"J&H Excavating responded to my quote request within 24 hours & communicated throughout the process. They were able to schedule my job earlier than originally quoted, and charged the quoted price. They completed everything I requested within one day as expected and were very professional and prompt. I would hire them again & recommend them to others."

"Great job. Mike on the excavator was terrific. He did a great job, tearing everything down without touching anything around the area, and left the area like he swept it with a broom. We would definitely hire them again."

"When they poured the side walk. A storm came in just as they were finishing the side walk, they covered up everything, but about 15 ft was ruined. They came back the next day to replace the damaged part. Brian was very professional and went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied. I would call I'm again if I need more concrete work Don."

FAQs for demolition projects in Thornville, OH

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.
