Bayonne is a dense, older city on a peninsula, with water on three sides. More than a third of its homes went up before 1940, and about a third sit in two-family houses. A demolition contractor in Bayonne works on city lots close to the street and the houses next door. Parts of the city, like the former ocean terminal, stand on fill.
TTL Services is a North Jersey demolition contractor with a Paterson yard, and Bayonne is in our service area. We take down houses, garages, warehouses and industrial buildings here for owners, developers, builders and public agencies. Then we haul the debris away and leave the lot ready for what comes next. Call or text (201) 673-5470 to talk through a building in Bayonne.

Bayonne started as a string of villages on Bergen Neck: Bergen Point, Constable Hook, Centerville, Pamrapo and Saltersville. They became a township in 1861 and a city in 1869. Kennedy Boulevard and Avenue C now run most of the length of the city. The 2020 Census counted 71,686 people, and the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate is 74,744.
The Census Bureau's survey puts the median year built for the city's homes at 1954. More than a third went up before 1940, and nearly four in five before 1980. About a third of all homes sit in two-family houses. Only about one in seven is a detached single-family house.
The city has adopted dozens of redevelopment plans, many for single sites on Broadway and the avenues. Some cover former church and school sites. Our house demolition work takes down two-family houses, detached garages and old foundations.
Industry shaped Bayonne. In 1877 an oil company took over a small refinery here. By the 1920s, it was the city's largest employer, with more than 6,000 people on its payroll. Constable Hook, on the city's southeast corner, is still one of its main industrial areas.
The former Military Ocean Terminal juts into New York Bay on the east side. It is a manmade peninsula about two miles long, built from dredged fill starting in 1939. The Navy bought it in 1941, the Army took over in 1967 and military operations ended in 1999. The city adopted the Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor redevelopment plan for the site in 2006.
In 2021, the city shared news of the implosion of the last two 1940s warehouses there, each six stories tall. Each held about 1.5 million square feet and was built to withstand a bomb blast. At Constable Hook, the city has adopted redevelopment plans for industrial properties along Hook Road and New Hook Road. Our industrial demolition work takes down warehouses, plants and loading docks with excavators and recycles the steel and concrete.
The state's Uniform Construction Code requires a permit to demolish a structure. In Bayonne, the Building Department at City Hall issues it, and its demolition packet lists what comes first. The city calls its Zoning Office the first stop for construction permits. State law adds a New Jersey One Call notice at 811, at least three business days ahead.
The packet wants sign-offs from the gas and electric utility and the utilities authority for water and sewer. The Bureau of Fire Prevention signs off too. The owner or agent also signs a notarized asbestos inspection affidavit.
The packet's notice to demolition contractors sets the site rules. Materials are wet down to hold the dust, and debris leaves the site as it piles up. The grades are restored at the end. The city code also calls for a six-foot chain link fence around demolition and excavation sites.
Bayonne sits between Newark Bay and New York Bay, with the Kill Van Kull to the south. The Bayonne Bridge opened over the Kill Van Kull in 1931. In 2019, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey raised its roadway 64 feet for larger container ships.
FEMA maps about a quarter of the city's land in its 1 percent annual chance flood zone. For any one lot, its FEMA map panel decides. The city's master plan review lists stormwater in low-lying sections and the combined sewer system among its concerns.
The NRCS soil survey maps about a sixth of the city as Laguardia and Secaucus soils. Both formed in fill made of construction debris, such as concrete, brick, asphalt and steel. Our foundation excavation work digs through that ground for the next building and hauls the spoils away. Work that disturbs more than 5,000 square feet needs a plan approved by the Hudson-Essex and Passaic Soil Conservation District.

I needed a very thick concrete patio removed. After the first company I called packed up and quit after a few hours, Tailor showed up and got the job done in no time. Tailor really is a stand up guy and very trustworthy. Looking forward to working with them on future projects.
