Duration depends on the structure, removal depth, access, preparation and hauling requirements. A start date and work sequence are confirmed after review; approval or utility work may need to happen first.
Yes. GarageDemolition can review structure-only removal or a scope that also includes breaking and hauling the slab. Footings, excavation and grading should be identified separately.
Loading, hauling, disposal and the extent of cleanup can be included in the agreed scope. Ask for those inclusions and the final site condition to be clearly stated in the quote.
The professional responsible for the replacement structure should assess whether the existing base is suitable. Garage removal alone does not establish that a slab can support a new building.
List stored belongings, rubbish and any materials needing separate handling. Contents should be distinguished from demolition waste in the scope.
Confirm the requirements with the municipality for your exact property and proposed work. Include whether the garage is attached, its connections and any available drawings. Agree on application and utility responsibilities before scheduling.
Send photos and drawings of the connection. The removal boundary, retained structure and necessary assessment must be reviewed before a detached-garage plan is assumed.
Do not disturb suspect materials to obtain photographs or measurements. Arrange the appropriate assessment and confirm specialist handling before removal proceeds.
No. The relevant authority determines the requirements and approval. Confirm what coordination or application assistance is included and who handles professional documents and fees.
Confirm the responsibilities for municipal approvals, utility disconnections and any necessary structural or material assessment before scheduling. Identify what remains on the property and give the incoming contractor a clear description of the expected handoff.
For Toronto projects, consult the City’s building permit guidance. Elsewhere, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property. Suspected asbestos-containing materials should be assessed before disturbance; see Ontario’s guidance for demolition and repair work.
