Demolition in Sacramento, CA

Serving Sacramento · Sacramento County

A Demolition Contractor Sacramento Can Reach

We are based in Riverbank, about 64 miles south of Sacramento. This has been a family company since 1967, and Sacramento is one of our core markets. The city's core is old. Alkali Flat still holds houses built between 1853 and 1869, and that age shows up once the walls open.

We take on asbestos removal and abatement, interior demolition, residential demolition, and commercial building demolition. Houses and two to three story commercial buildings are the sweet spot. Stockton sits between Riverbank and Sacramento on the same run north, and our demolition work in Stockton follows that line.

Asbestos rules before a Sacramento demolition

Sacramento falls under the Sac Metro Air District. Its Rule 902 governs asbestos during demolition and renovation. A written plan goes to the district at least ten working days before a regulated building comes down. The survey behind that plan comes from a certified asbestos consultant.

Rule 902 exempts most buildings with four or fewer dwelling units. That exemption drops when the replacement use is commercial or industrial. It also drops when five or more dwelling units go in, which is common with Midtown infill. We handle asbestos abatement in Sacramento homes under CSLB #247684 and CAL OSHA #507.

Sacramento demolition permits and the fifty year review

Demolition permits inside city limits come from the City of Sacramento Community Development Department. City code chapter 15.44 covers wrecking and demolition of buildings. Addresses outside the city line answer to a different jurisdiction, so the address decides the process.

Under city code 17.604.600, a building fifty years or older gets reviewed before the permit is issued. The preservation director has 45 days to decide whether it is eligible for the Sacramento register. Partial work counts too. Fifty linear feet of exterior wall, or more than half the footprint, meets the code's definition of demolition.

Interior demolition in Midtown and along R Street

The R Street corridor runs 27 blocks through the central city and traces back to 1855. Owners along it keep the brick shell and rebuild the inside. The Warehouse Artist Lofts opened in 2014 with 116 apartments in a rehabbed R Street warehouse. Work like that means stripping the interior while the shell and frame stay up.

We handle interior strip-outs in Sacramento on those jobs. Walls, ceilings, ductwork, and flooring come out while the structure holds. Flooring removal and surface preparation is its own step at the end. Our UHP water blasting runs at 40,000 psi and takes coatings and adhesive off concrete slabs.

Fire damage cleanup and concrete demolition in Sacramento

Rule 902 counts the handling of material after an accidental fire as part of a demolition. That puts a Sacramento fire damage cleanup on the same notification track as a teardown. We pull out burned framing, charred finishes, soaked drywall, and the debris underneath. What is left is clean structure or bare ground.

Concrete demolition covers driveways, foundations, slabs, and commercial flatwork. Land and site clearing takes a Sacramento lot down to bare ground. Call (209) 652-9206 to talk through a Sacramento address.

Who issues a demolition permit in Sacramento?
The City of Sacramento Community Development Department handles demolition permits inside city limits. City code chapter 15.44 covers wrecking and demolition of buildings. Addresses outside the city line fall under a different jurisdiction, so check which one your parcel sits in.
Does a Sacramento house teardown need an asbestos notification?
It depends on what goes in after. Sac Metro Air District Rule 902 exempts most buildings with four or fewer dwelling units. That exemption goes away when the new use is commercial or industrial. It also goes away when five or more dwelling units replace the house.
Does a Sacramento house over fifty years old take longer to demolish?
It adds a review. City code 17.604.600 sends buildings fifty years or older through the preservation director. That office has 45 days to make a preliminary call on Sacramento register eligibility. Curtis Park and Oak Park see this often, since most of that housing went up in the early 1900s.
