Toronto Light Demolition

Precision Demolition for Your Toronto Home

Tools, however, do not equal professionalism, and there can be hidden hazards when attempt to do demolition work in and around your home. Before starting a project to gut a room, it is important to understand the basics of homebuilding because, to the layman, a wall is just a wall. A Sawzall can cut like a hot knife through butter, and once the wall comes down, it is too late to find out it is loadbearing, and now you've put the structure at risk of collapse and may have added about ten-thousand dollars to your project. 

Furthermore, hidden behind the walls are air conditioning ducts, plumbing lines, entertainment system cables, and electric wires. The simple act of hammering through the sheetrock into the electricity can become quite shocking and potentially dangerous. At Luke's Landscaping, with our years of knowledge and the use of cutting-edge technology, we take the risk out of damaging the unseen items. 

Transform Your Space with Residential Demolition

Let's face it; the demolition process is a messy one. Hammering concrete floors, chiseling old flooring tile, and pulling down ceilings can create large amounts of dust, requiring proper personal protection equipment that most homeowners are unaware of. This can lead to irritated eyes and skin and put you at the risk of breathing in items that can cause respiratory issues. For older homes, it takes the trained eye of a professional to detect things like lead paint and asbestos.

The brochures at the local home improvement centers make removing items like kitchen cabinets or flooring seem easy. Without proper training and tools, it is easy to damage the kitchen walls or subfloor and require a professional to fix them. Using Luke's Landscaping for these demolition items ensures that the installation process comes with no surprises. 

Taking down an outdoor structure like a shed or a small building is not as simple as it may seem. Those TV shows love to promote homeowners swinging a sledgehammer wildly at old, rusted structures without worrying about the results. Why should they? The shed or carport is being demolished. Well, there is a science behind taking these structures down, and without that knowledge, a few good strikes at the bottom can lead to things coming down from the top. Throw in the added cleanup time when demolition is not controlled, making using a professional even more enticing.

One of the larger demolition projects comes in the form of removing an inground swimming pool. The equipment needed for this job is not likely available to homeowners as certain licenses and insurance is requited. Jumping in the cabin of an excavator is not something to be taken lightly.
