Light Demolition Services
Light demolition is non-structural tear-down work: backyard structures, old fencing, decks, hot tubs and interior items like cabinets and flooring. Recourse tears it down and hauls it off, so you don't need one company to tear it down and another to haul it off.
The crew keeps the work area clean and leaves the space ready to use, replant or rebuild. Structural walls, anything with live utilities, and large concrete work are outside the scope of light demolition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as light demolition?
Non-structural work such as sheds, fences, decks, playsets, hot tubs, gazebos, cabinets and flooring. Load-bearing walls and large structural or concrete demolition are not included.
Do I need a permit?
Permit rules vary by city and by project. Check with your city's building department before demolition, especially for decks or anything attached to the house.
Do utilities need to be disconnected?
Yes. Any gas, water or electrical connections must be safely disconnected by a licensed professional before the crew starts.
Can you remove a hot tub?
Yes. The hot tub needs to be drained and electrically disconnected first. Tell us how the crew can reach it, including gate width.
Do you remove the concrete slab under a shed?
Removing a shed usually leaves the slab or pad in place. Breaking out concrete is not part of light demolition unless it's discussed and agreed in advance.
Is all the debris hauled away?
Yes. Demolition and hauling are handled together, and the crew cleans up the work area before leaving.
Can you remove a fence shared with a neighbor?
Fence lines and shared fences are the property owner's responsibility to sort out with neighbors. Once you confirm what can be removed, the crew handles the tear-down and hauling.
How is light demolition priced?
Pricing depends on the size and material of the structure, labor, access and the amount of debris. You get a quote before work starts.
