Licensed Southern California Demolition Contractor

Yes. C&S Demolition is a DBA of Scrapit LLC, a fully licensed California contractor (License #1126325). We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage on every project. You can verify our license at CSLB.ca.gov. We provide Certificates of Insurance upon request before any project begins.

Yes — we handle the complete permit process on your behalf. This includes researching requirements, filing applications, scheduling inspections, and obtaining final sign-offs. We are familiar with the building departments in all 123+ cities we serve across Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties. Your written bid spells out which permits the job needs and who pulls them.

We serve 123+ cities across four Southern California counties: Orange County (Anaheim, Irvine, Huntington Beach, and 32+ more), Los Angeles County (Long Beach, Torrance, Pasadena, and 48+ more), Riverside County (Riverside, Corona, Temecula, and 17+ more), and San Bernardino County (Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, and 14+ more). If you're not sure whether we cover your city, just call — we very likely do.

Yes. California law requires asbestos surveys before demolition of structures built before 1980. C&S Demolition coordinates certified asbestos testing and, when required, proper abatement before any teardown work begins. We work with licensed abatement contractors and handle all coordination so you don't have to manage multiple vendors.

Yes — full debris removal and broom-clean site cleanup is always included. We haul everything to licensed disposal and recycling facilities in Southern California. Concrete is crushed and recycled; metal is sent to scrap; clean wood goes to recycling centers. No surprise disposal charges at the end of the job — it's all in your quote.

For projects that don't require permits (many shed, fence, and flooring removal jobs), we can often schedule within a few days of your estimate. Permitted projects depend on city processing times — we advise you on realistic timelines upfront. Most permitted projects in Orange County and LA County start within 1–3 weeks of estimate approval.

Selective demolition means removing specific elements (a wall, a floor, cabinets, a chimney) while preserving the surrounding structure. Full demolition means tearing down the entire structure. C&S Demolition specializes in both. Selective demo is common in remodeling projects where precision matters — we use hand tools alongside equipment to avoid damaging adjacent finishes.
