Demolition Contractors in Lawrenceville, GA

Lawrenceville has been around longer than almost any city near Atlanta, and demolition contractors in Lawrenceville see a wider range of building ages than in most of Gwinnett County. The city was incorporated on December 15, 1821, making it the second-oldest city in the metro area, and it is the Gwinnett County seat. It sits about 30 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta. The 2020 census counted 30,629 residents and 10,660 housing units.

Older houses near the square

The courthouse on the square was built in 1885, replacing a brick courthouse put up in 1823 and 1824. The streets around downtown hold some of the oldest houses in the county, mixed with mid-century homes and newer infill. When an older house near the square is being removed or gutted, we look carefully at the foundation, the framing and any materials that need testing, and we check whether the property has any historic standing before planning removal.

Mid-century and newer homes

Farther out, Lawrenceville's neighborhoods include ranch houses from the decades after World War II and subdivision homes from the 1980s onward. Those jobs tend to be interior gut-outs, deck and porch removal, garage and shed teardowns and driveway breakout. For full teardowns, we remove the house, foundation, driveway and accessory buildings and leave the lot stabilized.

Larger lots and outbuildings

Some Lawrenceville properties still have older barns, sheds, carports and workshops, especially on larger parcels toward the edges of town. Taking these down means checking for old wiring, buried fuel tanks and anything stored inside that needs separate disposal. We sort metal for recycling where we can and haul the rest.

Steady growth

The population grew from 28,546 in 2010 to 30,629 in 2020, a 7.3 percent increase, and the city estimates continued growth. That growth brings redevelopment of older lots in and around town.

Permits and utilities

Lawrenceville issues its own building permits. Before demolition, electric, gas and water service have to be disconnected by whichever provider serves your property, and the sewer or septic has to be handled. The city sits at about 1,083 feet, and cleared ground needs erosion control. We confirm everything with the city before scheduling. Call (470) 260-8440 to set up a visit.
