Demolition contractor in the Bronx
The Bronx runs two different jobs: dense walk-up multifamily in the south and west, detached property in the north and east.
The Bronx building stock
The south and west of the borough is walk-up and elevator multifamily, much of it prewar, a lot of it continuously occupied. North and east through Riverdale, Throggs Neck, Country Club and City Island the stock turns detached and semi-detached with driveways, garages and yards. Along the Bruckner, the Hutchinson River Parkway and the Bronx River corridor there is real industrial and warehouse stock.
What that means for a job in the Bronx
Walk-up buildings mean stairs, not lifts
A five-storey walk-up has no service lift, so every load comes down a stair shared with residents. That sets the pace and it decides how material is broken down and bagged. It is the single biggest cost factor on a South Bronx apartment strip-out.
The north and east of the borough behaves like Queens
Driveways, side access, garages, yards and pools. Where a machine can reach the work, structure and grounds jobs run quickly and price accordingly.
Warehouse strip-outs are a genuine part of the borough
Racking, mezzanines, platforms and the slabs and machine plinths under them, along the expressway corridors. Door heights, floor loading and whether the unit keeps trading decide the sequence more than the tonnage does.

Demolition in The Bronx: your questions
It is a fifth-floor walk-up. Is that a problem?
Not a problem, but it is a different job and we will price it as one. Material gets bagged smaller, staged so the stair is never blocked, and moved around resident movement.
Do you work on occupied multifamily buildings?
Regularly. Sealed separation, agreed hours and a protected route are standard, and we would rather agree those with the managing agent before day one.
