Demolition and junk removal in Barrhaven

Most of Barrhaven was built from the 1990s on, which means a lot of first-generation basements, decks and kitchens are now due for replacement. That is most of our work here.

Local housing

What we see in Barrhaven

Older parts of Barrhaven east of Greenbank Road date from the 1970s and 80s, while Longfields, Stonebridge and Half Moon Bay are much newer. Newer homes rarely raise asbestos questions, which keeps interior demolition simple. Pressure-treated decks from the 1990s and 2000s are reaching the end of their life across the community.

Barrhaven notes
  • Deck footings come out best when the ground is thawed. Winter deck jobs can remove boards and framing first.
  • Townhouse and semi strip-outs: we protect the shared wall and keep dust out of your neighbour’s side.

Common jobs

  • Basement demolition before a refinish or after water damage
  • Deck removal ahead of a new deck or patio (spring through fall for footings)
  • Kitchen strip-outs in 1990s and 2000s homes
  • Shed removal and back-yard cleanups
  • Garage and moving-day junk removal

Permits

Paperwork in Barrhaven

Most Barrhaven homes were built after 1990, so a hazardous materials survey is rarely needed for interior work. The older streets east of Greenbank Road, from the 1970s and 80s, are the exception.

Buildings from before 1990 get a hazardous materials survey before demolition. Abatement is referred to licensed specialists, and we start after the clearance letter.

Disposal

Hauled out, properly

Barrhaven driveways are short, so any bin is sized to fit without blocking the sidewalk. Many basement and deck jobs skip the bin entirely and load straight to our trucks.

On larger jobs a licensed bin company’s roll-off sits on your property and the bin company handles the tipping. Loads we haul ourselves go to the Tomlinson Waste Recovery Centre in Carp, which sorts mixed construction and demolition debris for recycling.

FAQ

Barrhaven: questions

Phones answered Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Do you work on townhouses and semis in Barrhaven?

Yes. Shared-wall homes are a large share of Barrhaven work. We protect the party wall and keep dust and debris on your side.

When is the best time for deck removal in Barrhaven?

Boards and framing can come off any time of year. Footings come out best from April to November, when the ground is thawed.

Asbestos & permits

We don’t touch asbestos. That’s the point.

Some demolition companies will tell you they do it all. We do the demolition, and we make sure the steps before it happen in the right order, by the right people: survey first, licensed abatement, then us.

Read the asbestos and permit FAQ
  1. Built before 1990? Ontario law puts the onus on the owner to identify designated substances before a contract is signed. That means a designated-substances survey.
  2. Survey finds asbestos? A licensed abatement contractor removes it, and you get a clearance letter.
  3. Utilities and permit. Gas, hydro, water and sewer disconnected where needed. Enbridge alone takes about 44 days, so it gets requested first.
  4. Then we demolish. No change orders for surprise asbestos, no stop-work orders, no crew exposed.
