Demolition and Removal

Demolition and removal of building materials is a large industry with many different angles. We specialize in the eco-conscious and environmentally sustainable strategy of recycling and salvaging materials to save our clients money, and keep work sites clean and safe.


Our services go far beyond wrecking balls and bucket loaders. We pride ourselves on our reputation for successfully turning old, run-down buildings into salvaged materials that can be reused in future projects, or recycled into valuable raw materials.

When people think of demolition, they often have a misconception of what really needs to happen. There are codes and laws - state, federal and local - that must be adhered to in the process, and it takes professional knowledge, training and equipment to do the job right. We have the resources and skills to do the job right!

Demolition and removal of materials for salvage are environmentally friendly choices, as well as better for your bottom line. Many people automatically think that "green" or "eco-friendly" translates into more expensive. Not so. Because there are so many valuable materials in old buildings, salvaging and recycling them can deduct costs from your bill. Think of all the components that go into every building - lumber, stone, metals, plumbing, and brick. Most of these materials can be salvaged or recycled and there are people willing to pay good money for them. Plus, it is an earth-friendly choice that benefits everyone.

Some people with a property or building to be removed just want it to disappear and do not really put much thought into what happens to all the base materials. Most building owners – as well as those who live in the surrounding community – simply want an eyesore to go away. TAMCO Construction can remove an old structure cleanly and completely, and remove valuable materials for re-use in the marketplace.

Demolition and removal, if planned, assessed and analyzed properly, can actually save you money through recycling and salvaging. The thinking today is “Why landfill perfectly good, reusable material?” We agree.

People in this industry who are not conscious of the environment will simply tear down a building, scoop the rubble and materials into large-scale dumping receptacles and haul it off to a landfill where it will take up space and add to the pollution our planet is facing. This decision is often more expensive than choosing a responsible company to disassemble a structure piece by piece and separate it into useful materials that can be salvaged or recycled. The amount of waste is diminished immensely, and the client will actually save money at the end of the day.

Demolition and removal, done right, makes good business sense!
