Every project includes dust control, site protection, noise control, and neighbor protection measures. We coordinate gas shutoff with PG&E, water shutoff with California Water Service, and electric disconnect to ensure safe utility isolation before demolition begins.

Residential Demolition

Complete house demolition, mobile home demolition, garage demolition, shed demolition, and barn demolition. We manage building permits, asbestos removal, and hazardous materials testing to keep your project compliant.

Concrete Demolition

Slab removal, foundation removal, driveway removal, sidewalk removal, patio removal, and retaining wall removal. Our crew uses hydraulic breakers, jackhammers, and concrete crushers to break and haul concrete efficiently.

Commercial & Interior Demolition

Full demolition of commercial structures or selective demolition for tenant improvements. We specialize in interior demolition that preserves structural integrity while clearing walls, fixtures, and finishes.

Site Preparation & Cleanup

Excavation, land clearing, site grading, debris hauling, and tree removal. We leave your property inspection-ready and prepared for new construction.

House Demolition

Whether it's an aging ranch home, a condemned duplex, or a property that's past the point of renovation, we bring it down and haul it out. Foundation removal, backfill, and grading included. Your lot is build-ready when we leave.

Mobile Home Demolition

Single-wides, double-wides, modular homes, office trailers. We've removed them all. We handle HUD compliance, utility disconnection, skirting removal, frame cutting, and recycling. The whole unit disappears in days, not weeks.

Pool Demolition

Inground concrete, fiberglass, vinyl. Full removal or partial fill-in. We break the structure, remove or perforate the shell, backfill with engineered material, compact, and grade. Permits pulled, inspections coordinated.

Barn & Outbuilding Demolition

Old barns, sheds, workshops, detached garages, agricultural structures. Many of these contain asbestos-era materials like corrugated siding and roofing. We coordinate abatement surveys and handle disposal to keep you compliant.

Fire Damaged Demolition

When fire leaves a structure unsafe or beyond repair, we clear what's left. Charred framing, collapsed roofing, contaminated debris. We remove it all and prep the lot for rebuild. We coordinate with insurance adjusters and work within claim timelines.

Asbestos Testing Coordination

Most structures built before 1980 require an asbestos survey before demolition can begin. We coordinate certified inspectors, manage the sampling and lab process, and handle the air district notifications so your project doesn't stall waiting on paperwork.

Inherited a property full of junk, old vehicles, and structures that need to come down? We handle the full scope. Junk removal, RV and trailer hauling, structure demolition, and site clearing. Escrow payment available for probate and estate properties.

Why Us

Why Chico Trusts Demo Patrol

Licensed, Insured & Bonded

Demo Patrol holds an active California Contractors State License (CSLB #1117491) as a general engineering contractor. We carry full liability insurance and bonding to protect your property and investment.

Permit Handling Included

Navigating Chico's demolition permit process can be complex. We manage the entire permit application through the City of Chico Building Division and coordinate required inspections, asbestos notifications, and environmental testing with the Butte County Air Quality Management District.

One-Stop-Shop Approach

Unlike contractors who subcontract debris hauling or hazmat work, Demo Patrol handles everything in-house. We provide our own dump trucks, roll-off dumpsters, excavators, skid steers, and concrete recycling services—eliminating coordination headaches and delays.

Transparent Pricing

Every client receives a written estimate with an itemized quote breaking down demolition, hauling, permits, and site cleanup costs. No surprises. Typical pricing for house demolition in Chico ranges from $8–$15 per square foot, while interior demolition runs $15–$30 per square foot depending on project scope.

Jobsite Safety Standards

Our crew follows OSHA-10 compliant safety protocols on every project. We conduct pre-demolition walkthroughs to identify lead paint, asbestos-containing materials, and structural hazards before work begins.

Demolition Permits

Demolition Permits & Compliance in Chico

Chico and Butte County enforce strict regulations for structure demolition. Here's what property owners need to know:

Demo Patrol removes the regulatory burden so you can focus on your next phase of construction.

Building Permit Requirement

All demolition projects in Chico require a demolition permit issued by the City of Chico Building Division (411 Main Street). Applications are processed through the eTRAKiT online portal or in person.

Asbestos Notification

California law mandates asbestos surveys for all structures built before 1980. Butte County Air Quality Management District assumed NESHAP delegation in January 2024, requiring property owners to submit notification forms and asbestos survey results before demolition. Demo Patrol coordinates with certified asbestos inspectors and manages the notification process.

Utility Disconnect

Gas, water, and electric services must be professionally disconnected before demolition. We arrange shutoffs with PG&E, California Water Service, and the City of Chico to ensure compliance.

Inspection & Final Sign-Off

After demolition, the City of Chico requires a final inspection to verify proper site cleanup, debris removal, and lot grading. We handle this coordination as part of our service.
