Demolition Contractor Sacramento Trusts Most
Bad demolition projects usually start the same way, subcontractors you’ve never met, delayed equipment, poor communication, and debris left behind. That’s why Empire Demolition and Hauling do things differently. For more than 30 years, our own crews have completed demolition, excavation, grading, and site preparation using company-owned equipment from start to finish. No subcontractors. No finger-pointing. Just one accountable team.
Across Sacramento and the wider Sacramento Valley, we work with residential homeowners, general contractors, developers, commercial property owners, and industrial clients. Whatever the structure, whatever the scope, we get it done. Call or reach out today to talk through what you’ve got.

Demolition Services in Sacramento
Demolition is the core of what we do. Residential, commercial, industrial, across Sacramento County and out into the surrounding region. Projects vary wildly, but the standard doesn’t: controlled execution, proper debris removal, and a site that’s genuinely ready for whatever comes next.
Residential demolition
Older Sacramento neighborhoods like Land Park, Midtown, East Sacramento, and Oak Park generate constant demolition and remodel work. We regularly perform house demolition, interior demolition, pool removal, and complete site cleanouts while protecting surrounding structures and landscaping
commercial demolition
For commercial clients, minimal disruption and clean debris handling aren’t optional, they’re the baseline. Full commercial building teardowns, selective demo where only part of a structure comes down, interior demo for retail buildouts, office renovations, and mixed use projects across the Sacramento metro. That’s the range we work in.
Commercial building demolition, selective demolition, and structural demo for properties of any size, that’s what we bring to the table.
Industrial Demolition
Large scale structural teardowns and heavy concrete breaking aren’t jobs you hand to a crew that rents equipment by the week. Sacramento Valley industrial facilities need a contractor with the iron on hand and the experience to manage scope safely. That’s us. Industrial demolition, structural demolition, and concrete breaking for facilities across the region, handled in house from start to finish.

Excavation and Site Preparation in Sacramento
Most demo jobs don’t wrap up at teardown. The ground underneath needs real attention before anything new goes up, and coordinating a separate excavation contractor on top of a demo contractor is a headache nobody needs. So we run both.
Excavation Services
Foundation digs, trenching, pond excavation across Sacramento County and into the valley. The Sacramento Valley has its own soil personality: heavy clay through the older neighborhoods, expansive adobe soils in the flatlands, alluvial ground near the American and Sacramento rivers. Every bid and every dig accounts for those conditions, not just the square footage.
Site Clearing
Before construction starts, the parcel has to come clear. We strip overgrowth, old debris, and leftover structures so the lot is open, stable, and genuinely ready for the next phase.
Grading
Rough grading through finish grading, handled in house. We bring the lot level, stable, and build ready so your foundation crew walks onto a site that’s done right.
Land Clearing Services Across the Sacramento Region
Overgrown lots don’t just look bad. They slow everything down and create real problems once site work starts. Wooded parcels, properties thick with stumps and old debris, lots that haven’t been touched in years, we handle the clearing so the real work can actually begin.
Land Clearing
Overgrown lots slow everything down. We clear brush, vegetation, stumps, and old debris so wooded or neglected parcels across the Sacramento region are open and ready for site work.
Tree Removal
Trees and stumps left in place cause problems at every stage that follows. We handle removal and stump grinding as part of clearing, plus forestry mulching on larger parcels
Concrete Services in Sacramento
Concrete work runs through almost every demo and site prep job we take on. Concrete removal, curb and gutter repair, handicap ramp installation, concrete to asphalt conversion for residential and commercial properties. Flatwork, crack repair, full removal and replacement, all of it stays in house. You won’t see us calling in outside help for the concrete phase.
Concrete Removal
Driveways, slabs, foundations, flatwork. We break it out and haul it off with our own equipment, leaving the area clean and ready for whatever replacement or new pour comes next.
Curb and Gutter Repair
Broken or failing curb and gutter gets cut out and replaced clean. We handle residential and commercial repairs across Sacramento, matching grade and drainage so water runs where it should.
Handicap Ramp Installation
ADA compliant ramp installation for commercial and public properties. We pour ramps that meet code on slope, width, and surface, keeping your site accessible and inspection ready.
Frequently Asked Questions About Demolition in Sacramento
How much does demolition cost in Sacramento?
Pricing depends on structure size, materials involved, site access, and how much debris needs hauling out. Rather than quoting numbers that don’t apply to your actual job, we walk the site and give you a straight estimate before any work starts. Call (916) 579-2533 to set up a free on site quote.
Do I need a permit for demolition in Sacramento?
Most structural demo in Sacramento requires permits through the city or county. The process varies depending on your specific project, and we know it well. We’ll walk you through what’s needed before work begins so there aren’t any surprises.
Does Empire Demolition handle cleanup and debris hauling?
Yes, always. Debris removal and site cleanup aren’t extras, they’re part of how we work. Materials get hauled off, the site gets left clean, and the lot is ready for whatever phase comes next. No separate hauling contractor needed.
How far does Empire Demolition travel for jobs?
Based in Sacramento, we cover the full metro area including Roseville, Elk Grove, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Davis, and West Sacramento. Work across the broader Sacramento Valley and into portions of the Bay Area is also on the table.
Can Empire handle both demo and excavation on the same project?
Absolutely. Demolition, excavation, grading, land clearing, and hauling all run through the same crew with the same equipment. Hand us a standing structure and you get back a cleared, graded lot without juggling multiple contractors to get there.
What types of structures does the Empire demolish?
Residential homes, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, pools, interior spaces, full structural teardowns. If it needs to come down somewhere in Sacramento or the surrounding region, there’s a good chance we’ve already done something like it.
