Demolition is more than just knocking down walls—it’s a detailed, highly organized process that requires planning, experience, and a firm commitment to safety. At Legendary Demolition in St. Louis, MO, we’ve perfected this process, providing safe and efficient demolition services for residential, commercial, and industrial clients across the city.
Whether you’re clearing a home in South City or preparing a commercial property in Downtown St. Louis, here’s how we manage each project with professionalism from start to finish.
Consultation and Site Evaluation
Our process begins with a site visit to evaluate the structure, understand your project goals, and identify any environmental or structural challenges. St. Louis has a wide range of property types—from historic brick buildings to modern facilities—so we tailor every plan to the specific site, ensuring we’re prepared for any unique conditions.
Permitting and Regulatory Compliance
Demolition in St. Louis requires proper permitting through the City of St. Louis Building Division. We take care of the entire permitting process for you, ensuring that your project complies with city codes, zoning regulations, and any applicable environmental rules. With our knowledge of local ordinances, we prevent delays and streamline your project from the start.
Disconnecting Utilities and Preparing the Site
Before demolition begins, we coordinate with local utility companies to safely disconnect power, water, gas, and sewer lines. Once utilities are shut off, we secure the site with fencing and signage to ensure the safety of both our crew and the surrounding community. This preparation step is essential for a smooth, incident-free demolition.
Identifying and Removing Hazardous Materials
Many older buildings in St. Louis contain hazardous materials like asbestos or lead paint. These must be properly handled and removed before demolition begins. We work with certified abatement professionals to ensure all hazardous substances are dealt with safely and in accordance with Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) regulations.
Selecting the Best Demolition Method
No two buildings are alike. Depending on your property’s structure and location—whether it’s a warehouse near the Mississippi River or a duplex in The Hill—we select the best demolition method. For larger structures, we typically use mechanical demolition with heavy equipment. For more sensitive projects, we may use selective demolition to preserve surrounding areas and reduce debris.
Controlled Demolition Execution
Once everything is in place, our team begins demolition using modern, well-maintained machinery operated by experienced professionals. We follow all OSHA guidelines and St. Louis safety regulations while managing dust, noise, and debris. Our goal is to minimize disruption while completing your project on time and within budget.
Debris Removal and Final Cleanup
After the structure is removed, we handle all debris cleanup and waste removal. We recycle usable materials—such as brick, concrete, and metal—and dispose of remaining waste at approved facilities in the St. Louis area. We also grade the site and prepare it for the next stage, whether that’s new construction or redevelopment.
Final Walkthrough and Project Completion
We conclude every project with a final walkthrough to ensure all work meets your expectations. The site will be safe, clean, and ready for whatever comes next. At Legendary Demolition, we take pride in our attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction.
