Why we're one of the best concrete demolition companies in Tempe

  • Clean saw-cuts for partial removals — no jagged edges, no cracked adjacent slabs.
  • Proper equipment (hydraulic breakers, mini-ex, skid steers) so we move fast without damaging the site.
  • Haul-off included on every quote — broken concrete is recycled where possible.
  • Tight site protection: dust control, traffic plans, neighbor coordination.
  • We can demo and re-pour in a single mobilization when scope allows.

Affordable concrete demolition options near you

Demo pricing is mostly about access, thickness, and rebar density — not square footage alone. We'll walk the site, give you a fair number, and tell you if it makes more sense to demo just part of the slab vs the whole thing. Same-mobilization demo + pour saves another truck day.

How much does concrete demolition cost?

Typical range: Standard concrete demo runs $4–$10 per sq ft including saw-cut, break-out, and haul-off. Heavy structural slabs and rebar-dense footings run higher.

Final price depends on:

  • Slab thickness and rebar density
  • Site access for equipment and trucks
  • Saw-cut linear footage (partial removals)
  • Disposal distance and tipping fees
  • Dust control and protection requirements
  • Whether re-pour is included in same trip
  • Permit/encroachment requirements
  • Hours of work allowed (commercial zones)

What to look for when hiring

  • Confirm haul-off is included in the quote — not extra.
  • Ask about dust control and adjacent slab protection.
  • Confirm saw-cut depth and edge quality for partial removals.
  • Make sure they're licensed and insured for demolition scope.
  • Ask if they can demo + re-pour in one mobilization.
  • Confirm disposal site / recycling for the broken concrete.
