TTL Services is a demolition contractor in Paterson, and our house demolition jobs take the whole structure down. We work on single-family homes and multi-family buildings across North Jersey, apartment complexes included. The old foundation comes out too, and the debris leaves in our trucks and containers. Then we grade the lot so it is ready for the next foundation.
Homeowners and builders call us to clear a lot for a new house or remove one after a fire. Our excavators and trucks come out of our yard in Paterson. Demolition debris removal is part of every house teardown, with concrete and metal sent to recycling.
Tell us about the building or the site and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
The machine work is the last step of a house teardown. First we look at the house and the lot, then put the quote in writing. Next come the utility releases: each utility that served the house confirms its connections are removed or sealed. The town's demolition permit waits on those releases.
The permit also waits on asbestos. The town needs word that any asbestos that would crumble in the teardown comes out first. That asbestos abatement is done by the licensed asbestos abatement contractor we work with, before our machines arrive.
State law treats demolition like digging. New Jersey One Call (811) gets notice at least three business days ahead, and the buried lines get marked. Then our excavators take the house apart with demolition grapples, and the debris is sorted and loaded out.
Much of Paterson's housing is old. About a third of the city's homes were built before 1940, by Census Bureau estimates. More than half sit in buildings with two to four units.
On a narrow city lot, the house next door can stand close by. New Jersey's construction code asks the owner to protect adjoining properties during demolition. The plan for that goes in with the permit application. The owners of the lots next door also get written notice.
We take down the two-family and three-family houses common in Paterson, along with larger apartment buildings. Fire-damaged and condemned houses are part of the work too. When a town's construction official orders an unsafe house down, that work falls under emergency demolition.
When a house stands on a basement, the foundation walls and the floor slab come out after the house. We break them out and haul the concrete to recycling. A house on a slab gets the same treatment.
If no one is building right away, the basement hole is backfilled and the lot is graded. New Jersey's construction code calls for a demolished lot to be left safe, with its established grades restored.
Where a builder is ready to start, excavation for the new foundation can follow the teardown instead. The builder's concrete contractor then pours the new foundation in the hole we dig.

The quote spells out what comes down and how the lot is left. We set the date once you say yes.
Each utility confirms its connection is removed or sealed, and then the town can issue the demolition permit. Any asbestos that would crumble is abated before the teardown. A call to New Jersey One Call (811) gets the buried lines marked.
Our excavators bring the structure down, and the debris is sorted and hauled. The lot is left graded, or dug for the new foundation when the builder is ready.

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.
