paying Pasco gates is the margin on jobs this size.
How it works
What a Holiday job looks like
Asbestos survey
A licensed inspector surveys the structure. Pre-1981 buildings require this before the municipality will issue a demolition permit.
Disconnects and permit
Power, water, sewer and gas confirmed disconnected by each utility, then the demolition permit is filed with your city or county.
Demolish
The structure comes down in a controlled sequence, with loads sorted as they separate — concrete, metal, wood.
Foundation and slab
Footers and slab are broken out and hauled to our yard for crushing, unless you are keeping the pad.
Grade the lot
The site is filled where needed and graded flat, ready for construction or sale.
Questions
House Demolition in Holiday — FAQs
How much does house demolition cost in Holiday?
It comes down to the structure and the access, not the ZIP code. On small house, under 1,200 sq ft, what moves the number is access, foundation type, and how close neighboring structures sit. What moves it in Holiday is volume and repeatability — these are quick jobs, and the number reflects a production rhythm rather than a one-off mobilization. We walk the site and quote it, free.
Does the foundation come out too?
Usually yes — footers and slab are broken out, hauled to our yard and crushed into base material. If you are rebuilding on the same footprint we can leave a sound slab, though most new builds want it gone.
Can you prepare the lot for a new build?
Yes. Fill, compaction and crushed concrete base can run under the same contract, using material from our own yard, so the site is handed over as a buildable pad rather than a hole.
Do I need an asbestos survey before demolition in Florida?
Yes, whatever its age — Florida requires an asbestos survey before a demolition permit is issued, and most municipalities want the survey report with the application. We coordinate the survey as part of the job.
