"I have worked with hundreds of demolition contractors in my work as a project manager for a general Contractor. PAC is one of the best Iâ ve ever encountered. The workers were enthusiastic and kept a quick pace. They went above and beyond at every turn. They did an excellent job cleaning up afterwards too. Isabel was incredibly courteous and attentive to our needs. We will be hiring PAC for any future jobs we have in the area."

"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 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.
