Demolition contractor in Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill has been rebuilding itself along Yonge Street and in Mill Pond and Bayview Hill for years: 1960s and 1970s houses on 50 to 70 foot lots giving way to new two-storeys. The tear-down is the builder's first trade on site, and the schedule for the whole build starts with our permit date.
