In Stittsville
What the work looks like in Stittsville
On rural lots toward Ashton and Munster, the typical job is an old garage, drive shed or small barn that is past saving. The City lists barns and silos as structures that do not need a demolition permit, but most garages and sheds do, so we sort out what applies at the site visit.
In the newer subdivisions off Fernbank Road and Abbott Street, the work is smaller: kit sheds, decks and pergolas cleared for pools and landscaping. Those yards are fenced and tight, so everything is carried out by hand through the side yard.
Homes along Stittsville Main Street and the original village streets go back decades, while most of the newer subdivisions went up after 2000. More about Stittsville
Typical projects
- Old barns, drive sheds and lean-tos on acreage

Before work starts in Stittsville
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.
The City’s demolition permit page lists barns and silos as building types that do not need a demolition permit. Garages, houses and most other outbuildings do.
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.
Stittsville is close to the Carp Road corridor, which keeps hauling efficient on rural cleanups and outbuilding jobs.

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 Stittsville: questions
Does a barn need a demolition permit?
The City of Ottawa lists barns and silos among the building types that do not need a demolition permit. Garages and most other outbuildings do. We confirm which applies to your structure.
My outbuilding has old siding. Is that a problem?
Older cement-board or asphalt siding and roofing can contain asbestos. Have it tested first; if it is positive, a licensed abatement specialist removes it before we demolish.
Can you work around my well and septic?
Yes. Show us where they are at the site visit and we route trucks and debris piles well clear of them.
Do you work on rural Stittsville properties?
Yes. Acreage toward Ashton and Munster included: outbuildings, scrap cleanups and older homes on well and septic.
