Licensed Demolition Contractors in San Diego
Professional interior and exterior demolition for renovation, remodeling, and new construction. Selective demo, full teardown, concrete removal, and complete debris hauling — serving San Diego County.
Before you can build something new, sometimes the old has to go. Subworkit Contracting provides licensed, insured demolition services for residential and commercial projects throughout San Diego County. From surgical interior selective demo for kitchen remodels to full concrete driveway removal and structure teardown, our experienced crews demolish safely, efficiently, and leave your site clean and ready for the next phase.
Interior demolition is where most renovation projects begin. Our selective demolition crews carefully remove exactly what needs to go — cabinets, countertops, flooring, drywall, tile, bathtubs, and non-structural walls — while protecting the surrounding structure, plumbing, electrical, and finishes you want to keep. This precision approach saves time and money on your renovation by minimizing unnecessary damage and reducing repair costs.
Concrete demolition is one of our specialties. Driveways, patios, sidewalks, pool decks, slabs, and footings — our crews break, remove, and haul away concrete of any thickness. We use equipment ranging from demolition hammers and skid steers to full-size excavators, depending on the project scale. All concrete debris is hauled away and recycled at certified facilities, keeping it out of landfills.
Full structure demolition requires careful planning, proper permitting, and expert execution. Whether you're tearing down a garage to build an ADU, removing an old shed, or demolishing a damaged structure, our licensed team handles the entire process. We obtain demolition permits, coordinate utility disconnections, perform asbestos and lead paint assessments when required, execute the demolition safely, and handle all debris removal and site cleanup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does demolition cost?
+
Demolition costs depend on the type of work, size, and complexity. We provide free, detailed estimates for every project.
Do I need a permit for demolition?
+
Most structural demolition in California requires a permit, including garage teardowns, pool removal, and full structure demolition. Interior selective demo for renovations typically falls under the renovation permit. We handle all permit applications.
How long does a demolition project take?
+
Interior selective demo usually takes 1–3 days. Concrete driveway or patio removal takes 1–2 days. Full structure demolition ranges from 2–5 days. Pool demolition takes 3–5 days. We provide specific timelines in our estimates.
Do you handle asbestos and lead paint?
+
We coordinate asbestos and lead paint testing when required (common in homes built before 1980). If hazardous materials are found, we arrange licensed abatement before demolition begins. Safety is never compromised.
Can you demolish just part of a structure?
+
Absolutely. Selective demolition is one of our core services. We can remove specific rooms, walls, sections of concrete, or portions of a structure while preserving the rest. This is essential for renovation and remodeling projects.
What happens to the demolition debris?
+
All debris is hauled away by our crews. Concrete, metal, and clean wood are recycled at certified facilities. The remaining waste is disposed of at licensed landfills. We provide recycling documentation upon request.
