What to know about Demolition
Demolition contractors take down what a renovation or new build needs gone: an interior strip-out back to the studs, a wall or a chimney, a garage, deck or shed, or a whole house to clear the lot for a replacement. The job is more than breaking things. It includes planning, permits, disconnecting services, protecting what stays, sorting and hauling debris, and leaving a clean site for the next trade.

- Check that the pro carries liability insurance and, where required, is licensed for this work in your province.
- Look at recent reviews and photos of similar jobs.
- Get the price, the timeline and the payment terms in writing before work starts.

Demolition permits in Alberta
Some demolition work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common demolition questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
