Send Your Demolition Project to a Contractor Working the Area

Details that help the contractor most

• The street address, or at least the cross streets and the community, so the contractor knows whether the city or the parish handles the permit.
• The job itself: an entire home, an outbuilding, a backyard pool, a gutted kitchen or bath, or slabs like an old driveway or patio.
• An approximate build year if you have one, plus whether it has ever been lifted onto piers or patched up after high water.
• What has to stay, such as a neighbor's fence, a tree, a driveway or part of the building.
• What you plan to do afterward: sell the lot, rebuild, plant grass or pour new concrete.
• The best way and best time to reach you.

Do not worry about getting the trade terms right. Plain words like the old carport out back or the cracked slab by the street are perfectly clear.

Photos that help the most

Phone pictures are fine. Take them in daylight and step back far enough to show context, not just close-ups of damage.

• Every side of the structure, including the foundation where it meets the ground.
• The route from the street to the work area, showing gates, driveways, overhead wires and how close the neighbors are.
• Anything you suspect may be old siding, floor tile or pipe wrap, since those matter for the asbestos inspection.
• For a pool or concrete, a wide shot of the whole yard so the contractor can see how water drains.

What happens after you send it

1. The contractor reads your description and photos and reaches out with any questions.
2. A site visit is arranged so the contractor can walk the property, check access and look at the ground.
3. You receive a written proposal describing what comes down, what happens to the foundation and debris, and how the lot will be left.
4. You decide whether to go ahead. There is no obligation at any point.

Gretna Demolition is owned by NexTier Digital LLC, a marketing company, and does not perform demolition itself. If you want to read up first, the services and service areas pages explain the work and where it happens.
