Lancaster Construction proudly serves its customers with pride, integrity, and attention to the details that matter most to you. This is one of the many things that sets us apart from the rest. We are locally owned and operated. Give us a call today!
"From the first phone call to our final handshake goodbye, Zach Lancaster was nothing but professional, showing up on short notice on a rainy day to discuss the demolition of a rundown trailer on our recently purchased property near family outside Asheville. He communicates promptly and thoroughly by text or phone, and answered all our questions as they popped up, a relief given that we live out of state. His estimate was reasonable, and he worked with our schedule, meeting us in March on the property and again in late May for the demolition. He and his crew managed the excavator (?T-Rex? as we nicknamed it) with surprising precision, separating out all the metal for recycling, picking up discarded furniture and debris left under a porch, moving a heavy wood stove we kept to a shelter nearby, even pulling the trailer away from a border of hydrangeas and hostas and preserving them. On the advice of the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy, we asked him to make sure his contractors? mix of grass seed did not include lespedeza sp, an exotic invasive with protein that is not ideal for wildlife. He double-checked that it didn't, personally raked final debris from our site and seeded it with a healthy mix, putting down a final layer of straw as promised. The site is beautiful and we couldn't be more pleased. Zach is a class act."

Demolitions FAQs
A professional kitchen demolition takes an average of eight hours (one working day) for standard projects. More complex jobs involving structural changes might require up to two days.
Factors that extend the timeline include discovering hidden damage, encountering hazardous materials, or removing load-bearing elements. DIY demolitions take considerably longer, often several days to a week, due to learning curves and limited equipment access.
Salvaging kitchen materials can be worthwhile if the components are in good condition. Cabinets, appliances, fixtures, and certain flooring types can be donated to organizations like Habitat for Humanity or sold through online marketplaces.
This approach reduces landfill waste and may provide tax benefits or offset some demolition costs. However, careful removal takes more time, so weigh potential returns against the additional labor involved.
On demolition day, expect noise, dust, and temporary utility disruptions. Crews will systematically remove fixtures, cabinets, appliances, and targeted surfaces. Protective coverings should be installed to prevent dust from spreading to other areas.
The space will be unusable during this process, so plan alternative arrangements for food preparation. By completion, all designated elements will be removed and debris cleared, leaving a blank canvas for your renovation.
Removing load-bearing walls without professional assistance is extremely risky and not recommended. These walls support critical structural weight, and improper removal can cause ceiling sagging, floor damage, or even catastrophic collapse.
Professional projects require structural engineer assessment, proper temporary supports, permanent beam installation, and building permits. The safety risks and potential for expensive structural damage far outweigh any cost savings from DIY approaches.
