Demolition Contractors in Tucker, GA

Tucker's housing grew in the decades after World War II, and much of the work for demolition contractors in Tucker comes from that era. Wikipedia describes how Tucker shifted from farming to a mix of industrial, retail and residential uses after the war, pushed along by the CDC's founding in 1946, the county's water system and the baby boom. Brick ranches and split-levels from those years now line many of Tucker's streets, and owners are deciding whether to gut them, add on or start over.

Taking apart a postwar house

Houses from the 1950s through the 1970s were built solidly but with materials we treat carefully: vinyl and asphalt floor tile, mastic, duct and pipe insulation, and sometimes textured ceilings. We recommend testing before demolition, and if asbestos is found, Georgia EPD rules on notification and licensed removal apply. After that, a ranch house on a slab or crawlspace usually comes down in a day or two, with the foundation and driveway removed after.

Industrial and commercial work

Tucker is home to a large industrial area along Mountain Industrial Boulevard, where the Stone Mountain Community Improvement District operates. Warehouses, shops and older commercial buildings in that corridor regularly need interior strip-outs, office build-outs removed, mezzanines taken down or slabs broken out for new equipment. Commercial demolition means asbestos surveys, larger roll-off containers and planning around active neighbors and truck traffic.

Main Street

The first train reached the Tucker station on April 24, 1892, and Tucker is described as the highest point on the rail line between Atlanta and Richmond, Virginia. Main Street grew up around that line and still hosts Tucker Day, first held in the 1950s. Older buildings near Main Street call for more care, and we check with the city before planning any removal there.

A new city with its own permits

Voters approved cityhood in November 2015 with 73.94 percent in favor, and Tucker began operating as a city in 2016. It now issues its own permits. The 2020 census counted 37,005 residents and 16,255 housing units. We confirm the current permit, disconnect and erosion requirements for your address before scheduling.

Lot prep after the house is gone

Tucker sits at about 1,122 feet, and cleared lots here are often clay that washes when it rains. We install silt fence and a gravel exit before demolition, remove the foundation and buried debris, and leave the lot rough-graded and stabilized. Call (470) 260-8440 to talk through your project.
