Demolition Contractor in Wichita, Kansas
Commercial, residential, and industrial demolition across south-central Kansas — completed safely, on schedule, and ready for what's next.
Demolition done right, the first time.
Wichita Demolition Co. is a licensed and insured demolition contractor serving Wichita, Sedgwick County, and the surrounding south-central Kansas communities. For more than 35 years our crews have torn down everything from single-family homes and detached garages to multi-story commercial buildings, industrial structures, schools, and municipal facilities. Every demolition project is engineered, permitted, and executed by our own in-house team — no subcontractors, no surprises.
We approach demolition the same way an engineer approaches construction: in reverse, with a plan. Before the first track machine arrives on site, our project manager walks the property, identifies utilities, documents adjacent structures, secures the city permits, schedules the asbestos survey, and lays out the haul-off plan. That preparation is what keeps Wichita demolition projects on budget and on schedule, with zero damage to neighboring property.
Whether you're a homeowner clearing a lot in Riverside, a general contractor mobilizing on an Old Town redevelopment, or a facility manager retiring a McConnell-corridor warehouse, we mobilize fast, work clean, and leave the site graded and ready for the next phase. Most demolition jobs are scheduled within seven days of estimate approval — and emergency teardowns can be mobilized within 48 hours.
What you get with our demolition crew.
General liability, workers' comp, and excess coverage — certificates available before mobilization.
We pull every demolition permit and coordinate gas, electric, water, and sewer disconnects with the City of Wichita and Sedgwick County.
Our own dump trucks handle every load. No third-party hauler delays, no surcharge markup, no debris left behind.
Most residential demolitions start within 7 days. Commercial projects scheduled around your construction calendar.

We don't just tear down — we backfill, compact, and rough grade so the lot is ready for the next contractor.

Demolition questions, answered.
How much does demolition cost in Wichita?
Residential demolitions typically run $8,000–$18,000 depending on square footage, foundation type, and whether a basement requires backfill. Commercial demolition is priced per project. Every estimate is free and itemized so you see exactly what you're paying for.
Do I need a demolition permit in Wichita?
Yes. The City of Wichita requires a demolition permit for any structural teardown. We pull every permit on your behalf as part of our standard scope.
How long does a residential demolition take?
A typical single-family home is on the ground in 1–2 days, with another 1–2 days for foundation removal, backfill, and final grading. Most projects are fully complete within a week of mobilization.
Do you handle asbestos abatement?
We coordinate the required asbestos survey and bring in a licensed abatement contractor when needed. The survey is mandatory for any structure built before 1989 — we manage the entire process.
What happens to the basement or foundation?
We remove the entire foundation, haul off the concrete, backfill the hole with clean fill, and compact in lifts. The lot is left ready for new construction or landscaping.
Can you demolish a building while keeping adjacent structures intact?
Yes — selective and adjacent-structure demolition is one of our specialties. We use smaller equipment, protective shielding, and engineered cut lines to protect what stays standing.
