Chamblee's Buildings Are Turning Over

Chamblee has been rebuilding its downtown and corridors for years, so much of the work for demolition contractors in Chamblee is commercial or redevelopment-driven. The city was incorporated in 1907, and during World War I the U.S. Army operated Camp Gordon here, home to 40,000 servicemen. At the start of World War II the site reopened as a Navy flight training center. That military history left the city with an airport, old industrial land and neighborhoods built around them.

Next to PDK

DeKalb-Peachtree Airport, known as PDK, has averaged about 230,000 takeoffs and landings a year for more than 30 years and supports roughly 7,300 jobs. Hangars, shops and commercial buildings near the airport get remodeled and replaced over time. Commercial demolition near PDK means planning crane or high-reach work carefully and keeping debris contained.

Antique row and downtown

Much of Chamblee's downtown was given over to the antique trade, and Wikipedia notes that has been changing. As older storefronts and warehouses turn over, we handle interior strip-outs, storefront removal and full building demolition so redevelopment can start. Commercial work usually needs an asbestos survey and Georgia EPD notification when regulated material is found.

Residential work

The 2020 census counted 13,198 housing units in Chamblee. Older ranch houses on residential streets are being replaced by new homes and townhouses, and owners of houses they are keeping often want interiors gutted, garages removed or patios and driveways broken out. On tight lots we use smaller machines, protect neighboring property and haul debris as we go.

Big redevelopment plans

City plans have included a 375-acre live-work community called International Village and a 65,000-square-foot mall in the Atlanta Chinatown area. Large redevelopment like this starts with clearing what is already on the land: old buildings, slabs, parking lots and buried utilities.

Permits and site prep

Chamblee issues its own permits. Demolition needs utility disconnects, a capped sewer, erosion control on disturbed ground and asbestos checks on older buildings. The city sits at about 1,020 feet, and we install silt fence and a stabilized exit before work begins. Call (470) 260-8440 to set up an estimate.
