House demolition across the Fort Worth area

House demolition is the biggest part of what our crews do here in Burleson, TX. Right now we have 17-18 houses coming down at the same time around the Fort Worth area. Some are old rent houses on a tight city lot in town, and others sit on family acreage. We bring our own excavators, and our roll-off trucks carry the debris off the lot when the house is down.

Texas Best Demolition launched in late 2024, and the experience behind it goes back decades. Owner Monty Cain built and sold Burleson Demolition, and he has run dirt work and dumpster businesses. About 20 people work here now, and we own excavators in every size class. A Bobcat E88 fits a tight lot in town, and a Kobelco 350 handles a big house on acreage.

What a house demolition looks like on your lot

We look at the house first, then the lot size, the driveway and how close the next house sits. That tells us which excavator fits, where the roll-off trucks can back in and what has to move first. Power, gas and water all have to be shut off and disconnected at the meter before we start. We tell you which calls to make, and we build the start date around those shut off dates.

On demolition day the work is mostly the excavator and the roll-off trucks moving back and forth all day. The machine takes the house down in sections, and the operator sorts the wood, brick and metal. Debris goes straight into a dumpster, so nothing sits in a pile on your lot for weeks after. Most single family houses come down in a day, and hauling the load off takes a little longer.

Do you tear down garages and barns too?

Plenty of our house demolition jobs include a detached garage, a shop or an old barn out back. We can also take down just the garage or just the barn and leave the house standing. Old barns bring their own problems: rotted lumber, loose tin roofing and posts set deep in the ground. The excavator pulls the posts, and the tin goes into its own container so the metal load stays clean.

Sheds, decks and carports usually come out with the house when you want the whole lot cleared off. Trees and brush near the structure can go too, since we run dozers and loaders on these jobs. Tell us what you want to keep, like a well house, a fence line or a shade tree. We mark it before the machine starts, and the operator keeps the work well away from it.

Burleson, Fort Worth and the southwest Metroplex

We are based in Burleson, TX, and most of our house demolition work stays in the southwest Metroplex. That covers Burleson, Fort Worth, Arlington, southern Tarrant County and the north side of Johnson County. We do cross the Dallas County line for some jobs, as long as the work fits our truck schedule. Staying close matters, because every dumpster we set has to come back to us and get emptied.

We keep 17-18 house demolition jobs going at the same time, so our calendar moves pretty fast. When you call, we come out and price the job standing right there on the property, at no charge. Once the utilities are off and any survey work is back, we can set a start date. Call (817) 564-4360 and tell us the address, the size of the house and what is out back.

Common questions about residential demolition across Burleson, Fort Worth & the southwest Metroplex. Don't see yours? Give us a call and ask.

Call (817) 564-4360

How much does house demolition cost?
The price comes from the size of the house, the type of foundation and whether an asbestos survey is needed. Haul distance matters, because the debris rides out in our trucks. Utility disconnects, tight access and extra structures like a garage or barn all add time. We price the job at the property, at no charge.
How long does a house teardown take?
Most single family houses come down in a day once the machine is on site. Hauling the debris off can take another day or two, depending on how many loads it makes. The slow part is usually getting the utilities shut off, and the utility companies set that timing, not us. Call early if you have a closing date.
Do you haul the debris away?
Yes. We run three roll-off trucks and about 75 dumpsters, so the debris leaves on our own equipment. You do not have to line up a separate hauler or rent containers on the side. The house, the garage and the brush all go out on the same job, and the lot is left clear.
Do I need an asbestos survey before demolition?
Older houses often need an asbestos survey before the demolition permit goes through. An outside inspector does that work, not us. Tell us the age of the house when you call, and we will point you toward the next step. The survey affects both your schedule and your price.
Can you tear down just a garage or a barn?
Yes. We take down detached garages, shops, barns and outbuildings on their own, with the house left standing. The same excavators and roll-off trucks handle that work. Smaller structures come down quicker, and getting a truck to the back of the lot usually sets the price. Call and give us the size.
