Owned
Serving Orlando & Orange County
Orlando is our busiest market — a mix of infill teardowns in the older neighborhoods, pool removals in established subdivisions, and concrete and site work for contractors. Tight lots and close neighbors are the norm here, which is exactly the kind of careful demolition we do best.
We handle grading & build-ready pads throughout Orlando — including College Park, Conway, Pine Hills, Azalea Park — and across the rest of Orange County.
Local rules · Orange County
What to know before you build or tear down in Orlando
Every city runs its permits a little differently. Here is how Orlando does it, pulled from the city and county’s own published rules. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections for you.

Where the debris goes
Only in Orlando
- Orlando has six historic districts and close to 50 landmarks. Tearing down a building in one of them needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board before any permit is issued, and that review still applies after the August 2026 downtown moratorium.
- Because the utility sign-offs can take four weeks, we start that paperwork the day you sign so the machines are not waiting on it.
Rules and fees checked against official sources in October 2026. Cities change them, so we confirm with City of Orlando Permitting Services before every job.

“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.”
“Kyle came and pulled a few fallen trees out at my property and graded out another part. He came when he said he was going to as well.”
