Our Services
House demolition is taking a whole home down to bare ground and hauling every piece of it away. Global Construction and Home Repair does that work in Valrico and across the Tampa Bay area. We tear down houses, garages, additions, sheds, barns, decks and carports. The slab and the foundation come out too, and the lot gets graded when we are done.
Most of the work we do is demolition, so a house teardown is routine for us. We have more than 30 years of demolition and construction work in the Tampa Bay area. We are a demolition contractor based in Valrico and work about 50 miles out. Call or text (813) 239-4231 for a free estimate.

A residential demolition can be the whole house or one building on the property. We take down block homes and frame homes, single story and two story. Garages, carports, additions, porches, decks and lanais come down the same way. Sheds, barns and other outbuildings go with them.
Once the house is down, the slab and footers come out. The excavator breaks up the concrete and loads it. Everything leaves in dump trucks and trailers, the way we handle construction debris removal on other sites.
If only part of the house needs to go, that is selective demolition, and we do that too. A flooded ground floor, a damaged wing or an attached garage can come down while the rest stays up.
Hurricane Helene pushed storm surge into Tampa Bay homes in late September 2024, and Hurricane Milton followed in October. Some of those houses dried out and were repaired. Others were too far gone. We have done demolition work on homes flooded in those 2024 storms.
Homes in a FEMA flood zone also run into the substantial damage rule. If repairs cost 50 percent or more of the building's market value, the county calls it substantially damaged. That house then has to be rebuilt to current floodplain rules, which is why many owners tear it down. Check your own address with the Hillsborough County floodplain office.
Builders and investors call us for teardown and rebuild lots too. An older house comes off, the slab and footers come out, and the lot gets cleaned up. From there it is a short step to grading and building pad prep before the new house goes in.
A demolition permit comes first. In unincorporated Hillsborough County that goes through the county's HillsGovHub portal, with a site plan of the parcel. It also wants sign offs from the power, water, gas and phone providers, plus a recorded Notice of Commencement. Inside a city, that city's building office may handle the permit instead.
Florida requires an asbestos survey by a licensed inspector before most demolitions. In Hillsborough County the Environmental Protection Commission takes the asbestos notification. If the survey finds asbestos, licensed asbestos contractors remove it before we start. We book our work around that.
Power, water, gas and phone service get disconnected before the machine touches the house. We call Sunshine 811 before we dig out a slab or a footer. Then the excavator brings the house down and the debris goes out in our trucks. We grade the lot before we leave.
From the first call or text to the clean lot at the end, here is how it goes.
Call or text (813) 239-4231 with the address and what needs to come down. Photos of the structure help before we come out.
We come to the property and look at the structure or the lot. Size, what it is built of, access for the machines and where the debris goes all set the price. The estimate is free.
Hillsborough County requires a demolition permit, and it wants utility sign-offs before it issues one. A licensed asbestos inspector surveys the buildings the state rule covers. We work around the permit and the survey, and we confirm what your address needs.
The excavator comes in and the structure comes down. Anything you are keeping stays protected while that happens. Debris goes into dump trucks and trailers as we work.
The last loads go out, and the slab and foundation go with them when you want them gone. We grade the ground so the lot sits level. Then you have a lot you can build on, sell or use.
