• Provide a detailed proposal listing “Residential Demolition Toronto,” “Interior Strip-Out GTA,” “Asbestos Abatement Toronto,” etc.

2. Permitting & Pre-Demolition Prep

• Secure all necessary demolition permits (City of Toronto, Region of Peel).

• Disconnect utilities: coordinate with Hydro One, Enbridge Gas, Canada Post for temporary cut-offs and safety checks.

3. Hazardous Material Abatement

• If asbestos or lead paint is present, our certified technicians remove it safely per Ontario guidelines.

• We provide air monitoring to verify safe levels before general demolition begins.

4. Demolition & Debris Removal

• Load debris into roll-off dumpsters, sort materials for recycling (concrete, metal, wood), and transport to licensed recycling facilities.

5. Site Grading & Final Prep

• Backfill low areas with clean fill, compact to prevent future settling.

• Grade site to required elevation and slope for drainage or foundation installation.

• Final sweep to remove nails, metal scraps and ensure a clean, build-ready surface.

6. Project Sign-Off & Documentation

• Offer recommendations for next steps: foundation pour, site stabilization, or landscaping.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a residential demolition take?

Generally 1–3 days for a single-family home, depending on size, hazardous materials, and site access. Full debris removal and cleanup may add 1–2 additional days.

Do I need to disconnect utilities before demolition?
Yes. You must have hydro, water and gas services safely disconnected by licensed providers. Valencia LCD coordinates with utility companies to schedule shut-offs.
What happens to the demolished materials?
We sort and recycle concrete, metal, wood and brick in certified recycling centers. Fees for disposal are included in our quote, and recycled credits may offset costs.
Is there a permit required for demolition in Toronto?
All structural demolitions require a Demolition Permit from the City of Toronto or local municipality (Mississauga, Brampton). Valencia LCD handles the application, inspections, and final sign-off.
