Tear Down What No Longer Serves You
Residential demolition services in Alexandria for sheds, garages, decks, and unwanted structures.
When a shed has rotted through its floor joists or a deck has started pulling away from the house in Alexandria, it's no longer safe to use and needs to come down before someone gets hurt. Demolition removes these structures completely, clearing the footprint and hauling away the debris so the space is ready for whatever comes next, whether that's a new build, landscaping, or simply reclaiming the yard.
Messer Excavating, LLC handles residential demolition work throughout Alexandria, including sheds, garages, decks, small outbuildings, and other property features that have reached the end of their usable life. The work is done with attention to safety and site control, and debris is removed as part of the process. If the demolition is part of a larger project, site preparation and grading can follow immediately without needing to coordinate multiple contractors.
If you have a structure in Alexandria that needs to be torn down and cleared, contact Messer Excavating for a free estimate and project walkthrough.
What happens during controlled residential demolition
The structure is assessed for hazards, utilities, and access before any equipment is brought in, and a plan is developed for how the demolition will be carried out without damaging surrounding areas in Alexandria. Hand tools, skid steers, and excavators are used depending on the size and location of the structure, and debris is separated and loaded for removal as the work progresses.
Once the structure is torn down and debris is hauled away, the site is left clear and level, with no remaining foundations, posts, or fragments that would interfere with future work. If you're planning to build something new in the same location, the cleared footprint gives you a clean starting point without needing to work around old materials or unstable ground.
Demolition services are often paired with cleanup, grading, and hauling to keep the project moving efficiently. Messer Excavating handles the full scope of residential tear-down work, from small sheds to larger outbuildings, and provides upfront communication about timing, access requirements, and disposal. If utilities are present, those connections are addressed before demolition begins to avoid complications.

Will demolition damage my yard or landscaping?

What if there are utilities connected to the structure?
Utilities are identified and addressed before demolition begins. If electrical, water, or gas lines are present, they're disconnected or capped to keep the work safe and compliant.

Northern Kentucky Tips
Local Demolition Tips for NKY Homeowners
Helpful insights from our experience serving Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati area properties.
Check for Asbestos First
Homes built before 1980 in Campbell, Kenton, and Boone counties may contain asbestos. Kentucky requires proper testing before demolition of older structures.
Utility Disconnection
Contact Duke Energy and local water utilities at least 2 weeks before demolition. NKY utility companies require advance notice for safe disconnection.
Neighbor Notification
Its good practice in NKY communities to notify neighbors before demolition work. This helps maintain good relationships and prepares them for temporary noise.
