We do demolition in San Carlos, from the flats to the hillsides. San Carlos sits in the middle of our Peninsula range, with Redwood City, Belmont, San Mateo, and Menlo Park all close by. A job in White Oaks or Clearfield Park is a regular run for us.
This is a family company, and we have been doing demolition since 1967. San Carlos housing is mostly mid century, with more than half built between 1940 and 1969. Those small ranch houses now sit on lots worth millions. Owners take the old house down and build new.

San Carlos sits in the middle of our Peninsula work. Redwood City, Belmont, San Mateo, and Menlo Park are all minutes away, and jobs here run from house teardowns on the flats to strip-outs in east side commercial buildings.
Street width matters on the flats, so we size the machine to the driveway and the curb cut. Tight lots come apart in sections, and the loads go out in smaller trucks where the street calls for it.
More than half of the housing in San Carlos was built between 1940 and 1969. Small ranch houses fill White Oaks, Howard Park, Burton Park, and Clearfield Park. The lot now carries most of the value here. That math is why owners ask about San Carlos house teardowns.
Old driveways, patios, footings, and slabs come out with the house. Lots on the flats run narrow, and the house next door can sit close to the line. We handle concrete removal on Peninsula lots with the same excavators. The ground is left clear for your builder.
The City of San Carlos Building Division handles demolition permits from 600 Elm Street. Applications go through the city's online permit portal. Larger jobs need a construction and demolition waste management plan under city code. Demolition can begin five working days after the demolition permit is issued.
Every demolition also gets reported to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. The notice goes in at least ten working days ahead, and the job gets a J number. It applies even when the building holds no asbestos. We hold CSLB #247684 and CAL OSHA #507.
The east side of San Carlos is shifting from warehouses to lab and office space. The city adopted its Northeast Area Specific Plan for that ground between Highway 101 and Old County Road. Interior demolition is a big part of that turnover. We strip out interior walls, ceilings, ductwork, and old finishes down to the bare shell.
Commercial building demolition is the heavier end, and two and three story buildings suit our equipment. Flooring removal and surface preparation runs on ultra high pressure water blasting at 40,000 psi. It pulls coatings and glue off a concrete slab and keeps the dust down. We handle the same demolition up the Peninsula in San Francisco.
West of Alameda de las Pulgas the ground climbs. Crestview, Beverly Terrace, Alder Manor, and Cordes sit up on that hill. Driveways get steep and back lots run into canyon brush. Land and site clearing up there takes smaller machines and more hand work.
Fire damage cleanup is its own job. We pull the burned framing, drywall, flooring, and insulation and haul the debris off. We stop when the structure is clear. Your builder picks it up from there.
