A MESSAGE FROM MISSOURI'S #1 SPRINGFIELD BARN DEMOLITION TEAM:
Springfield, MO property manager,
We take down barns, outbuildings and old farm structures, and we haul the debris away when we are done. That includes the permitting, the site prep and the foundations or slabs if you want those out too. We work across Springfield and the towns around it.
The building has gone past the point of repair, and now it is a liability sitting on your property. Maybe the roof is going, maybe it is not safe to walk into, maybe you need the ground for something else. What you want is it gone, cleanly, without damage to whatever is standing next to it. You want somebody who turns up, tells you straight what it needs, and does it properly the first time. The typical Springfield property dates to around 1976, so the building stock here is mostly seventies and eighties. With roughly 83 freeze-thaw days a year, anything that traps water moves and cracks.
Somebody comes out, looks at the actual condition, and measures what is there. No quoting off a photo.
You see what the work covers and what it does not, so you can hold any quote next to it and compare like for like.
If it does not need doing yet, we will tell you that. If it needs more than you were hoping, we will tell you that too.
You might know this as barn removal. Same work, either name. Everything below is work we handle directly, not passed to a third party.
Construction type identified and suspect materials tested. Asbestos siding and roofing and lead paint are common in older agricultural buildings and must be established before pricing.
Demolition permit pulled and any electrical, water or gas service to the building properly disconnected. Overhead service drops need the utility involved.
Timber frame, siding, beams, and fixtures evaluated for reclamation value. This is worth doing before demolition, because it can materially change the economics.
Licensed removal and disposal of asbestos-containing materials before general demolition. This is regulated work with its own documentation trail.
Mechanical demolition, with materials separated for recycling where practical. Metal roofing and structural steel usually have scrap value that offsets disposal.
Slab, foundation walls and buried footings removed if specified, then the site backfilled and graded. Leaving the foundation in place is cheaper but constrains future use.
A cross-section of the jobs we handle around Springfield — different sizes, different conditions, same standard.
We work Springfield and the towns around it every week. We also cover Republic, Ozark, Nixa, Willard, Rogersville, Strafford, Fair Grove and Battlefield. We know what the buildings here are like and how they age.
Everyone who turns up is licensed, insured and ours. Nothing gets farmed out to a subcontractor we cannot vouch for.
Barn Demolition is what we do, not a sideline bolted on to something else. Structure type established and suspect materials tested for asbestos. Testing costs little relative to discovering the problem mid-demolition, which stops the job.
Quoted before we start, and held there. Anything that would move it gets shown to you and agreed before we carry on.
Anything to do with barn demolition. To start with: structure and hazard assessment, permits and utility disconnection, salvage assessment, abatement, if required, demolition and separation, foundation and site restoration. If you need something that is not on that list, call and ask – we can usually quote it or tell you honestly who should.
We cover Springfield, MO and the surrounding towns – Republic, Ozark, Nixa, Willard, Rogersville, Strafford, Fair Grove, Battlefield, Clever, Fremont Hills, Marshfield, Highlandville, Spokane, Marionville, Pleasant Hope, Ash Grove, Sparta, Fordland, Billings, Diggins, Morrisville, Walnut Grove, Chesapeake, Hurley, and more. If you do not see your town listed, call anyway and we will tell you straight whether we can get to you.
Structure and hazard assessment – Construction type identified and suspect materials tested. Asbestos siding and roofing and lead paint are common in older agricultural buildings and must be established before pricing.; Permits and utility disconnection – Demolition permit pulled and any electrical, water or gas service to the building properly disconnected. Overhead service drops need the utility involved.; Salvage assessment – Timber frame, siding, beams, and fixtures evaluated for reclamation value. This is worth doing before demolition, because it can materially change the economics.. Which one is right depends on what we find when we look at it, and we will walk you through the trade-offs rather than picking for you.
Structure and hazard assessment is the one we are asked about most often in Springfield. Construction type identified and suspect materials tested. Asbestos siding and roofing and lead paint are common in older agricultural buildings and must be established before pricing.
Most jobs land between $400 and $25,000 per project, depending on condition and scope. We come out, look at it, and give you a written estimate at no charge. We are not the cheapest outfit in Springfield and we will not pretend to be – but you will know exactly what you are paying for before anything starts.
Hazardous materials: Asbestos siding and roofing and lead paint require licensed abatement before demolition and drive cost sharply higher. This is the single largest swing factor and the one most often discovered late. That is usually the biggest single swing in a quote, which is why we look before we price.
Yes. We stand behind what we do and we put the terms in writing with the estimate, so the guarantee is not a handshake you have to remember later.
Call us at (417) 720-8377, or fill in the quote form on this page. We will get back to you, set a time that suits, and come look at the job.
Free estimate, in writing, from a Springfield team that does this every day.
Call us whenever suits. We handle every size of job, residential and commercial, across Springfield and the towns around it.
