Typical Denver Garage Demo Pricing

Detached single-car garages, common behind older Denver homes, usually land between $2,500 and $4,500 including debris haul-off. A detached two-car garage runs $4,000 to $7,000 depending on construction and condition. Attached garages cost more because the demo has to protect the house where they meet.

The Slab Question

Leaving the concrete slab in place keeps the job at the low end. Breaking out and hauling the slab typically adds $1,000 to $2,500, because concrete is brutally heavy and dump fees are charged by the ton. If you plan to rebuild on the same footprint, keeping a sound slab can save real money; if the slab is cracked or you want lawn back, it should go with the garage.

What Else Moves the Price

  • Alley access. Most Denver garages back to an alley, which makes loading fast. No alley access means longer carries.
  • Roofing layers. Old garages often have two or three layers of shingles, which adds tonnage.
  • Contents. Clear it out first or fold a cleanout into the job; either way it affects the number.
  • Utilities. Power to the garage must be disconnected before demo day. We walk you through it during the quote.
  • Permits. Garage demolition generally requires a permit in Denver and most metro cities. We factor it into the timeline.
