Demolition contractor in Ajax

Ajax started as a wartime munitions town, and the original houses south of Highway 2 still show it: small 1940s and 1950s homes on modest lots, many now being torn down or heavily gutted. Everything north of there was built from the 1980s onward and comes to us for basements, kitchens and garages.

Ajax in detail

Ajax, on the ground.

The old houses are the ones that need care. They are the right age for asbestos in tile, plaster and pipe insulation, and the survey comes first. The lots are workable with a compact machine, and a driveway bin fits most of them.

The Town of Ajax issues building and demolition permits; Durham Region is the upper tier. [Kam confirms Ajax timing and bin lead time.]

Questions from Ajax

Yes. A designated-substances survey comes first, then the permit from the Town of Ajax, then the disconnects. The house itself is small and comes down in a day.

All the time. Those houses are drywall and truss, no survey needed, and a basement is back to concrete in two days.

The Town of Ajax. We file it and book the disconnects and Ontario One Call locates.
