"Matts' Junk Removal is the best money I have ever spent. Customer service was amazing . They were in and out quickly with no problems. They are completely affordable too ! I hired them on two occasions. One time was for junk removal , the second time they moved furniture for me from two different houses, all while keeping all my stuff safe for travels and relocation. I will never call anyone else to remove large items, they are my go to guys. Completely happy with their service."

"I had multiple trees that I wanted removed, three of which overhung my garage and a fence. Will and his crew showed up and attacked the project. Within 2 1/2 days, the trees were down and the debris cleaned up. He also listened to my concerns and addressed them promptly. I was happy with the outcome and would recommend this company."

"These guys were an absolute answer to prayer! We had a very tight window to have our structure completely demolished, removed & ground leveled. We were in complete amazement to see how this team work together! So quickly taking care of every single detail, they were in and out in record time! We were able to move on to the next phase far sooner than expected! I cannot express enough how fantastic they all were and I would recommend them a million times over!"

FAQs for demolition projects in Harrisburg, PA

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.
