Built for the High Desert

Planned for Central Oregon Ground Conditions

We plan for basalt shelf, volcanic rock, and seasonal ground conditions before we price the job, so it doesn't turn into a surprise halfway through.

Utility Disconnects First

Older Central Oregon properties often have utilities that need confirmed disconnects before equipment moves in.

Foundation & Slab Removal

Many teardown sites include an old foundation or slab that needs breaking and hauling, not just the structure above it.

Mixed Debris Streams

Demolition debris needs sorting for proper disposal under local requirements — it's planned for, not figured out at the dump.

Direct-to-Rebuild Sequencing

Tear-down-and-rebuild on the same lot is common here — we sequence demo straight into the site prep that follows.

Who We Work For

Homeowners

Tearing down an old structure to rebuild or clear a lot? We handle the demolition, debris removal, and site clearing so you're not managing three separate contractors.

Builders & Contractors

We coordinate utility disconnects with providers, demo to your schedule, and can sequence straight into new excavation or site prep without a gap between crews.

How the Job Works

  1. Utility Disconnect — Coordinated with providers before equipment moves in.
  2. Demolition — Structure taken down.
  3. Debris Removal — Hauled and disposed of per local requirements.
  4. Site Clearing — Ground cleared for what's next.
  5. Handoff — Straight into new site prep or excavation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a demolition contractor?
A demolition contractor safely takes down structures such as houses, garages, sheds and outbuildings, then clears the debris so the lot is ready for what comes next. The work includes coordinating utility disconnects before equipment moves in, removing foundations and slabs, and hauling away the material. BGH Excavation does residential and light commercial demolition for homeowners, builders and developers across Redmond, Bend and Deschutes County, Oregon, and moves straight into site prep and excavation on the same lot.

How much does demolition cost in Redmond, Bend and Deschutes County?
Demolition typically costs about $5 to $10 per square foot. A house usually runs about $7,500 to $15,000, a garage about $800 to $10,000, and a shed about $500 to $3,500. Removing a foundation or slab, hauling and disposing of debris, and tight access add to the price. BGH Excavation gives a free on-site estimate, so you get a firm number for your structure.

Do I need a permit or asbestos survey to demolish a building in Deschutes County?
A demolition permit is typically required, and Oregon requires an asbestos survey by an accredited inspector before a residence built before 2004 can be demolished. If asbestos is found, it has to be removed by a licensed abatement contractor first. BGH Excavation helps handle the permitting and coordinates the survey and utility disconnects, so the teardown can start on schedule.

Do you haul away the debris and remove the foundation after demolition in Deschutes County?
Yes. We haul and dispose of the debris and break out and remove foundations and slabs, so you aren't left with a pile to deal with. Once the lot is clear, we can move straight into site prep or excavation for the new build without a gap between crews.
