What it is · when you need it

Demolition is the controlled teardown of a structure — house, mobile home, pool deck, commercial building, or interior — followed by debris haul-off and a clean site. People call us when a property is past repair, when a rebuild is planned, or when an old structure needs to come off the lot before site work can start.

We handle residential teardowns, mobile and manufactured homes, pool demo, interior selective demo, and commercial work — under one license, one insurance, one crew.

Florida specifics

Florida specifics we handle for you: the local demolition permit, utility disconnects, the DEP 10-day asbestos notice on pre-1981 structures, and proper disposal manifests so nothing comes back on you later.

The one-stop sequence

One company. The whole job.

  • Teardown
  • Cleared
  • Excavated
  • Graded
  • Finished Grade

Demolition is the front end of the sequence. Once the structure is down and the debris is gone, we move straight into clearing, excavation, grading, and finished grade — without you having to line up two more contractors.

What it costs

What demolition costs in Florida Gulf Coast.

No surprise charges — a firm, itemized price before any work begins.

House demolition in Florida Gulf Coast typically runs roughly $4–$17 per square foot, with a full residential teardown landing in the $8,000–$25,000+ range depending on size, structure, slab/foundation removal, and disposal. Older homes (pre-1981) trigger a required DEP asbestos survey, which adds time. Commercial and pool-adjacent jobs price separately. Ask whether your quote includes foundation/slab removal — many lowball estimates exclude it. Call Brookins for a free, on-site estimate — we'll walk it, list it, price it.

Scope transparency

What's in a real Brookins quote.

The trade's biggest trust problem is the lowball quote that turns into three change orders. We bid the actual scope, in writing, the first time.

  • Firm, itemized scope

    Every line item written out — what's in, what's not, and how much. No vague 'site work' lump sum.

  • Conditions explained up front

    Soil, slab, permits, gopher tortoise — anything that can move the price is flagged before the contract, not on day three.

  • No surprise change orders

    If something genuinely changes once we're on site, we tell you, price it, and you decide. No mid-job invoices for work you didn't agree to.

  • Permits and paperwork included

    Demolition permits, utility disconnects, county and state notices, FWC coordination — handled as part of the scope, not billed as extras.

FAQ

Questions about demolition.

Do you handle the demolition permit?+
Yes. We pull the local building-department demolition permit, coordinate utility disconnects, and file the DEP 10-day asbestos notice on pre-1981 structures.
Does the quote include foundation and slab removal?+
Ours does — and we tell you in writing. Foundation/slab removal is one of the most common 'surprise' add-ons in this trade; we price it in up front so there's no change order later.
How long does a residential teardown take?+
A typical Florida Gulf Coast single-family home is 1–3 days of active demo plus permit lead time. Mobile/manufactured homes are usually faster; commercial and pool-adjacent work runs longer.
Do you do interior or selective demolition?+
Yes — interior demo for renovations and selective tear-outs for additions or remodels. Same crew, same insurance.
