Here are the common types of building demolition projects we handle.

Residential Demolition

Our residential demolition services are well-tailored to cater to the unique requirements of homeowners in the Portland, Oregon area. Whether you want to bring down a detached home, a townhouse, an apartment complex, or an outbuilding, Northland Demolition & Recycling is your top choice. A typical example of our residential demolition work is the complete removal of the old Kettleman's Bagels building on NE Broadway in Portland. We not only tore down the structure but also ensured the efficient removal and recycling of the resulting debris.

In the recent past, we successfully completed the demolition of a multi-story office building in Portland's Pearl District. In such projects, we employ a variety of environmentally friendly techniques such as deconstruction and green demolition to minimize waste, reduce the project's ecological impact, and maximize recycling opportunities.

Industrial Demolition

Industrial demolition is another area in which we specialize. We handle the teardown of warehouses, factories, power plants, and various other types of industrial facilities. Our team's expertise is evident in our numerous completed projects, such as the demolition of the old Crown Cork & Seal factory in Portland. We applied safe asbestos removal techniques before the actual demolition, then utilized eco-friendly disposal methods to manage the demolished materials.

Historical Building Demolition

Historical buildings present unique challenges due to their age, structural integrity, and the need to preserve certain architectural details. We have experience in this delicate field, as exhibited by our work on the tear-down of the Portland City Grill building. We took great care to remove and preserve historically significant architectural elements before proceeding with the demolition. All reusable materials were recycled in line with our eco-friendly practices.

Interior Demolition

Interior demolition typically involves the selective removal of certain interior components of a building while preserving the external structure. Here at Northland, we carry out this form of demolition for various reasons, such as preparation for an upgrade or a remodel. A case in point is the comprehensive interior demolition we conducted at a historical landmark on SW Broadway in Portland while maintaining the building's structural integrity.

Emergency Demolition

At times, circumstances such as fire damage, weather-related issues, or safety concerns may necessitate immediate building demolition. We offer reliable emergency demolition services, available round the clock. For instance, we once demolished and cleaned up a commercial building on NE 82nd Avenue in Portland that had been severely damaged by fire.

Green Demolition

At Northland Demolition & Recycling, we take immense pride in minimizing environmental impact. We specialize in green demolition which emphasizes waste minimization and extensive recycling of demolished materials. This approach was effectively implemented during the demolition of a closed-down school building in North Portland, where we managed to recycle over 85% of the demolished materials.

By choosing Northland Demolition & Recycling for your building demolition projects, you opt for extensive industry experience, unwavering dedication to safety, eco-friendly disposal and recycling methods, and an all-round professional service.
