Professional Home Demolition Services in Philadelphia

As a third-generation demolition contractor here in Philadelphia, I've seen this city transform block by block over the past three decades. Just last month, I helped the Johnson family in Fishtown safely demolish their century-old rowhouse to make way for their dream home rebuild – a project that required the same careful planning and neighborhood consideration that defines every job we take on in our beloved City of Brotherly Love.

When you're facing the daunting task of home demolition in Philadelphia, you're dealing with more than just bringing down walls. You're navigating historic district regulations in neighborhoods like Society Hill, managing narrow street access in South Philly, and ensuring your project respects the close-knit community bonds that make each Philadelphia neighborhood unique. That's where three decades of local expertise becomes invaluable.

At All Around Removal, we understand that home demolition represents a major life transition – whether you're clearing space for new construction, removing a damaged structure, or finally tackling that inherited property that's been weighing on your family. Our Philadelphia roots run deep, and we've built our reputation one careful, professional demolition at a time, always prioritizing safety, environmental responsibility, and respect for your neighbors.

From the historic cobblestones of Old City to the tree-lined streets of Mount Airy, we've safely demolished homes across every Philadelphia neighborhood. Our family-owned approach means you're not just hiring a demolition contractor – you're partnering with neighbors who genuinely care about our city's future.

Complete Residential Demolition Services

Our comprehensive home demolition process begins with a detailed assessment of your Philadelphia property. We handle everything from single-story bungalows in Kensington to three-story rowhomes in Graduate Hospital, adapting our approach to each structure's unique characteristics and your neighborhood's specific requirements.

Every demolition project starts with proper permitting through the City of Philadelphia's Department of Licenses and Inspections. We navigate the permit process for you, ensuring compliance with local building codes and historic district regulations when applicable. Our team coordinates utility disconnections with PECO, Philadelphia Water Department, and Philadelphia Gas Works, eliminating the stress of managing multiple contractors.

Our demolition services include:
  • Complete structural teardown and debris removal
  • Selective interior demolition for partial renovations
  • Foundation and basement removal when required
  • Hazardous material identification and safe removal
  • Site cleanup and grading preparation

Safe Asbestos and Lead Paint Handling

Philadelphia's housing stock includes thousands of homes built before 1978, making proper hazardous material handling critical for any demolition project. Our certified technicians conduct thorough pre-demolition inspections to identify asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint, ensuring your project meets EPA and Pennsylvania DEP safety standards.We maintain all required certifications for hazardous material removal and follow strict containment protocols to protect your family, neighbors, and our crew. This Philadelphia-specific expertise has helped us safely demolish over 500 older homes throughout the city, from Victorian twins in West Philadelphia to early 20th-century homes in Northern Liberties.When hazardous materials are present, we coordinate with licensed abatement specialists and provide detailed documentation for your records and future property transactions.

Neighborhood-Conscious Demolition Approach

Philadelphia's dense urban environment requires special consideration for noise, dust control, and neighbor relations. Our crews arrive early to minimize disruption during peak traffic hours and use advanced dust suppression systems to protect air quality in your neighborhood.
We understand the importance of maintaining good relationships with your neighbors – whether you're demolishing a corner property in Point Breeze or a mid-block home in Manayunk. Our team communicates project timelines clearly and works efficiently to complete most residential demolitions within 3-5 days, weather permitting.
Special attention is given to protecting adjacent properties, particularly important in Philadelphia's attached rowhouse neighborhoods where structures share walls. We use precision techniques and protective barriers to ensure surrounding homes remain undamaged throughout the demolition process.

Environmental Responsibility and Recycling

As longtime Philadelphia residents, we're committed to responsible waste management and environmental stewardship. Our demolition process includes comprehensive material separation, allowing us to recycle metals, concrete, and salvageable building materials rather than sending everything to landfills.
We partner with local recycling facilities and salvage operations throughout the Philadelphia region, diverting up to 75% of demolition debris from waste streams. Reusable materials like hardwood flooring, brick, and architectural elements are often donated to Habitat for Humanity ReStore or other local organizations.
This environmentally conscious approach not only benefits our community but often reduces project costs for our clients through decreased disposal fees and potential tax benefits for donated materials.
