South Hill's early-1900s homes sit on some of the steepest, narrowest lots in Bellingham, just above Boulevard Park and the bay. That terrain is the defining challenge for demolition here. Getting equipment in, staging debris, and protecting the homes packed in close on either side all take real planning before any teardown starts. We scope the access carefully so the job goes smoothly and safely.
These older homes typically need an asbestos and lead survey before demo, and we build that into the plan along with the City of Bellingham permit. From a careful gut-out to a full teardown on a tight hillside lot, we control dust, stage debris where it works, and haul everything off to the transfer station.
