in Altamonte Springs, FL
A lot of Altamonte Springs was built in the 70s and 80s, so we see plenty of aging pools, cracked driveways, and older slabs that need to come out. We break it, haul it, and grade it clean for whatever comes next.
Altamonte is close enough that we keep response times short and estimates fast. Response in Altamonte Springs is usually same-day or next-day.

Working in Altamonte Springs
Altamonte Springs homes are reaching their 40s
Altamonte Springs has some of the oldest housing in our Seminole County area. The Census puts the median year built at 1983, meaning about half the homes went up before then. That age shows in the calls we get from Spring Oaks, Sanlando Springs, Spring Lake Hills and Bear Lake: original pools at the end of their life, driveways cracked by decades of roots and settling, and old slabs that have to come out before a remodel or addition. The city also has a lot of lakefront, where retaining walls and boat ramps need a separate Waterfront Improvement Permit through Public Works. Altamonte is close to our Apopka yard, which keeps estimates quick and the drive short for our trucks.
How permits and trees work in Altamonte
Permits run through the City of Altamonte Springs Building and Fire Safety Department at 225 Newburyport Ave, 407-571-8433. A demolition permit needs three site plans, demolition plans and a copy of the contract, with a fee based on job value and a $50 minimum. Before demolition, there is a utility cap-off inspection covering sewer, gas, water, fire lines, electric and freon, plus an on-site preconstruction meeting with Code Compliance at least 48 hours ahead. Altamonte is strict on trees: any tree needs an arbor permit, issued only when it is dead, dying or threatening the property, and removing one without it can cost $450 a tree plus replacements. Debris goes to the Seminole County Landfill in Geneva.

“We hired Mintel Land Management to demo a house and the job was completed on time and everything was done correctly, inspectors were glad to have a good contractor on the job.”
“I have used this company over a dozen times with the removal of trees and stumps in my yard. The owner has become more of a friend then just a demolition company.”
“Reliable and dependable. Straightforward pricing does great work. Will definitely use again.”
“We contacted Kyle in hopes that he would be able to remove a very large pine stump from our back yard and grade the area after removal. He was above and beyond helpful and even cleared the vacant property lines on both sides of our property! He was very professional and respectful of our property, he was on time and his prices were very reasonable for the work performed. We will definitely be using his services in the future for our driveway widening project and any other future projects. 6 stars, I highly recommend using Mintel Land Management.”
“Excellent experience from start to finish. Fast, professional, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend and use again.”
