Detroit and Southeastern Michigan's Trusted Demolition Contractor for Over 20 Years
When a building needs to come down, you don’t want someone learning on the job. You want a crew that’s done this a hundred times before and knows exactly what they’re walking into.
That’s us. That’s what we do at JS Wrecking Co.
We’re a demolition contractor based right here in Detroit and Southeastern Michigan, and honestly, there’s nowhere else we’d rather work. This city has grit. It has history. And yeah, it has a lot of structures that have seen better days. We’ve torn down old houses in Brightmoor that were beyond saving. We’ve gutted commercial spaces in Corktown so new businesses could move in. Last spring, we helped a family in Rosedale Park finally clear out a garage that had been falling apart for years. They’d been putting it off forever because they didn’t know where to start. We showed up, handled everything, and they couldn’t believe how fast it went.
That’s the thing about demolition services. Most people think it’s just swinging sledgehammers and making a mess. But there’s actually a lot more to it. You’ve got permits, safety concerns, debris removal, and making sure the demolition project doesn’t turn into a nightmare for the neighbors. When you hire us, you’re not just getting muscle. You’re getting a professional team that thinks through the whole process so you don’t have to stress about it.
Whether it’s a house demo, a commercial demolition, or stripping out an interior for a renovation, we make the problem go away. Simple as that.
House Demolition Done Right
Tearing down a house isn’t something you do on a whim. Maybe the structure is too far gone to save. Maybe you inherited a property and the repairs would cost more than it’s worth. Or maybe you’re ready to start new construction and that old place is just sitting there, in the way.
Whatever the reason, we handle it. Full residential demolition across Detroit and Southeastern Michigan, from small bungalows to larger two story homes. We’ve worked in neighborhoods like Warrendale, Grandmont, and even some of the tighter lots over in Hamtramck where you really gotta be careful with the equipment. Every project is different and we treat it that way.
Before we knock anything down, we walk the site. We check for asbestos, look at what utilities need disconnecting, and figure out the best way to bring it down without causing problems for you or your neighbors. We haul everything away and focus on recycling materials when possible. You’re left with a clean, level lot ready for whatever comes next.
Commercial Building Demolition
Commercial jobs are a whole different animal. Bigger structures, more regulations, tighter timelines. We get it. Business owners and developers don’t have time to babysit demolition contractors. They need someone who shows up, handles the permits, and gets the building down without dragging things out.
We’ve demoed old retail spaces, warehouses, and industrial buildings around the Detroit and Southeastern Michigan metro area. Some of these demolition projects require selective demolition where we take down part of a structure but leave the rest standing. Others are full teardowns right to the foundation. Either way, we’ve got the equipment and the experience to do it safely. When deconstruction makes more sense than a full teardown, we can handle that approach too.
Interior Demolition for Renovations
Not every job means bringing down the whole building. Sometimes you just need to gut the inside and start fresh. That’s where interior demolition comes in.
We strip out walls, drywall, flooring, ceilings, fixtures, pretty much anything that needs removal before your renovation can begin. A lot of our interior demo work happens in older Detroit and Southeastern Michigan homes and commercial spaces where owners want to modernize without losing the bones of the original structure. It’s detailed work. You can’t just swing wild and hope for the best. We protect what stays and remove what goes, clean and simple. Our services cover everything from small bathroom guts to full floor strip outs.
