Question 1

How much does it cost to demolish a house in Central Florida?

Accepted Answer

Most residential demolitions in Central Florida run between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on the size of the structure, the foundation type, and how much material needs to be hauled off. Single-story homes on the lower end, two-story or larger structures on the higher end. The best way to get an accurate number is a quick walkthrough — call Kyle at 407-443-2863 and we'll come out for a free estimate.

Question 2

Do you handle the demolition permits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We handle permitting as part of the job so you don't have to chase down the county yourself. Every demolition in Florida requires a permit, and we take care of pulling it, scheduling the utility disconnects, and meeting any county inspection requirements. When we're done, the site is clean and the paperwork is closed out.

Question 3

How long does a house demolition take?

Accepted Answer

Most single-family homes are down, crushed, and hauled off in one to three days once we're on-site. Larger or more complex structures can take a few days more. Permitting and utility disconnect scheduling is the part that takes the most calendar time — that's usually two to four weeks before we can start swinging. Once we start, we move fast.

Question 4

Do you haul away all the debris?

Accepted Answer

Yes, everything goes. We crush the structure, load the material onto our own trucks and trailers, and haul it off. When we leave, the site is cleared down to grade. We own our own equipment, so we're not waiting on rental trucks or third-party haulers to show up.

Question 5

What's the difference between pool fill-in and full pool removal?

Accepted Answer

A fill-in (partial removal) means we break up the top portion of the shell, punch drainage holes in the bottom, and backfill the rest. It's faster and less expensive. A full removal means we excavate the entire pool shell out of the ground, backfill with clean material, and compact it. Full removal is the better long-term option — especially if you want to build over that area or sell the home. We do both, and can walk you through which makes sense for your situation.

Question 6

Do you work on residential and commercial jobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We do residential teardowns, commercial structures, pool removal for homeowners and pool contractors, concrete work for homeowners and contractors, and site prep for builders. We've done everything from single-family homes to beachfront commercial pool removal in Daytona Beach. If it involves demolition, excavation, or grading in Central Florida, call us.

Question 8

How do I get a free estimate?

Accepted Answer

Call Kyle directly at 407-443-2863 or fill out the Request a Bid form on this site. We'll set up a time to walk the property, take measurements, and give you a written number — no obligation, no pressure. We're available Mon–Sat, 7a–8p.

Question 9

What equipment do you use?

Accepted Answer

We own and run our own fleet of excavators, dump trucks, a lowboy trailer, and a skid steer. Everything on your job is our own equipment, operated by Kyle or someone he trusts. We don't subcontract the machine work, and we don't wait on rental availability. When we say we're coming, we show up with everything we need.

Question 10

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mintel Land Management is a licensed LLC with $4M in demolition and excavation insurance and $2M in workers' compensation coverage. Kyle holds a Class A CDL. We meet all Florida state and county requirements. We're happy to provide certificates of insurance before any job starts.
