About Our Demolition Service

Whether you're removing an old structure to make way for new construction, clearing a damaged building, or demolishing concrete and hardscape, our team handles the complete process — from site assessment through debris removal — in coordination with a licensed Florida contractor who pulls the required permits.

Safety is our top priority. Our crews follow strict safety protocols, manage dust and debris control, and coordinate with utility companies and the licensed contractor of record to ensure all services are properly disconnected and the work is fully compliant before demolition begins.

Every project ends with complete debris removal and site cleanup. We don't leave rubble behind. Your site will be clean, level, and ready for the next phase — typically the excavation, grading, or foundation prep our crew handles directly under our own scope of work.

Safe Demo Guarantee

We coordinate with the licensed contractor on every demo project, so the permit is properly filed, the work is fully compliant, and 100% of debris is removed. No rubble left behind, guaranteed.

Demolition & Concrete Removal

Safe structure demolition and complete debris removal.

Understanding the Demolition Process in Florida

Demolition in Florida involves more than swinging a wrecking ball. Local regulations in Sarasota and Manatee counties require permits, asbestos inspections for structures built before 1980, utility disconnection verification, and proper debris disposal documentation. Navigating these requirements correctly is essential to avoid fines, delays, and liability issues.

Our demolition projects start with a thorough pre-demolition assessment. We inspect the structure, identify any hazardous materials, and coordinate utility disconnection with local providers. The licensed Florida contractor we work with pulls the required permits and serves as the contractor of record, while our crew handles the equipment, hauling, and site preparation work.

After demolition, our crews don't just leave a pile of rubble. We remove 100% of debris, sort recyclable materials like concrete and metal, and leave your site graded and ready for the next phase of construction. This complete approach means you're not left coordinating multiple companies to clean up after the demo crew — you call us, we coordinate the licensed contractor, and the project is delivered as one team.

5.0 Average Rating

"Kameron and his team were great from start to finish! We hired them to grade/extend our driveway and refill our washed out shell drive — we are very happy with the results! The entire process was smooth, and it is clear that Kameron truly values and cares about his customers. It was refreshing to work with him and his team. Great communication, punctuality, and quality work. He checked in throughout the process to ensure that the job was what we wanted and answered any questions we had along the way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

"Our Condo Association used Kameron's team on three different projects. All three projects were completed on time and at the quoted price. Communication was fantastic and the jobsite was always cleaned up. His workers were always courteous and aware of the job at hand for a successful project. I can see why all the 5 Star ratings are posted. No need to look elsewhere, Lethermon Excavating is your right choice."

FAQ

Demolition Questions

Do I need a permit for demolition?
Yes — most demolition in Sarasota and Manatee counties requires a permit. Florida law requires that demolition permits be pulled by a properly licensed contractor (CGC, CBC, CRC, or local specialty demolition license). We work alongside a licensed Florida contractor on every demolition project — they handle the permitting and structural authorization, and our crew handles equipment, hauling, and cleanup.
Are you a licensed demolition contractor?
We are a fully insured excavation, grading, and site preparation contractor. For demolition projects, we partner with a licensed Florida demolition contractor who pulls all required permits and serves as the contractor of record. This partnership means you get the full demo + site-prep package as one coordinated team — instead of hiring and coordinating two separate companies.
How long does demolition take?
A residential structure can typically be demolished and cleared in 2-5 days depending on size, complexity, and the licensed contractor's scheduling. Commercial demolition may take longer. We provide accurate timelines in our estimate.
Do you handle asbestos or hazardous materials?
No — hazardous materials abatement requires its own state license and is not part of our scope. A pre-demolition inspection identifies any hazardous materials that must be removed by a certified abatement contractor before our work begins. We coordinate with abatement contractors when needed.
What happens to the demolition debris?
We haul all debris to licensed disposal facilities. Materials like concrete and metal are recycled when possible. The entire site is cleaned and leveled after demolition.
