Customers say: True professional

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Marco at One Vet One Hammer, and I couldn't be more satisfied with his services. He completed three projects for me: assembling a kitchen island, installing a fireplace, and mounting a TV on the wall. From start to finish, Marco demonstrated professionalism and skill, ensuring that each task was done to perfection. What impressed me the most was his ability to deliver next-day service, which was incredibly helpful. His pricing is fair, and I truly felt that I received great value for the quality of work provided. If you're looking for someone reliable and efficient for your home projects, I highly recommend Marco. He has definitely earned my trust, and I will be reaching out to him for any future needs!"

"Absolutely satisfied and pleased with the service we received from Blake & Onset Equipment. After losing our house and almost everything we own in Hurricane Ida, he made the demolition process easy and stress-free for us. He was quick, experienced, and professional. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of any type of demolition and/or other heavy equipment services. Thank you Blake! We appreciate you more than we could ever say!"

"I want to say â Thank You Again!!â We were in a time crunch. Byron and his team took down our shed and hauled away the debris in no time at all! I was able to take a break from work to watch them in action for a few minutes. The area they were dealing with was pretty tight. Their care and precision insured that no other structure was in danger at any time. I greatly appreciate the professionalism and efficiency I was treated with today. Thank You Again"

FAQs for demolition projects in New Orleans, LA

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.
