"We had a great experience with Ramey's. I worked with Brandon over text and they were very easy to work with. We had them clean out an apartment after my mother passed and had them move some stuff to my sister's house and haul some stuff to the dump and even moved stuff to another tenant's apartment. They kept me updated on their arrival time and when they arrived they were friendly and professional. They handled everything with care. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing hauling or junk removal."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work he did installing and painting my kitchen cabinets! From start to finish, he was extremely professional, punctual, and detail-oriented. His knowledge and experience were evident every step of the way, and he took the time to answer my questions and make sure everything was done right. The cabinet installation was flawless, and the paint finish completely transformed my kitchen. His craftsmanship and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. It’s hard to find someone who is not only highly skilled but also reliable and easy to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work, you won’t be disappointed!"

"Worked directly with the owner, Chris Westfall in the new design for deck steps and perimeter fencing. Chris was very patient working with my wife and I, as our expectations kept changing. Even in the build out we were still changing the design, Chris was accommodating and his crew responded professionally to those changes. The crew worked quickly and efficiently and completely cleaned up the area upon completion. We will definitely consider him for our next project and have already referred him to three of our neighbors ."

FAQs for demolition projects in Columbus, OH

A complete chimney demolition takes close to five days with a two-person crew; removing only the stack can be completed in half a day. Pros take the structure down brick by brick, add temporary supports if needed, and haul away debris before they leave. Their step-by-step approach safeguards nearby walls and the roof while keeping dust and hazards in check.

Most municipalities require a permit before any part of the chimney comes down. Check with your local building department for the exact fees and paperwork, and confirm any HOA rules that may be applicable. Your structural engineer or chimney professional can obtain the permit on your behalf and ensure that every step complies with local safety and zoning codes.

You can close up your chimney instead of demolishing it. This process involves sealing the damper, installing a chimney cap, and closing the fireplace opening with a secure barrier such as bricks or a door. Closing the chimney maintains the structure while preventing airflow, moisture, and debris entry. This method reduces demolition costs and complies with building code requirements when complete removal is not necessary.

Removing a chimney and switching to modern, eco-friendly alternatives enhances your property’s appeal through increased energy efficiency and potential LEED certification. However, many buyers insist on an operational fireplace, and as a result, removal can reduce overall home value by $5,000. Homeowners should assess market expectations and consult experts to ensure that any changes align with their long-term property goals.

It’s crucial to determine if your chimney is load-bearing before starting removal. Modern homes feature chimneys that are independent of the building’s structure, whereas older homes rely on chimneys for support of critical systems. Review your blueprints or consult a qualified structural engineer to confirm if additional support is necessary. This step ensures safe removal and sound planning.
