Demolition in Broward County, planned before anything comes down

Every job is quoted from a site visit, or from photos and drawings when that is enough to see the scope. The number depends on what the building is made of, its size and height, what the asbestos survey finds, which utilities must be disconnected, access for equipment, how close the neighbors are, what stays and what goes, and where the debris is hauled. We do not publish prices, because two jobs that look alike rarely are.

Any size. We quote one interior wall, a shed, a pool or a slab, and we quote a full building, including selective and structural demolition. Tell us what is there and what has to remain, and we will price the scope as described.

Almost always, for anything structural. A permit is generally required to demolish a building or any part of one, and each city's building department sets its own checklist. When you hire Romco, we prepare and file the permit as the contractor of record and schedule the inspections through final. Confirm the requirements for your property with the building department.

The building is surveyed first by an independent licensed consultant, because federal rules require a thorough asbestos inspection before a regulated demolition and the county's notice depends on it. If the survey finds asbestos that the work will disturb, a licensed abatement firm removes it. Romco coordinates both; we are not an abatement contractor.

We do not quote durations before the facts are in. The schedule depends on permit review in your city, how quickly the utility disconnect letters arrive, what the asbestos survey finds and any notice period that follows, association approvals, and the size and construction of the building. Once those are known, we give you a sequence with the dependencies named.

Yes. Romco Builders is a licensed Florida general contractor, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale. Work that needs its own license, such as asbestos abatement, electrical disconnects or tree removal, is done by firms that hold that license, and we coordinate them under one schedule.

The utilities and the licensed trades do. FPL disconnects electric service, the gas provider removes or caps the gas service, the water provider pulls the meter, and a licensed plumber caps the sewer or a septic tank is abandoned under its own permit. We request the disconnect letters, track them, and file the permit once the set is complete.

It is sorted, loaded and hauled to licensed disposal or recycling facilities, and some cities require a particular franchised hauler. Concrete and metal are commonly separated from mixed debris. Asbestos waste, where there is any, travels separately with the abatement firm under its own rules. The haul and disposal are priced in the quote as their own line.

All of Broward County: every city from Deerfield Beach to Hallandale Beach and west to Parkland, Weston and Miramar, plus the unincorporated areas. We are headquartered in Fort Lauderdale. Each city has its own building department, and we work to the checklist of the one that holds your property.

Often, yes, with the right sequence. Selective and interior demolition is planned around what stays: shoring designed by an engineer where structure is removed, dust and debris separation from occupied space, and working hours agreed with the owner or association. We set that plan before the first wall is opened.
