At Big Dig, we provide residential and commercial demolition services throughout Birmingham and surrounding areas. From houses and garages to commercial buildings, we handle demolition, debris removal, and site cleanup from start to finish.
When an entire building needs to be removed, we can handle the demolition from the initial teardown through debris removal and cleanup. Full demolition may be appropriate for aging homes, damaged buildings, unwanted structures, redevelopment projects, and properties being cleared for new construction.
Not every project requires taking down the entire structure. Partial and selective demolition allows specific portions of a building to be removed while other areas remain in place. This can include removing additions, exterior sections, individual rooms, walls, or other targeted portions of a structure as part of a renovation, repair, or redevelopment project.
Preparing a home or commercial building for remodeling often starts with removing what is already there. Interior demolition can include walls, ceilings, flooring, drywall, fixtures, and other non-structural materials that need to be cleared before renovation work begins. We work carefully around portions of the property that are staying in place while removing and hauling away the materials that are not.
Old, damaged, or unwanted residential structures can take up valuable space and prevent a property from being used the way you want. We provide house demolition and residential structure removal for homeowners, property investors, contractors, and developers. Depending on the project, this can include houses, detached garages, sheds, additions, and other structures on residential properties.
Commercial demolition requires planning, the right equipment, and an understanding of the property surrounding the work area. We provide demolition services for commercial properties ranging from smaller standalone structures to larger buildings and redevelopment projects. We can coordinate the demolition, material removal, and cleanup necessary to leave the property ready for the next phase of work.
Larger and taller structures can require specialized equipment and additional planning to bring them down safely and systematically. Big Dig can evaluate high-reach and multi-story demolition projects to determine the equipment, access, and demolition approach required for the property.
Whether you need partial demolition for the interior or exterior of your home, the team at Big Dig Demolition and Excavating is the one call to do it all. With our decades of experience, attention-to-detail, and our commitment to quality services, you can rest easy knowing you are in good hands, on every project, every time.

Demolition needs can range from removing one unwanted structure from a residential property to clearing buildings as part of a larger commercial project.
Projects we can evaluate include:
Have something that isn't listed? Contact Big Dig and tell us about the structure and property. We can determine whether it's a project we can take on.

Demolition can leave behind large amounts of wood, concrete, metal, roofing, and other construction debris. We can load and remove demolition material so you aren't left figuring out how to clean up the property after the teardown.
Need cleanup without a full demolition? Learn more about our debris & junk removal services.
Slabs, foundations, driveways, pavement, and other concrete or asphalt may also need to be broken up and removed during a demolition or redevelopment project.
For projects centered specifically on these materials, see our Concrete & Asphalt Removal services.
Once a structure is gone, the property may require additional earthwork before construction, landscaping, drainage improvements, or another use can begin.
Learn more about our excavation & earthwork services for projects requiring digging, grading, earthmoving, or related site work.
Properties being prepared for development may require more than building removal. Trees, brush, stumps, uneven ground, and other obstacles can also need attention before the property is ready for its next use.
See our land clearing & grading services for additional property-clearing work.
A demolition contractor shouldn't only be equipped for one type of project. Big Dig works with homeowners, property owners, contractors, businesses, and developers on demolition projects ranging from smaller residential structures to larger commercial jobs.
Whether you're removing an old garage, demolishing a house, clearing part of a building for renovation, or preparing a commercial property for redevelopment, we'll evaluate the site and determine what is needed to get the work done.
Demolition involves more than putting a machine against a building. Access, surrounding structures, debris, equipment requirements, and what will happen with the property afterward all need to be considered before work begins. We bring demolition and excavation capabilities together, allowing us to handle more of the work involved in clearing and preparing a property.
We're licensed, bonded, and insured, and we approach each project with a focus on careful planning, capable equipment, efficient removal, and leaving the work area ready for the next stage.

Demolition costs vary based on the size and type of structure, construction materials, site access, amount of debris, equipment required, and the scope of cleanup. The best way to determine the cost of your project is to have the property and demolition needs evaluated for an estimate.
Yes. Big Dig provides demolition services for residential and commercial projects, including houses, garages, smaller structures, commercial buildings, interior spaces, and other demolition needs.
Yes. Partial and selective demolition can be used when only a specific section of a building needs to be removed. The appropriate approach depends on the structure and which portions need to remain.
Demolition debris removal and cleanup can be handled as part of the project. This helps eliminate the need to hire a separate company to load and haul away materials after the structure comes down.
Concrete associated with a demolition project can often be broken up and removed as part of the work. Big Dig also provides dedicated concrete and asphalt removal for projects involving slabs, driveways, pavement, and similar materials.
What happens next depends on how the property will be used. Some sites only require demolition and debris removal, while others may need excavation, grading, land clearing, or additional site preparation before construction or redevelopment can begin.
If you have a house, building, garage, commercial structure, or part of a property that needs to come down, talk to Big Dig about the project. We'll evaluate what needs to be removed and the work required to clear the site.
