Detached garages, carports, and old foundations or stem walls demolished and cleared, with the hole backfilled and graded if you ask, so the footprint is ready for whatever comes next.
A leaning detached garage or an old foundation left behind from a previous structure takes up space and gets in the way of your plans. We demolish and clear detached garages, carports, and old foundations or stem walls, haul the debris off, and backfill and grade the footprint if you want it ready to build or landscape. Older garages can have asbestos in the siding or roofing, so on pre-1980 structures we coordinate the required survey first.
Price depends mostly on size and the foundation type. A simple slab-on-grade carport is a smaller job than a two-car garage with a poured stem-wall foundation that has to come out too. We quote after we see it, and the haul-away and site clearing are part of the number.

Frequently asked questions.
How much does it cost to remove a detached garage in Bellingham?
Garage and foundation removal runs $3,500 to $12,000 in Bellingham, depending on size and whether a poured foundation or stem wall comes out too. A small carport is at the low end; a two-car garage with a foundation is at the high end. We quote after a free walkthrough.
Do you remove the old foundation too?
Yes. We can break out and clear the foundation or stem wall along with the structure, then backfill and grade the hole on request so the footprint is ready for your next project.
Does an old garage need an asbestos survey?
If the garage was built before 1980 it can have asbestos in the siding or roofing, so the required survey applies before demolition that disturbs material. We coordinate it for you and never knowingly disturb regulated material.
