HeavenScape Development was amazing! Their a 5 star company and very professional. They did demolition to my garage and left it so clean it looked like nothing ever happened. I will definitely use them again and I highly recommend them.

I have a fairly large driveway in Fairview Park in desperate need of removal and replacement. The driveway was sunken down every bit of 4 inches lower than the yard, and multiple layers of old paving. I also wanted it widened about 2 feet. I`ve gotten a number of estimates over the past year. From my first correspondence with HeavenScape they were a standout.Communication was quick, the survey and estimate was well thought out easy to understand and honest. They handled all permits and inspections.The work was great. Couldn`t asked for any better.I absolutely love my driveway now.But more importantly than the driveway and their workmanship was the communication through the entire process, keeping their word on everything along the way, giving updates on progress and informing on what would be coming day to day. Working through a bad weather month.They were incredibly professional knowledgeable and honest. Needless to say they will be the first place I call for future concrete work and a garage demo. Their hard work is very appreciated.

The team at Heavenscape did a fantstic job completing a poolhouse and concrete fence tear-down in our back yard. From the moment I reached out to get a quote, the team was responsive, communicative and timely. The price was reasonable, and I couldn't have asked for a better crew. Professional and courteous with each interaction, they worked with us as a few complications arose (out of thier control), and agreed to take on a little add-on job that popped up as well. I wold recommend to friends, and will definitely use them again if I have a need.

DIY pool demolition might sound like an exciting weekend project, but it’s packed with more surprises than a mystery novel. As a professional demolition expert, I’ve seen it all—from triumphant DIY successes to gut-wrenching disasters. In this article, I’ll uncover 10 shocking truths about DIY pool demolition to help you decide if you’re ready for this challenging but rewarding task.
The True Cost of DIY Pool Demolition
Hidden Expenses
You might think that DIY pool demolition will save you a fortune, but the truth is, the costs can quickly add up. Renting equipment like jackhammers and excavators isn`t cheap. You`ll also need to factor in the cost of disposing of debris, which often involves renting a dumpster or hiring a hauling service.
Safety Risks
Without proper training and safety gear, you`re at risk of serious injury. Cuts, bruises, and even broken bones are common. A friend of mine decided to take on a pool demolition project solo and ended up with a nasty gash that required stitches.
Permit Fees
Let`s not forget about permits. Most municipalities require a permit for pool demolition, and these can range from $50 to several hundred dollars. One homeowner I worked with thought he could skip this step, only to be slapped with a hefty fine and a stop-work order.
Equipment & Requirements
Essential Tools
To demolish a pool, you`ll need heavy-duty tools like jackhammers, sledgehammers, and possibly an excavator. These aren`t your everyday household tools and require some skill to operate.
Renting VS Buying
Renting equipment can be expensive, especially if the project takes longer than expected. Buying tools might be an option, but it`s an investment that might not make sense for a one-time project. I`ve had clients who spent a small fortune on tools they only used once.
Legal Requirements
Permits and regulations vary by location. Failing to comply with local laws can result in fines and legal trouble. I always advise homeowners to check with their local building department before starting any demolition project.

Common Pool Removal Questions
How much does pool demolition cost?
The cost of pool demolition can vary widely depending on factors such as the size of the pool, its location, and the method of demolition. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $3,000 and $10,000. For a more accurate estimate, it`s best to get a quote from a professional demolition contractor.
Do I need a permit for pool demolition?
Yes, most municipalities in Ohio require a permit for pool demolition. The process involves submitting an application and possibly undergoing an inspection. Check with your local building department to understand the specific requirements and fees in your area.
How long does it take to demolish a pool?
The duration of pool demolition depends on the size of the pool and the demolition method used. Typically, the process can take anywhere from a few days to two weeks. Factors such as weather conditions and site accessibility can also impact the timeline.
What happens to the debris after pool demolition?
After the pool is demolished, the debris (including concrete, rebar, and other materials) needs to be disposed of properly. This often involves renting a dumpster or hiring a hauling service. Some materials can be recycled, such as concrete being crushed and reused for other projects, however, it`s typically handled by your demolition contractor.
Can I demolish my pool myself?
While it`s possible to undertake pool demolition as a DIY project, it requires significant physical labor, the right tools, and adherence to safety and legal requirements. It`s a challenging and potentially dangerous task. Hiring a professional ensures the job is done safely, efficiently, and in compliance with local regulations.
