Do I need a permit for demolition or excavation work?
Yes. Most demolition projects and many excavation projects require city permits. We handle the entire permitting process for Janesville, Beloit, Madison, Milton, Stoughton, Edgerton, and surrounding Southern Wisconsin municipalities.
How long does a demolition or excavation project take?
Small structures and light excavation can be completed in 1–2 days. Larger homes, commercial buildings, foundations, or grading projects may take several days depending on size, access, and site conditions.
Do you coordinate utility shutoffs before starting the work?
Absolutely. We coordinate with local providers to disconnect gas, electric, water, and sewer lines before any demolition or excavation begins.
What types of debris do you haul away?
We remove and dispose of concrete, wood, metal, roofing, drywall, soil, brush, and mixed construction debris. All materials are properly sorted and taken to licensed Wisconsin disposal or recycling facilities.
Do you handle partial or selective demolition?
Yes. We perform interior demo, room-by-room removals, selective tear-outs, and partial structure removal for remodels and additions.
Can you work with tight access or limited space?
Yes. We have compact equipment for urban lots, alleys, small driveways, and tight residential spaces often found in Janesville and Madison neighborhoods.
Do you work with different soil types?
Yes — Southern Wisconsin has clay, hard limestone pockets, and glacial till. Our operators know how to excavate, grade, and stabilize all local soil types safely and correctly.
Will the site be cleaned and graded afterward?
Yes. Every project includes debris haul-off and a clean, safe work area. When needed, we also perform rough or final grading to prepare the site for your next phase.
Can you dig for foundations, utilities or septic systems?
Yes. We handle foundation excavation, trenching, utility trenches, septic system preparation, and all general excavation services.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are fully licensed, insured, and trained to perform demolition and excavation safely, meeting all state and local requirements.
