"Needed clearing work with fill and resloping for low lying area. Wessner Excavating came in with a fair price bid and the work was done in a timely, correct manner. Would definitely recommend and rehire for additional work."

"I received an estimate from the owner, Connor. My property needs a lot so he was taking care of a few things. New gravel in my driveway with slight grading to decrease sitting water. A retaining wall to help prevent flooding in my basement. Filling in dirt where a swimming pool once was, & replacing gravel under my shed where the groundhogs had gone wild. He also built up a part of the ATV track my son wore down over the years. He arrived on the day he said he'd be here. He worked efficiently. He was professional and respectful of my property. Reasonably priced & when I asked him about providing tree removal, he was honest when he told me he didn't have the equipment required to remove trees near power lines. I appreciate the honesty. I'll be hiring Connor to do other outdor projects in the future."

Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"The job was done quickly. The sidewalk, steps, and porch look good, but they destroyed my yard. There are ruts all over the front yard from excavators, trucks, etc. There were large stones all over the yard that I had to remove to cut the grass. The contract stated that he would bring in screened topsoil and would fix all the affected areas of the yard. However, much of the affected area is filled with stones and sparsely grown grass or with ruts from the equipment. Jason works and talks fast. If you are going to use him, make sure you spell out what you want and that he understands what you want. Otherwise, he will leave the cleanup work not even half done. My yard is a mess. I will have to spend hundreds of dollars for soil and seed and many hours of work picking up and raking stones, spreading and leveling soil. These are things that should have been done according to the contract. When I asked him about this, he simply said sorry and that it was my fault and not his."

FAQs for demolition projects in Palmerton, PA

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.
