Unlike demolition, deconstruction is a meticulous process involving the careful disassembly of a structure. We specialize in two types of deconstruction:

Whole-Building Deconstruction

This process involves manually taking apart an entire structure while salvaging components for repurposing or recycling. Achieving a minimum of 90% recycling compliance is our standard.

Selective Deconstruction

Also known as soft strip or selective demolition, this method involves removing recyclable or salvageable materials before mechanical demolition.

Salvaging & Recycling Materials

During deconstruction, we salvage a variety of materials, including:

• Wall Studs, Siding & Assorted Lumber
• Wood Flooring
• Hardware, Nails & Fixtures
• Concrete
• Beams & Joists
• Piping & Plumbing Fixtures
• Wiring, Electrical Components & Light Fixtures
• Doors & Windows
• Appliances
• Cabinets
• Countertops

Our commitment to salvaging materials goes beyond regulations – it’s about reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability.

The Environmental Impact

Deconstruction significantly reduces the environmental footprint by diverting materials from landfills. Salvaging and recycling are integral to achieving recycling compliance and minimizing waste.

Donating Salvaged Materials

Materials salvaged during deconstruction can be donated to non-profit organizations for resale or community projects, providing potential tax deductions for homeowners or contractors.

Choosing Between Deconstruction and Demolition

While deconstruction is environmentally friendly, considerations include time, labor, cost, and safety. We guide you through this decision-making process, assessing your project’s unique circumstances to determine the best course of action.
