Demolition contractor in Oshawa

Oshawa has the oldest housing stock in Durham: worker houses from the auto-plant decades, 1920s to 1950s, packed into the streets south of King Street and around the downtown. A lot of it is being renovated hard, converted to multi-unit, or torn down for infill. All three start with us.

Oshawa in detail

Oshawa, on the ground.

Older houses mean plaster, lath, knob-and-tube behind the walls and a real chance of asbestos, so a gut-out in south Oshawa is a different job from one in a 2005 house in the north end. We price the two differently on purpose.

Questions from Oshawa

Yes. The whole interior comes back to studs, and we keep the structure and any stair the engineer needs. Plaster and lath fill bins fast; the site walk sets a real bin count.

Yes. A single house or a pair coming down for a new build. The City of Oshawa issues the permit; we file it and book the disconnects.

In pre-1990 houses it is possible, and the survey is required before demolition. In the newer north-end subdivisions it is rarely a factor.
