Demolition Services in Golden, Colorado

Full-Service Demolition in Golden

Downtown Golden's historic houses need careful selective demolition that respects the review process, while the ranches north of downtown and the manufactured home communities bring garage teardowns, basement guts, and mobile home removals. We have done ramp and laundry room work here and keep every job clean from start to finish.

What We Demolish

Demolition Permits in Golden

Golden's Building Division, 303-384-8151, issues the demolition permit, and the city asks for more than most: a demolition plan and schedule, water and sewer capped at the main tie in and inspected by Golden Public Works before backfill, asbestos documentation including the air clearance report, and trash container approvals. Properties in a historic district, individually designated structures, and nonresidential buildings over 50 years old need a certificate of appropriateness for demolition, $500, from the Historic Preservation Board, which meets monthly with applications due four to six weeks ahead. Addresses outside city limits in Applewood or Pleasant View go through Jefferson County Building Safety instead, $30, by phone or in person.

Everywhere in Colorado, the structure has to be inspected by a state certified asbestos inspector first, and CDPHE needs a demolition notification on file for ten working days before the teardown, even when no asbestos is found. Utilities get disconnected and documented before the city issues the permit. We prepare and coordinate the whole package and build the lead time into the proposal.

Rules and fees change. We confirm the current checklist with the city for your address when we scope the job. Full city by city rundown: demolition permits in the Denver metro.

Golden Homes and What It Means for Demo

Golden's downtown and the 12th Street area are 1870s through 1920s houses where historic review applies and most work is careful interior and partial demolition. The post war ranches north and east of downtown are garage teardowns, basement guts, and the occasional scrape off. Golden also has manufactured home communities, where we have done ramp, porch, and mobile home removals, and the unincorporated neighborhoods around it, Applewood and Pleasant View, bring 1950s and 1960s ranches with outbuildings on big lots.
