Demolition Contractors

Commercial demolition and residential demolition

Did you just purchase a property with a tear-down home or building? Maybe you’d like to finally level that old barn or garage and rebuild a new one? Whatever your reason for demolition of your structure it’s not as simple as just flattening it. Depending on the age of the structure and the materials it contains (lead or asbestos) there are many safety precautions that might need to be taken.

DiFranco Contractors Inc. is a general contractor serving Northeastern Ohio with a long list of services. We specialize in the demolition and removal of residential structures such as houses, shops, barns, garages and even small commercial structures. Using hands and heavy equipment the building will be stripped of recyclables and the debris will be loaded up and hauled away. We’ll leave your property as if there wasn’t even a trace of the old structure (or our presence either!).

Our history of demolition work also covers countless tear-downs of single and multi family residential properties in Northeast Ohio. Such structures include those built of stone, brick or even wood frames. The work we do is performed with great care so as to safeguard the structures on either side. All debris resulting from these jobs is sorted on the work site in order to determine what can be recycled or re-used. Our team works to ensure that the entire site is cleared, hauling all remaining debris to the proper facilities. Lastly, holes left at the site of the demolition are filled in with dirt or stone and fully leveled in the interest of safety as well as future development.

Safety is Always Top Priority

Let there be no doubt that safety is a top priority on every site at which DiFranco Contractors render demolition services. Prior to any project’s start date, the site is subject to a comprehensive hazard review. Following that, a plan is formulated and implemented to prevent mishaps, injuries or worse. Dust control protocols, fencing installation requirements, equipment safety measures and protective clothing standards are all carefully followed in every instance. The team at DiFranco Contractors pledges to work in a conscientious manner that is in full compliance with all employee safety regulations.

Salvage and Recycling Initiatives

All on-contaminated, non-hazardous debris produced by a demolition job is carefully salvaged or recycled by DiFranco Contractors. Common materials handled in this way include scrap metals, masonry, plumbing fixtures, pipes, shingles, asphalt, insulation, glass and landscaping remains.

In addition to collecting recyclable and salvageable demolition debris, we also closely monitor how the materials are handled by the applicable service providers who accept them. It is our goal not just to meet, but rather to exceed the recommendation of the Department of Public Health that no less than half of all demolition debris that can be recycled actually be processed in that manner.
