We do three things in Columbia, MO and the rest of Mid-Missouri: demolition, concrete, and the site work that finishes both. Every job runs under one contract with one point of contact, a fixed price for mobilization, equipment and crew, and disposal billed as a pass-through at actual loads and tonnage. Pick the service below that matches your project, or get a written bid and we will sort it out on the site visit.

Demolition

Structural teardowns are the core of the business. Houses, garages, barns, mobile homes and light commercial buildings come down with the 2019 Cat 308, get sorted and hauled, and the site is left backfilled and graded. Interior and selective demolition strips a building back to the studs or removes one section while the rest stays standing. Permits, utility disconnects and the Missouri DNR asbestos inspection are coordinated before the first wall moves.

Concrete and paving

Concrete removal is breaking out and hauling off slabs, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots and foundations, from 4-inch residential flatwork to 8-inch reinforced commercial lots. When you want the surface back, our concrete crew pours the replacement under our contract and our warranty. Asphalt replacement is offered on lots and drives where it makes more sense than concrete.

Site work

Site work is the second half of a demolition or concrete job, not a stand-alone trade. Basements and foundation holes are backfilled in compacted lifts, lots are rough and final graded to drain away from what is left standing, and the ground is seeded and strawed or graveled. On larger projects we also build pads for new homes and shops and put in gravel drives and lots.

What we don't do

So the phone stops ringing for it:

  • Land clearing and mulching
  • Stand-alone excavation and trenching
  • Septic systems
  • Foundation repair
  • Concrete leveling and mudjacking
  • General repairs and handyman work

If your project is on that list we are not the right call, and we would rather tell you now than on the site visit.

How every job works

  • Site visit. Chris walks the property, measures the structure or the slab, checks access for the excavator and trucks, and looks at what the finished site needs to be.
  • Written fixed-price proposal. Mobilization, equipment and crew at one number. Disposal shown as a pass-through line at actual loads and tonnage, $40 to $90 per ton in Mid-Missouri.
  • Permits and disconnects. City of Columbia Building and Site Development inside city limits, Boone County Resource Management outside. Electric, gas and water are disconnected and the sewer capped before a teardown. We coordinate the asbestos inspection and any abatement; we do not perform abatement.
  • Execution. One to three days for most residential teardowns and concrete removals, longer for commercial work. Material is sorted on site: clean concrete to recycling where possible, the rest to the landfill.
  • Site left graded. Backfilled, compacted, graded to drain, seeded or graveled. Ready for the next trade or the mower.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you do land clearing?

No. We stopped taking land clearing work in 2026 to focus on demolition and concrete. Clearing brush, trees and fence lines is a different trade with different equipment, and doing it on the side meant doing it worse than the crews who do it every day. If your project is a teardown on a lot that also needs some trees out of the way of the excavator, we handle what is in the work zone as part of the demolition. If the whole job is clearing acreage, we are not the right call and will say so on the phone.

Do you do small jobs?

It depends on what small means. A shed, a deck, a patio slab or a short driveway is a normal job for us and gets the same site visit and written price as a house. What we don't take is work that costs more to mobilize to than it is worth: patching a few feet of sidewalk, leveling one low spot in a yard, or hauling a single load of debris someone else tore out. If you are not sure, call and describe it. We will tell you straight whether it makes sense for us to come out.

What area do you cover?

We are based in Columbia and work within about 45 minutes of it: Columbia, Jefferson City, Fulton, Moberly, Fayette, Boonville, Ashland and the smaller towns and rural properties in between, across Boone, Callaway, Cole, Audrain, Howard, Cooper, Randolph and Moniteau counties. Mobilization is built into the fixed price, so there is no separate trip charge. A job at the far edge of that circle needs to be large enough to justify moving the excavator; a full teardown in Moberly makes sense, a single patio slab probably does not.

How do I get a bid?

Two ways. Use the instant bid form to send photos and a description and get a rough range back, or call (573) 234-6641 and set up a site visit. Either way the firm number comes from walking the property: measuring the structure or slab, checking access for equipment and trucks, and looking at what the finished site needs to be. You get a written fixed-price proposal with disposal shown as a pass-through line. No pressure, no expiration games. If the price works, we schedule it.
