We selected Bay Demo to demolition our in-ground swimming pool (20 x 40 feet) based on their good work doing the same for a neighbor. … They did a great job -- very meticulous in their use of tarps and padding. There was ZERO damage to our driveway and remaining deck.
The job went very smoothly; the workers really know what to do. … The price was very fair. I should add that Mateus was easy to work with!

Why Bay Demo

Removing concrete is the easy part. Protecting everything around it is the job.

Concrete removal looks simple until it is time to protect what sits next to it and below it.

  1. Without the right crew

    The slab next to it cracks too

    Breaking out a driveway section or patio can damage the concrete you wanted to keep.

    With Bay Demo

    Clean saw-cut edges

    We saw cut a straight, clean line where new and old concrete meet, so the part that stays is not damaged.

  2. Without the right crew

    Sprinkler lines and fences get torn up

    Irrigation below the slab and the neighbor's fence beside it are easy to hit.

    With Bay Demo

    The right equipment for the space

    Irrigation, utilities and adjacent surfaces protected, and the concrete broken with jackhammers, breakers or excavators as the space allows.

  3. Without the right crew

    Driveway permits catch people off guard

    Driveways that touch the sidewalk or public right of way often need a permit.

    With Bay Demo

    We check with your city

    We find out what your city requires and handle the permit when it is needed.

  4. Without the right crew

    The next installer has to redo the base

    When the concrete is gone, the ground underneath still has to be ready for the new surface.

    With Bay Demo

    A base ready for what comes next

    We grade and compact the base so your paver, turf or new concrete installer can start right away. We can also install it ourselves.

Concrete Demolition

Clean, controlled concrete removal

Removing concrete looks simple until it is time to protect the slab next to it, the sprinkler lines below it and the neighbor's fence beside it. We saw cut clean lines, break the concrete with the right equipment for the space and haul it out without tearing up the rest of the property.

Most of what we remove is recycled. When the concrete is gone, we grade and compact the base so your paver, turf or new concrete installer can start right away. If you want, we can also install the new pavers or concrete.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does concrete removal cost in the Bay Area?

Concrete removal is usually priced by area, thickness, reinforcement and access. A small patio costs far less than a thick, reinforced driveway with tight access. We visit and give you a free, written quote.

Do I need a permit to remove concrete?

Flatwork like a patio usually does not need a permit, but driveways that touch the sidewalk or public right of way often do. We check with your city and handle it if required.

What happens to the concrete you remove?

Whenever possible it goes to a licensed recycling facility, where it is crushed and reused as base material.

Can you remove part of a driveway and keep the rest?

Yes. We saw cut a straight, clean line so the part that stays is not damaged.

Do you install pavers or new concrete after removal?

Yes. We install interlocking pavers and new concrete driveways and patios, and we prepare the base ourselves so the new surface lasts.

Old concrete you want gone?
