How do I choose a demolition contractor?

It pays to shop around so do your research before choosing a demolition contractor. Do some research, read online reviews, ask your friends and neighbours, and don’t forget to get at least 3 comparative quotes.

PRO TIP: Your demolition company should also have a solid plan in place for dealing with the resulting dirt and dust of demolishing your old home so that your neighbours are not inconvenienced too much. You can also let your neighbours know of the date of the demolition so that they can prepare by closing their windows and taking in laundry etc.
