"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."

"I am so pleased to write about the excellent service we received from Precision Dirt Works. Our Jennings Lodge, Oregon home burned down in October 2018. We initially contacted Precision Dirt Works in early 2019 for a bid to have the house demolished. Their bid was comprehensive and fair. The insurance company took until January 2020 before we received funds where we could have the home demolished. Throughout that time, Precision Dirt Works were there for us, knowing that we were just waiting for the money to have the job completed. Once we had the funds and permit, they were quick to complete the job at the SAME estimated cost has they had provided us a year earlier. The team did an excellent job of removing the house and associated debris. They stayed in contact with us through the project including sending us photos, emails and calls. Through this collaboration with us Precision Dirt Works saved us money from their original estimate. We highly recommend this company to anyone needing demolition or site work completed."

"K Construction did a perfect job installing drainage, and expanding our patio, and adding two small retaining walls. They matched the finish of the existing patio perfectly. They kept us informed every step of the way and the project was completed seamlessly. We were so happy with their work we hired them to do some repair on the barn roof. We are really happy with the quality of work and believe it is a good value. Highly reommend Sam and crew at K Construction"

"Pretty good, quick turnaround, though maybe they could have been more detailed on the cleanup; when we came back to the house, we had to rake everything up, but other than that, it was pretty good service."

FAQs for demolition projects in Salem, 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.
