What the work looks like in Nepean
Copeland Park, Fisher Heights, Braemar Park and Bells Corners are full of 1950s and 60s homes, many with a detached single garage or carport behind the house. Structures that age often have asphalt or cement-board siding and roofing, which is tested before demolition, and many garages were wired at some point, so an electrician makes the power safe first.
Many of these jobs come before a bigger project: a new garage, a rear addition or an infill build. If the house is coming down later, we can quote the garage on its own now or as part of the house demolition, whichever suits your builder’s schedule.
Neighbourhoods like Copeland Park, Fisher Heights, Braemar Park and Bells Corners are full of 1950s and 60s bungalows and split-levels. More about Nepean

Before work starts in Nepean
The City requires a permit to demolish a building or structure, and its demolition page lists barns and silos as exceptions. A storage shed of 15 m² or less with no plumbing does not need a permit to build (ottawa.ca), but that exemption is about construction, so we confirm what applies to your structure at the site visit. Wired garages and sheds need an electrician to make the power safe first.
Infill teardowns need a City demolition permit, with utility clearances. We check every infill address against the Demolition Control map before quoting.
Any building from before 1990 gets a hazardous materials survey first. If it finds asbestos or other designated substances, abatement is referred to licensed specialists, and our crew starts after the clearance letter.
Disposal
Torn out. Hauled out.
Every job ends ready for the next trade. Here is where the debris goes.
Wood, shingles, metal and siding are separated where the site allows. Metal goes to scrap, concrete pads go to aggregate recycling, and mixed debris goes to a licensed sorting facility.
On larger jobs, a roll-off bin from a licensed bin company sits on your property, and the bin company hauls it away and handles the tipping at its own facility.
On smaller jobs our crew loads our own trucks and hauls to the Tomlinson Waste Recovery Centre at 106 Westhunt Drive in Carp, which sorts mixed construction and demolition debris for recycling and accepts commercial loads.
Infill teardowns in Nepean use a roll-off bin on the lot. The bin company hauls and tips it, and we keep the road and sidewalk swept.
What’s included

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- 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.
- Survey finds asbestos? A licensed abatement contractor removes it, and you get a clearance letter.
- Utilities and permit. Gas, hydro, water and sewer disconnected where needed. Enbridge alone takes about 44 days, so it gets requested first.
- Then we demolish. No change orders for surprise asbestos, no stop-work orders, no crew exposed.
FAQ
Shed, deck & garage demolition in Nepean: questions
Does a detached garage need a demolition permit?
Yes, garages generally need a City demolition permit. We confirm what applies at the site visit.
My garage has power. What happens first?
Your electrician disconnects and makes the feed safe. We do not cut or disconnect live services.
Can you remove the slab?
Yes, if it is in the quote. Concrete goes to aggregate recycling and is priced separately because of its weight.
Are Nepean bungalows usually renovated or replaced?
Both. Many post-war bungalows are replaced with infill, and many are gutted and rebuilt inside. We do either, and the site visit usually makes the better option clear to your builder or designer.
