Demolition & Hauling ACROSS MONTROSE, CO
Removal of Old Structures, Concrete, Asphalt & Debris for Homes, Ranches & Commercial Sites Around Montrose
Making Room for Your Next Project
An old shed, a crumbling patio, a cracked parking lot, or a house that's past saving all have to come out before anything new can go in. The site also needs to be left clean enough for the next crew to start.
El Chapin Excavation handles demolition and removal for homeowners, landowners, and businesses around Montrose, then hauls the debris away. Because we also do grading, site prep, and foundation digs, the cleared site can move straight into the next phase without bringing in another contractor.
What to Expect During Demolition
Site Visit
We look at what's coming out, how we'll get equipment to it, and what nearby needs protecting.
Utility Shutoffs & Locates
Power, gas, water, and sewer to the structure are shut off and capped, and underground lines are marked through Colorado 811.
Teardown & Breaking
Structures are taken down, and concrete or asphalt is broken up with excavators and rock breakers.
Loading & Hauling
Debris is loaded into dump trucks and hauled off the property.
Cleanup & Rough Grading
The area is cleaned up and rough graded so it's ready for whatever comes next.
Choosing the Right Scope for Your Demolition Project

Old homes, garages, barns, sheds, and outbuildings taken down and cleared from the property.

What to Know Before Tearing Something Down
Do I need a permit for demolition in Montrose?
Many demolition projects need a permit, especially when a full structure is coming down. Rules differ between the City of Montrose and Montrose County, and older buildings may also need an asbestos inspection before demolition starts.
How much does demolition cost?
Demolition cost depends on the size and type of structure, what it's built from, site access, how far debris has to be hauled, and disposal fees. We look at what's coming out, then quote the job.
What happens to the debris after demolition?
We load it into dump trucks and haul it off, leaving the site cleared and ready for the next step.
Can the concrete foundation be removed during demolition?
Yes. Footings, slabs, and foundation walls can be broken up and removed along with the structure, and the hole can be backfilled and compacted.
