Demolition Contractor in Ann Arbor, MI
Sometimes the best way to build something new is to tear down what’s already there. And if you’ve got a structure that’s seen better days, well, you already know exactly what we mean.
We’re JS Wrecking Co, and we’ve been handling demolition projects for folks all across Ann Arbor and the surrounding areas. Just last month, we helped a family over near Briarwood Mall take down an old detached garage that had basically become a safety hazard. The thing was leaning so bad their neighbor joked it was “practicing yoga.” They’d been putting off the project for two years because, honestly, who wants to deal with all that? The cost of waiting was adding up, and they knew a renovation wasn’t going to cut it anymore. But once we got out there, had it down and hauled away in a day and a half. Clean site, no headaches.
That’s really what we do here. We take the stress out of demolition so you can actually move forward with whatever comes next, whether that’s new construction or just clearing the land.
Whether you’re a homeowner looking to clear out an old shed, gut the inside of your place for a remodel, or you’re a contractor needing a full commercial building brought down on schedule, we handle it. Our crew has over 20 years of experience running heavy equipment and managing demo sites the right way. Safe, efficient, and we leave the site clean when we’re done.
Because at the end of the day, you shouldn’t have to worry about the wrecking part. That’s on us.
What We Bring to Every Demolition Job in Ann Arbor
Most people think demolition is pretty straightforward. Knock it down, haul it off, done. But there’s actually a lot happening behind the scenes that you don’t always see. We’re pulling permits, coordinating with the city, sorting out what materials can go to recycling versus what needs proper disposal. And we’re doing all of this while making sure we don’t accidentally take out a wall that was supposed to stay put. It’s more moving pieces than people expect.
After providing demolition services around Ann Arbor for over twenty years, not much surprises us anymore. Weird foundation issues, asbestos concerns, neighbors with a lot of questions. We’ve dealt with it.
And when it comes to actually working with us? We keep things simple. Our professional crew shows up when we say we will, we tell you what’s going on as the job progresses, and we don’t leave you sitting there wondering if we’re ever coming back. You’ll know what’s happening on your property because we’ll actually talk to you. Seems obvious, but you’d be surprised how many contractors skip that part.
Got an old house that needs to come down? Maybe it’s storm damaged, maybe it’s just past the point of being worth fixing. Either way, we can help. We work with homeowners all over Ann Arbor handling residential demolition, from neighborhoods near Downtown to properties out toward Dixboro. Full structure takedowns, foundation removal, site grading afterward if you need it. We handle the whole thing so the lot is ready for whatever you’ve got planned next.
And yeah, we take care of the permits too. One less thing for you to worry about.
Whether you’re a homeowner clearing the way for new construction or a developer preparing a commercial lot, we bring the same approach to every job. Show up on time, keep the site safe, work clean, and wrap it up without dragging things out. No inflated quotes, no surprises halfway through.
Pool Removal Services
Old pool sitting there unused? We handle pool removal too. Whether it’s a concrete inground pool that’s cracked beyond repair or an above ground setup that’s seen better days, we can tear it out, haul it off, and fill the space so you can reclaim your backyard. It’s one of those services people don’t always think about, but we’ve done plenty of them around Ann Arbor.
Commercial demolition projects are a different animal. Tighter timelines, more coordination, bigger stakes. We get it. Whether you’re clearing a retail space on Washtenaw Avenue or taking down an old warehouse near the industrial parks off State Street, our team knows how to keep things moving without cutting corners on safety.
We’ve worked alongside general contractors, developers, and property managers who needed the job done right and done on schedule. As demolition contractors with real experience, that’s exactly what we deliver.
Why Ann Arbor Trusts JS Wrecking Co
20 Plus Years of Hands On Experience
We’ve been at this a long time. The crew behind JS Wrecking Co has spent over twenty years running excavators, managing demo sites, and clearing land across Washtenaw County. That’s not something you pick up from watching YouTube videos or reading a manual. You learn it by showing up, making a few mistakes early on, and figuring out how to do it better the next time.
All those years add up. We know how to read a site before we even fire up the equipment. We know what’s going to be a headache and what’s going to go smooth. And that’s really the difference between a demolition contractor who gets the job done clean and one who leaves you dealing with problems for weeks after.
Family Owned, Locally Operated
This is a family business, and it’s always been that way. We’re not some big corporate outfit with a call center in another state. We live in this community. Our kids go to school here. When we tell you we care about doing good work, it’s because our name is actually attached to it.
You call JS Wrecking Co, you’re talking to us. Not a random subcontractor we pulled off a list somewhere. We’ve worked with homeowners in Pittsfield Township, knocked down old buildings in Ypsilanti, helped folks out in Saline and Dexter. Honestly, a big chunk of our jobs come from people who heard about us from a neighbor or a friend. That kind of word of mouth doesn’t happen unless you’re doing something right.
We Show Up and We Finish
There’s nothing worse than hiring a contractor who ghosts you halfway through a project. That’s not us. When we commit to a job, we see it through. On time, on budget, no excuses. We keep you in the loop, we answer your calls, and we don’t disappear when things get tricky. It’s basic stuff, really. But apparently not everyone does it.
