Locals call it the Village, and Fairhaven's Victorian-era homes from the 1890s to 1910s call for a careful hand. Plaster-and-lath walls, old framing, and decades of layered finishes mean selective demo here is methodical work, not just swinging a hammer. We protect the parts of the home you are keeping, control the dust, and respect the tight historic lots and the neighbors right next door.
Because these homes predate 1978 by a wide margin, asbestos and lead are likely, so we schedule the required survey before any demo that disturbs material. Whether you are gutting a kitchen in a Harris Avenue Victorian or opening up a wall for a remodel, we coordinate the survey and the permit and haul everything off cleanly.
What we see on Fairhaven jobs.
Common structures
Victorian-era homes from the 1890s to 1910s, Craftsman bungalows, and historic commercial buildings along Harris Avenue.
Popular demolition jobs
Selective gut-outs in historic homes, plaster-and-lath removal, careful interior demo for remodels, and small-structure teardown on tight lots.
Permit & site considerations
Pre-1910 homes almost always need an asbestos and lead survey first. Tight historic lots mean careful debris staging and protecting the neighbor's property.
