Lilburn's Growth Years Built the Houses We Work On

Lilburn grew in three straight decades of fast growth, and that is where most of the calls for demolition contractors in Lilburn come from. The town had 1,668 residents in 1970, 3,765 in 1980 and 9,301 by 1990, a 147 percent jump in the 1980s alone. The 2020 census counted 14,502 residents and 4,841 housing units. Houses from that era are now 35 to 55 years old.

A railroad town first

Lilburn was founded in 1890 by the Seaboard Air Line Railway on land previously called McDaniel, and it was incorporated on July 27, 1910. Old Town Lilburn, the original downtown, has been revitalized with shops and restaurants. Older buildings near Old Town need more careful planning before anything is removed, and we check whether the city has any interest in a structure before we plan its removal.

Inside 1970s and 1980s houses

Most Lilburn jobs are interior gut-outs. We remove kitchens, baths, flooring, paneling and drywall, and take out non-structural walls once the builder confirms which walls carry load. Houses of this age should be tested for asbestos in floor tile, mastic, joint compound and ceilings before demolition. If it is found, licensed removal comes first and Georgia EPD rules apply.

Outside the house

Backyard work is common too: rotted decks removed in sections, sheds and carports taken down, old pools broken out and backfilled, and driveways and patios replaced. We protect the lawn and landscaping you are keeping and leave the area clean.

Full teardowns

When a house is beyond saving, we handle the full job: permit, utility disconnects, a capped sewer or handled septic, erosion control, demolition, foundation removal and lot grading. Lilburn sits at about 950 feet, and its 6.85 square miles include sloped lots near creeks, so we place silt fence on the downhill side before work starts.
