Residential Demolition Projects We Manage
A house coming down before a rebuild
Full removal to grade with the disconnects documented and the lot handed off ready for your builder. The disconnect paperwork is what keeps the new-construction permit from stalling later.
A garage, shed, or outbuilding past saving
Smaller structures still need utilities verified, a legal haul, and often a permit. Skipping those steps is how a cheap teardown becomes an expensive problem at sale time.
Fire or storm damage not worth repairing
When the insurer and the math both say rebuild, we document the structure, coordinate the removal safely, and keep the paper trail your claim and your lender will ask for.
An interior gut ahead of a remodel
Selective demo takes more care than a teardown — everything staying has to be protected while everything going comes out clean, with lines capped where the new layout needs them.
What Tearing Down a House Here Involves
Three local realities shape almost every residential demo we manage.
Asbestos-era materials in older homes
Much of the older housing stock predates modern material rules. Siding, flooring, and pipe insulation from those decades need testing before disturbance — a step that protects the crew, the neighbors, and you.
Disconnects are licensed-trade work
Gas, water, sewer, and electrical cap-offs have to happen correctly before anything comes down. Falcon 5's own licensed crews handle and document these — which is exactly the part of a demo most likely to go wrong.
Permits vary by jurisdiction
City limits, Hewitt, Robinson, Bellmead, and unincorporated McLennan County each handle demolition permits and documentation differently. We pull the right paperwork for where the property actually sits.
How the Job Works
Walkthrough and written price
We walk the property, assess the structure and utilities, and put the full scope — permits, disconnects, demo, haul-off — into one written price you approve first.
Permits and disconnects
Falcon 5 pulls the permits and our licensed crews cap and document the gas, water, sewer, and electrical services before demolition is scheduled.
Managed demolition
The heavy work is performed by a vetted subcontractor partner under our management — our schedule, our supervision, our name on the job.
Haul-off and handoff
Debris leaves the site legally, the lot is left to the agreed condition, and you get the documentation package your builder or buyer will want.
What Moves a Residential Demo Price
One written number after a walkthrough — never a phone estimate that grows on site. The drivers:
Structure size and construction type
A wood-framed garage and a brick house with a slab are very different removals. Foundations, chimneys, and slabs add scope that has to be priced up front.
Utility disconnect scope
How services enter the property and where they can be safely capped changes the licensed-trade portion of the work — the part we never shortcut.
Debris volume and site access
Haul distance, dump fees, and how close trucks and equipment can get to the structure all move the number. Tight urban lots take more handling than open ones.
You approve the price before any paid work starts. Diagnosis comes first, then written repair options — no surprise add-ons at the end of the visit.
What Waco Neighbors Say

“Our sink was leaking, so Falcon 5 Plumbing responded to our AHS request for service. The response was almost immediate and our technician came out that day. Within a few hours, we had a new sink installed. He was very professional considerate, and did a great job.”
“Had a last minute emergency. Amazing response from the owner himself and came out to save the day. If you're looking for a true honest HVAC/plumbing company, give them a call.”
“Needed a gas line run for my generator. Falcon 5 came and took care of it. They're honest on time and very reasonably priced.”

Straight Answers, Before You Call
Does Falcon 5 run the excavator itself?
No, and we say so plainly: the heavy demolition is performed by vetted subcontractor partners we manage directly. Our own licensed crews handle the gas, water, sewer, and electrical disconnects that have to be right before anything comes down. You still get one contract, one schedule, and one accountable contractor.
What permits does a residential teardown need?
A demolition permit from the jurisdiction the property sits in, plus documented utility disconnects — and the requirements differ between the city, the surrounding towns, and county land. We pull the permits and keep the records; an unpermitted demo can stall a lot sale or a rebuild for months.
How long does a teardown take?
The demolition itself is usually days. The calendar is driven by what comes first: material testing where the age requires it, utility disconnects, and permit approval. From walkthrough to cleared lot, most straightforward projects run a few weeks — and the written proposal includes the expected timeline.
What condition is the lot in afterward?
Whatever the written scope says — that is the point of writing it. Typically debris is hauled off, the excavation is backfilled and rough-graded, and disconnect documentation is handed over. If your builder needs a specific handoff condition, we scope to that from the start.
