"I hired this company to demolish a porch that connected to the rear of my home in order to extend the interior. Mr McNair was recommended by one of my neighbors. He had done work on her property months prior. She said he was efficient and the work was professionally done, he also removed the debris. I called to inquire about the service and explained what I needed done to my home. The next day, I met with Earl. He evaluated the porch, took measurements, then poured the price and that night the contract was sent through emails and I was able to sign it electronically. He estimated that it would be a three day process to completely demolish the porch. He obtained all the permits by the county in order to start the process. Three days later, he arrived an hour early for set up. He laid out signs so that people were aware not to enter the work space. He started at 8 am & completed work that day by 2pm. He removed the debris that was torn down. He kept the signs up until the work was completed and passed the city inspection. The project was actually complete in two days. Inspectors were called to make sure that the work was accurate and no damage was done to the structure. The city passed city inspected said the work was up to code and down with no error. It passed. Earl removed the debris and then accepted the remainder of the payment. I would highly recommend the company for demolition and will hire them for any future projects needed"

"Bellco Demolition was the ONLY company professional enough to respond to my needs with a phone call, and Ron came out to my house within a couple days to review my project. My advice to Home Advisor is to immediately remove ALL other Demolition Companies from their site as they obviously do not care about Customer Service and are simply unprofessional operations."

FAQs for demolition projects in Philadelphia, 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.
