Demolition Services in Lakewood, Colorado

Full-Service Demolition in Lakewood

A lot of Lakewood work is remodel-driven: kitchens, baths, flooring, and non-structural walls coming out so a renovation can start clean. We also clear detached structures and haul Belmar-area commercial debris, all with the site left swept.

What We Demolish

Demolition Permits in Lakewood

Lakewood runs demolition through the Public Works permit counter, 303-987-7500, on its eTRAKiT system, with separate permit types for a whole building, an accessory building like a detached garage or shed, and interior demo. Lakewood also requires a construction and demolition waste management plan, filed through its Green Halo system, before the permit is approved, which we file as part of the package. Contractors have to be registered with the city.

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.

Lakewood Homes and What It Means for Demo

Lakewood is the metro's biggest stock of 1950s through 1970s brick ranches and split levels, from the Belmar area out to Green Mountain, most on quarter acre lots with a detached garage and a shed in the back corner. Garage teardowns and basement guts are the bulk of our Lakewood work, with scrape offs picking up near Belmar and along the light rail. Almost everything here predates 1980, so budget for the asbestos survey on anything structural, and expect floor tile or textured drywall to come back positive more often than not.

Serving Belmar, Green Mountain, the Union Boulevard corridor, and Eiber, and the rest of Lakewood. We demo it and haul it away in one job, insured and local.
