WHO WE ARE
About Demolition INC
Demolition INC is a demolition contractor in Middle Tennessee based in Columbia. We tear down houses, remove concrete, strip building interiors and clear job sites for homeowners, business owners and contractors in Columbia, Brentwood, Franklin, Nashville and nearby towns.
Most demolition delays have little to do with the machines. They come from a missing permit, a live utility or a crew that arrives without a plan. We work through those details before the excavator moves, so your project stays on schedule.
Demolition INC founded by Chris Toupin in 2020, and our team brings 10 years of hands-on demolition experience to every job.

Frequently Asked Questions
CLEAR ANSWERS BEFORE
CLEAR ANSWERS BEFORE
WORK BEGINS ON SITE.
Planning a demolition project often brings questions regarding permits, safety protocols, and cleanup timelines. Here is what you need to know.
Yes, nearly every city and county in Middle Tennessee requires a demolition permit before work begins. Your contractor should handle the application, utility disconnect verification, and any required state asbestos notification on your behalf.
Pricing varies widely based on structure size, material, and site access. Most contractors provide a fixed quote covering tear-down, hauling, and disposal. For a typical single-family home, regional estimates often range from roughly $13,000 to $26,000, though commercial projects differ significantly.
Demolition must pause until a certified abatement crew removes the material. Tennessee regulations require asbestos-containing materials to be stripped out before any wrecking activity disturbs them. Choose a Middle Tennessee demolition contractor who coordinates this step directly.
The physical tear-down usually takes one to three days, but the full timeline includes permitting, utility disconnects, and asbestos clearance. Expect several weeks of preparation before the excavator arrives. After inspecting the property, your contractor should provide a realistic schedule. See our full demolition timeline breakdown for each phase.
Yes, but coordinate with your contractor first for safety and liability reasons. Some companies offer selective interior demolition to preserve fixtures, hardwood, or architectural details for reuse. Salvage must happen before structural takedown begins to avoid hazards.
Selective demolition removes specific parts of a structure while preserving the rest, often for renovations. Full tear-down clears the entire building and foundation. In Middle Tennessee, selective work is common for commercial remodels, while residential teardowns usually mean complete removal to bare ground.
