    Tearing Down a House in San Antonio

  • Drained indoor swimming pool taped off and marked for demolition inside a gutted building02

    Pool Removal and Fill-In

    Inground pools are one of the most common calls we get. We break out the shell, haul off the concrete and fill the hole so the yard is usable again. Concrete patios and decking around the pool can come out on the same job.

  • CAT excavator demolishing a commercial storefront building on a sunny morning03

    Commercial Building Demolition for GCs and Developers

    General contractors, developers and commercial property owners bring us in to take a commercial building down and clear the site for what comes next. We work to your schedule, with concrete, asphalt and foundations removed when the scope calls for it.

Job sequence

How a Hansco Demolition Project Runs

The same five steps on every job, from one backyard pool to a commercial site.

  1. Call and Get a Callback Within the Hour

    Call 210-669-2002 day or night. Every call is answered or returned within 1 hour.

  2. Walkthrough and a Same-Day or Next-Day Quote

    We look at the structure, the access and what's in the ground, and talk through the means and methods for your job. You get a quote the same day or the next.

  3. Prep: Utilities, Permits and Abatement

    Utilities get disconnected and the job gets permitted before equipment shows up. Any asbestos or lead is handled before or during demolition, depending on what was found.

  4. Excavators Take the Structure Down

    Excavators do the heavy work, run by people who know them. Some of our crew have been with Hansco 15 to 20 years.

  5. Haul-Off, Recycling and a Clear Site

    Debris gets hauled, and usable material gets recycled or salvaged where it can be. When a job calls for deconstruction, we take the structure apart for salvage instead of knocking it flat.

FAQ

Demolition Questions San Antonio Customers Ask First

Cost, permits, abatement and emergencies. If your question isn't here, call and ask. Every call is answered or returned within 1 hour.

(210) 669-2002

How much does house demolition cost in San Antonio?

It depends on the size of the house, how it's built, the foundation, room for equipment, and whether asbestos or lead has to be addressed first. Hansco prices every job after a walkthrough and gets you a quote the same day or the next, so you're working from a real number for your property.

How much does it cost to remove a pool?

Size, depth and construction set most of the price, along with decking, yard access, and whether the pool comes out completely or gets broken out and filled in place. Call for a same-day or next-day quote on yours.

Do I need a permit to tear down a house?

In most cases, yes. Demolition generally needs a permit, and utilities have to be disconnected before work starts. Requirements vary by city and county across our service area, so we go over what your job needs during the quote.

What happens if my house has asbestos or lead paint?

It gets dealt with as part of the job. Older homes and buildings can contain asbestos or lead-based paint, and those materials are addressed before or during demolition depending on what's found and where. We plan for it up front so it doesn't stall the schedule.

Do you work with insurance adjusters on fire and storm losses?

Yes. Hansco works with insurance adjusters and catastrophe contractors on fire and storm losses, and we're open 24/7 when a damaged structure needs to come down.

How fast can you respond to an emergency demolition?

We're open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every call is answered or returned within 1 hour, and from there we set the plan based on what's unsafe and what needs to happen first.
