Thinking about demolishing your home but worried about the cost? You’re not alone. Many Montgomery area homeowners are surprised to learn that professional house demolition is more affordable than they imagined.
While every project is unique, our clients typically find that brick home demolition ranges from $3-$6 per square foot – which means a complete demolition project for an average-sized home of 2,300 square feet often comes in around $9,200.

What Affects Your House Demolition Cost
Every demolition project is unique, and several key factors can influence your final cost.
Home Size and Location
The size of your home is the primary factor in determining cost. A larger home naturally requires more time, equipment, and disposal. But location matters too – if your property has challenging access points for our trucks and equipment, we’ll need to plan accordingly. The good news? Our experienced team knows every corner of the Montgomery area and can work with virtually any property layout.
Inside Items and Materials
Have items still inside the house? No problem – but they can affect the final cost. From furniture to appliances, we’ll factor everything into your quote. The type of building materials also plays a role. While brick homes typically range from $3-$6 per square foot, different construction materials might adjust this range.
Site Conditions and Access
Is your home close to other structures? Does it have a clear path for our equipment? Site conditions significantly impact how we approach your demolition project. We carefully assess factors like:
- Distance between your home and neighboring structures
- Equipment access paths
- Power line locations
- Tree placement
- Soil conditions
Disposal Distance
The distance to a disposal facility affects transportation costs. Fortunately, our central location in the Montgomery area means we’re never too far from your property, whether you’re in Prattville, Wetumpka, Millbrook, or anywhere else in our service area, helping keep your costs reasonable.
