Bellingham's older core neighborhoods are full of homes built before 1980, and that changes how demolition gets done here. Before a wall comes down on most of these houses, we schedule the asbestos and lead survey that Washington law and the Northwest Clean Air Agency require. Old floor tile, popcorn ceilings, pipe wrap, and siding are common places regulated material hides, and we never knowingly disturb it.
From kitchen and bath gut-outs ahead of a remodel to full teardowns for a rebuild or ADU, we coordinate the City of Bellingham permit, the survey, and the dump runs to the Recycling & Disposal Services transfer station so you do not have to. Whatever the job, you get a clean, ready-for-the-next-trade site when we leave.
What we see on Bellingham jobs.
Common structures
Craftsman bungalows, early-1900s cottages, mid-century homes, and a mix of newer infill, much of it built before 1980.
Popular demolition jobs
Kitchen and bath gut-outs, whole-house teardowns for rebuilds and ADUs, old concrete driveway breakout, and detached garage removal.
Permit & site considerations
Most pre-1980 homes need an asbestos and lead survey before demolition that disturbs material. We coordinate that, the City of Bellingham permit, and the NWCAA notification before work starts.
