Demolition services
Sunshine State Junk Removal takes down whole houses in Broward County, including the haul-off and site cleanup afterward. Whole-house demolition generally requires a demolition permit and utility disconnections arranged by the property owner or their contractor, so check with your city's building department first. Book a walkthrough or text photos to (954) 247-1399 to start a quote.
How it works
Step 1
We walk the property with you to see the house, the lot, access and what stays.
Step 2
You get a quote and a clear list of what has to be done on your side first: permit, utility disconnects and any asbestos requirements.
Step 3
Once your side is done, the house comes down within the agreed scope.
Step 4
Debris is hauled away, with clean concrete kept separate where possible.
Step 5
The lot is cleared and cleaned up to the agreed condition.
Pricing:every demolition job is quoted on its own scope. Text photos of the area (or book a walkthrough) and we'll send a quote.
In general, whole-house demolition can't start the day you decide to do it. A few things usually have to be in place first, and they're the property owner's or their contractor's responsibility:
Sunshine State Junk Removal doesn't pull permits, disconnect utilities or do asbestos surveys. When we quote a house, we'll give you a clear list of what has to be done on your side before demolition day, so the schedule doesn't stall.
They can. According to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the federal Asbestos NESHAP (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M) sets work practices for demolitions and renovations of structures and buildings, excluding buildings that meet the residential exemption criteria in the NESHAP. Florida DEP administers the program under Chapter 62-257, Florida Administrative Code.
For buildings subject to the NESHAP, the regulations require the owner of the building and/or the operator to notify the applicable compliance office before any demolition or renovation. DEP's page says notice must be submitted at least 10 working days before the project start date, using DEP Form 62-257.900(1). Notices go to the appropriate district or local program compliance office, and Broward County is listed as a local program.
Whether your house is covered depends on the building and the project, so read the DEP page and contact the compliance office it lists before scheduling demolition. We don't accept or haul asbestos.
Every house demolition starts with a walkthrough, because photos can't show everything that matters on a job this size.
During the walkthrough, we look at access for loading, what is close to the house, and where clean concrete can be kept separate from mixed debris. You get a quote with the scope spelled out, including what is staying on the lot and what condition the site will be left in when the job is done.
Dumpster sizes
A house produces a large volume of mixed framing, drywall, roofing and fixtures, which suits the 21 or 24 yard trailer. Slabs and block are heavy; each rental includes 1 ton and $120 per ton over that, so concrete is best handled as separate clean fill.
