What to check when hiring demolition contractors in the United States
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- Contractor licensing in the US is set by each state (and sometimes the city or county). For electrical, plumbing, HVAC or any major build, confirm the trade is licensed on your state's licensing board before hiring. Unlicensed work where a license is required can void permits and insurance and leave you no recourse.
- Ask for a lien waiver as you pay each stage: in most US states an unpaid contractor or subcontractor can place a mechanic's lien on your home even if you already paid the main contractor, and a signed waiver is your protection.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
How to judge a demolition contractor
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Demolition usually needs a specialty contractor license (for example the CSLB C-21 building moving/demolition license in California) and a demolition permit: verify both.
- Federal and state law require an asbestos (and often lead) survey before demolishing older structures: confirm a licensed inspector checks first and that any abatement is handled properly.
- Confirm utilities are officially disconnected (gas, electric, water, sewer cap) and an 811 locate is done before they start.
- Confirm general liability and workers' compensation, and proper debris haul-off and disposal.
Warning signs of a rogue contractor
- Starts demo on a pre-1980 building with no asbestos/lead survey: a serious health and legal violation.
- No demolition permit or utility disconnects.
- No license or insurance.
- Dumps debris improperly, or is vague about disposal.
Questions to ask before you hire
- What is your license, and is a demolition permit in hand?
- Has an asbestos/lead survey been done, and who abates it?
- Are all utilities disconnected, and is an 811 locate done?
- Do you carry liability and workers' comp, and how is debris disposed?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy demolition contractor?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A demolition contractor backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend demolition contractors for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Demolition contractors are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a demolition contractor?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the demolition contractor, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
