"I had an old, manufactured home that I needed tested for asbestos and demolished. Professional Abatement LLC could meet my needs. I contacted Javier, who came to the location where I discussed my needs and concerns. He explained the process of asbestos testing and demolition, going over exactly what I wanted to accomplish. When Javier and his crew of professionals arrived, they did an outstanding job of removing the asbestos material and demolition of the structure. From beginning to end they wanted to make sure all my needs and concerns were met. I have only praise to say about the work performed. If you require their services, I highly recommend you contact Javier at Professional Abatement LLC."

"The actual wok was water mitigation and installation of French drain. Not only did they do a great job installing the drain and putting the yard back together but they found the source of the problem. I had the area dug up twice by other companies who found nothing except ground water, but Aaron and his crew found a broken irrigation pipe. They did the repairs and along with the drain it looks like things are totally solved. Excellent work, very friendly and I truly felt they wanted to resolve tho issue. It was a long day for them but I very happy itâ s fixed!"

FAQs for demolition projects in Portland, OR

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.
