Most structural demolition projects in the City of San Diego require a demolition permit from the Development Services Department. This includes garage, pool, and whole-structure teardowns. Interior-only demolition like kitchen or bathroom gut-outs may fall under your remodel permit. Demo Diego handles all permit coordination for you.
Demolition costs vary by project type. Bathroom demolition runs $1,500 to $4,500, kitchen demolition $2,000 to $6,000, garage demolition $3,500 to $10,000, and pool demolition $5,000 to $15,000. Commercial demolition starts at $5,000 and can exceed $50,000 for large projects. We provide exact pricing during your free estimate.
Most residential demolition projects take one to five days depending on the scope. A bathroom gut takes one day, a kitchen one to two days, a garage one to three days, and a pool three to five days. Commercial projects may take one to two weeks. We provide a clear timeline during your estimate.
Any structure built before 1980 may contain asbestos or lead paint. We arrange certified testing before demolition begins. If hazardous materials are found, we coordinate with licensed abatement professionals to remove them safely before we proceed. This is included in our standard process for older buildings.
We sort all demolition debris on-site. Concrete, metal, and wood are hauled to certified recycling facilities. We consistently exceed the City of San Diego's 65% construction waste diversion requirement, keeping as much material as possible out of the landfill.
