Demolition Contractor in Ann Arbor with 20+ Years of Hands on Experience
There’s something weirdly satisfying about watching an old building come down. Maybe it sounds strange but after 20 years in this business I still get it. That moment when a structure that’s been sitting there rotting or taking up space finally gives way… it’s like the property can breathe again. And suddenly you can actually see the possibilities for new construction.
That’s what we do at JS Wrecking Co. We clear the way for whatever comes next.
Most people in Ann Arbor don’t think about demolition services until they need them. Then it hits you all at once. Maybe you bought a place near Allmendinger Park with a crumbling detached garage. Or you’re a contractor who just landed a renovation project on Washtenaw Ave and the existing structure needs to go before anything else can happen. Either way you’re standing there thinking okay, now what?
That’s where we come in. House demolition, commercial demolition, excavation, land clearing, even pool removal. If it needs to come down or get out of the way, we handle it. Our professional team has been doing exactly that across Washtenaw County for over two decades now.
What makes us different from other demolition contractors? We’re local. Family owned. The guys running equipment on your property aren’t strangers passing through. We grew up here. We know Ann Arbor. And when we quote you a cost, that’s the cost. No weird charges showing up later.
Sometimes the hardest part is just making the call. So if you’ve got a demolition project sitting in the back of your mind, let’s talk about it.
Tearing things down is what we know best. Whether it’s residential demolition, a commercial building, or just gutting the inside of a space, we’ve done it hundreds of times across Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County. Our demolition services cover pretty much anything you might need removed.
House Demolition
Old farmhouse falling apart? Outdated ranch that’s not worth saving? We bring it down safely and haul everything away. When deconstruction makes sense, we can salvage materials for recycling too. Your lot ends up clean and ready for new construction.
Commercial Building Demolition
Bigger structures need more planning and heavier equipment. We handle warehouses, retail spaces, office buildings… whatever needs to come down for your next development. Our commercial demolition projects always prioritize safety and efficiency.
Interior Demolition
Sometimes the bones are good but the inside needs to go. We handle selective demolition work, stripping out walls, drywall, flooring, fixtures, and leave you with a blank canvas for your renovation. Selective removal keeps what you want and gets rid of what you don’t.
When the demo work wraps up, the real shaping begins. We dig, we move dirt, we get your site ready for whatever construction comes next. Pretty straightforward really.
Excavation Services
Need a basement dug out or utilities trenched? We bring the right equipment and get it done without tearing up more of your yard than necessary. Professional excavation sets up your whole project for success.
Site Clearing
Before any build can start, the land needs to be clean. We handle removal of debris, old concrete, vegetation… everything that’s in the way of your project moving forward.
Grading and Leveling
Water drainage problems? Uneven ground messing with your plans? We regrade your property so everything slopes the right direction and sits where it should for proper construction.
Got a wooded lot or overgrown property? We turn tangled messes into usable land. Doesn’t matter if it’s a small residential lot or bigger acreage out past Dexter.
Lot Clearing
We handle removal of trees, brush, stumps… all of it. When we’re done you’ve got a clean slate ready for construction, landscaping, or whatever you have planned.
Clearing and Grubbing
This goes deeper than just surface stuff. We pull out root systems and organic material so your soil is actually stable enough to build on properly. Good site prep prevents headaches down the road.
Site Preparation
The final step before construction begins. We get your land graded, compacted, and prepped so contractors can come in and start work without any delays on their demolition projects or builds.
Why Ann Arbor Trusts JS Wrecking Co
Picking demolition contractors isn’t something most people do often. So when the time comes, you want someone who actually knows what they’re doing and won’t disappear when problems pop up. That’s us.
20 Years of Local Experience
We’ve been working demolition projects around Washtenaw County since before half these new developments even existed. From tight residential demolition jobs in Burns Park to larger commercial demolition near Briarwood, we’ve seen it all. That experience shows up in how we plan jobs, handle surprises, and keep things moving on schedule.
Family Owned and Operated
This isn’t some side gig for us. JS Wrecking Co is our family business and our name is attached to every demolition project we do. When you call, you’re talking to people who actually care how things turn out. We live in this community and our reputation here matters more than any single project.
Fair and Honest Pricing
Nobody likes getting a cost estimate that doubles by the end of the job. We don’t operate that way. When we give you a number, that’s the number. We walk the site, figure out what’s actually involved, and tell you straight up what it’s gonna cost. No hidden fees showing up on the final invoice.
Safety and Licensing
Demo work comes with real risks. We prioritize safety on every job and carry proper insurance and licensing so you’re protected if anything unexpected happens. It’s just how we do business. We also handle recycling of materials when possible to keep costs down and reduce waste.
