Demolition Contractors in Brookhaven, GA

Brookhaven is one of the busiest places around Atlanta for infill building, and demolition contractors in Brookhaven spend much of their time on small lots with neighbors close on both sides. The city covers just under 12 square miles, and the 2020 census counted 25,945 housing units there. Older houses on good streets are regularly replaced with new ones, and the old house, foundation, driveway and sometimes a pool all have to come out cleanly first.

Where the neighborhood came from

Historic Brookhaven grew up around a country club. In 1910 the club bought 150 acres on the north side of Peachtree Road, joined the downtown Capital City Club in 1911, opened a nine-hole course in 1912 and expanded to eighteen holes in 1915. Houses near the club range from early 20th-century homes to much newer rebuilds. On older lots we look for brick piers, old coal or oil equipment in basements and materials that should be tested before demolition.

Tight lots call for smaller equipment

On a narrow lot, the biggest machine is rarely the right one. We pick equipment that can work inside the property lines, protect the neighbors' fences and driveways, keep the street clear and control dust with water when it is dry. Debris is loaded and hauled as we go, and the construction exit is stabilized with gravel so clay does not track onto the road. If a mature tree on your lot or a neighbor's lot overhangs the work area, we plan around its roots and canopy.

Commercial demolition along Buford Highway and Peachtree

Brookhaven's commercial corridors keep changing too. Northeast Plaza on Buford Highway is a late-1950s strip center of about 466,000 square feet, and Town Brookhaven, a 54-acre mixed-use district on Peachtree Road, opened in 2010 on land that was redeveloped. For commercial owners, we strip tenant spaces back to the shell, remove storefronts and break out slabs so the next tenant's build-out can start on schedule.

A city that handles its own permits

Brookhaven incorporated on December 17, 2012, after a July 2012 referendum, and now issues its own building permits. A teardown needs the city permit, utility disconnects for power, gas and water, a capped sewer and erosion control in place. We confirm the current requirements for your address and handle the scheduling so the permit and the crew line up.

Partial and interior demolition

Many Brookhaven owners are not tearing down the whole house. They are removing a dated addition, a back porch, a detached garage or an entire interior before a remodel. We separate what stays from what goes, protect the finished areas and haul the debris out the same day where we can. Call (470) 260-8440 to set up an estimate.
