We handle demolition in Fremont, and the city sits on our regular route between the Central Valley and the Bay, on I-880 at the East Bay end of the Dumbarton Bridge.
Fremont became a city in 1956, when five towns joined together. Most of the housing went up in the years right after that. Those 1950s and 1960s houses are the ones owners take down now, and many hold asbestos. We hold CSLB #247684 and CAL OSHA #507, and our family has run this business since 1967.

Fremont issues demolition permits through Building and Safety, at the Development Services Center on Liberty Street. The city checks the age of the building when the application goes in. Any building 50 years old or older gets screened for historic significance first. No demolition permit is issued until that screening is done.
That rule catches most original Fremont houses now. A tract home built in 1962 passed the 50-year mark back in 2012. Most houses clear the screening and the permit moves ahead. We build that step into the schedule before any machine gets on site.
Half of Fremont's homes were built before 1979, and asbestos was still in building materials then. It shows up in popcorn ceilings, floor tile and the black mastic under it, duct wrap, and old siding. A certified inspector surveys the house and reports what is there. We handle asbestos removal in Fremont's mid-century houses once that survey comes back.
The Bay Area Air District wants notice before demolition starts. Every demolition of a load-bearing building needs it, with or without asbestos. The notice runs 10 working days ahead of the start date. That filing returns a J number, and Fremont wants the J number before it issues the demolition permit.
Fremont lots carry most of the value, and the house on top is often the oldest part of the deal. Buyers in Mission San Jose and Glenmoor take down the original ranch house and build bigger. Glenmoor Gardens alone holds close to 1,900 homes from the 1950s and 1960s. We handle house demolition in Fremont, along with the slab, the driveway, the patio, and the detached garage.
These streets sit tight, with houses close together and fence lines a few feet off the wall. We take the structure down in sections rather than pushing it over, and we keep water on the dust. Fire damage cleanup takes the burned framing and finishes out of a house. Interior demolition covers the cases where the shell stays and the inside comes out.
Warm Springs runs on advanced manufacturing. Tesla's factory covers about 5.3 million square feet, and Zoox, Seagate, Western Digital, and Thermo Fisher sit nearby. Warm Springs sits at the south end of Alameda County, and we cross that line for demolition in San Jose. Space like that changes tenants, and we do interior demolition to strip the inside back to the shell.
Those concrete floors hold old coatings and glue. We handle flooring removal and surface preparation with UHP water blasting at 40,000 psi, which lifts coatings without grinding dust. Concrete demolition covers the heavier pieces, like slabs, footings, dock walls, and equipment pads. Commercial building demolition of two and three story buildings is the size we take on.
Fremont wants a waste handling plan before it issues the demolition permit. The plan names the debris the job will make and the facility that takes it. Filing runs through Fremont Waste Tracking, the city's Green Halo system. At the end of the job, the city wants a debris disposal and diversion report with receipts.
The city asks for all of the concrete and asphalt to be recycled or reused. Another 65 percent of the remaining debris has to stay out of the landfill. Fremont also asks you to look at salvage before demolition starts. Land and site clearing carries the same paperwork when brush and old structures come off a parcel.
