About Hansco
Family-Owned Demolition Services in San Antonio Since 2000
Hansco is a family-owned company providing demolition services in San Antonio, the Hill Country and South Texas. We tear down houses, remove pools, take commercial buildings down, break out concrete and asphalt, pull foundations, clear land and haul off the debris. Homeowners call us. So do builders, property managers and insurance adjusters who need a site cleared and a straight answer on price.
Every call is answered or returned within 1 hour, day or night, and quotes go out the same day or the next. That standard holds whether it's one backyard pool or a full commercial site.
More About Hansco →What We Do
House, Pool, Commercial and Emergency Demolition
Tearing Down a House in San Antonio
Full teardowns for homeowners, real estate agents and builders clearing a lot to rebuild or sell. We handle the full house teardown: structure, foundation, driveway and debris. Older homes can hide asbestos or lead paint, and that gets addressed before or during the demo so the schedule holds.
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.
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.
Emergency and Fire Damage Demolition, 24/7
Storms, fires and structural failures don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Call any time and you get an answer or a callback within the hour. We take down unsafe structures, clear fire-damaged structures and contents, and work alongside insurance adjusters and catastrophe contractors on the job.
Who Calls Hansco for Demolition Work
Our customers run from a homeowner with one old garage to a developer clearing a whole lot. The work changes. The standard for response and cleanup doesn't.
- Homeowners tearing down a house to rebuild, or getting rid of a pool they no longer use
- Real estate agents who need a teardown or a problem structure gone before a listing or closing
- Developers and general contractors clearing lots and buildings ahead of new construction
- Commercial property owners and managers who need commercial demolition, slab removal or a parking lot torn out
- HOAs dealing with common-area structures, pools or storm damage
- Insurance adjusters and catastrophe contractors who need a fire or storm loss taken down and hauled off
If you searched for a demolition contractor near me from anywhere in Bexar County or the Hill Country, the call goes to the same family-run office in San Antonio.
What Drives Demolition Cost in San Antonio
The first thing most people ask is what it will cost. Pricing is competitive, every job is priced after we see it, and quotes go out the same day or the next. Here is what moves the number.
House Demolition Cost Factors
- Square footage and number of stories
- Construction type: wood frame, brick, block or a mix
- Foundation type, and whether the slab or piers come out too
- Asbestos or lead paint that has to be addressed first
- Room for an excavator and trucks to get in and out
- Permits, utility disconnects and how much material can be recycled
What Sets the Price of a Pool Teardown
- Pool size and depth
- Gunite, concrete, fiberglass or vinyl liner construction
- Full removal versus breaking out the shell and filling in place
- Decking, patios and equipment pads around the pool
- Yard access, fences and how close the pool sits to the house
- Fill material and compaction
Out in the Hill Country, a lot of pools are cut into limestone and caliche, which takes more breaking and more hauling than a pool set in softer ground. We look at that on the walkthrough so it's in the quote, not a surprise later.
How a Hansco Demolition Project Runs
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.
Family-Owned Since 2000, With Crews That Stay
Hansco has been family owned since 2000. Owner Shane Hans runs the company, and some of the crew have been here 15 to 20 years.

FAQ
Demolition Questions San Antonio Customers Ask First
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.
