Questions

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on demolition, debris, permits, and site work across the Treasure Valley.

Do you haul away the debris?

Yes. Every demolition and earthwork job includes sorting, loading, and hauling debris off-site — we leave you a clean, level lot, not a pile to deal with.

Can you remove in-ground pools?

Yes. We demolish in-ground concrete, gunite, vinyl-liner, and fiberglass pools, plus above-ground pools, and we backfill and compact the area afterward. Partial and full removal options are available.

Do you handle permits?

We coordinate the demolition permits your city or county requires before work begins, and we help with utility disconnects on structure tear-downs.

Do you work on rural acreage and tight residential lots?

Both. Our crew and equipment are set up for open rural lots and for careful, selective demolition on tight residential sites where access and neighbors matter.

How far do you travel?

We serve the Treasure Valley — Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Kuna, Star, Garden City, Middleton, Emmett, Mountain Home, Payette. Ask us about projects just outside that area.

Is a quote really free?

Yes. We come look at the structure and the lot, then give you a straight, written price with no pressure and no obligation.

Does the foundation come out too, or just the structure?

That's your call, and it changes the scope and the price. We can take a building down and leave the slab and footings in place, or break out the foundation, backfill the hole, and grade it over. Tell us what the ground needs to do next and we'll quote the tier that fits.

What condition is the property left in when you're done?

Debris hauled off and the footprint rough-graded — a clean, level site rather than an open hole or a pile. If you need a compacted, build-ready pad to a builder's elevations, that's site prep and we do that too; say so up front so it's in the scope.

Do you grade the lot after demolition?

Yes. Rough grading of the footprint is part of a demolition job. Full grading to plan elevations — driveway base, building pad, drainage fall — is separate work we also handle, usually in the same mobilization so you're not paying to bring equipment back.

Who takes care of the utility disconnects?

We coordinate them. Power, gas, water, and sewer or septic all have to be dealt with before a structure comes down, and Idaho law requires an 811 locate before digging. We sequence those with the utilities and the jurisdiction so nothing is live when the machines arrive.

How soon can you start, and how long does a job take?

The teardown itself is often the fastest part — permit issuance and utility disconnect scheduling usually set the start date. Size, access, and what's below grade drive the rest. We give you a realistic window with the written quote instead of a number we can't hold.

What do you need from me to give an accurate price?

The property address, what's coming down and roughly how big it is, how a machine can reach it, which utilities are connected, whether the foundation should go, and what you want the ground to look like afterward. A few photos help. None of it is required to start the conversation.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We operate as Iron Crest Earthworks, a division of Iron Crest Remodeling Group LLC, registered in Idaho as Idaho RCE-6681702, and we carry liability and workers' compensation coverage.
