Demolition Services Offered
Contrary to what many people may believe, demolition is complex work that requires a lot of skill and expertise to execute successfully – and no two buildings are alike, with practices varying based on the job. In this section, we’ll cover the demolition services that we offer at Alpine Demolition to help you determine what type would be best for your Elgin site.

Building Demolition
No matter how big or small, our bread and butter is commercial building demolition of any type. From office buildings to sports stadiums, from routine jobs to complex ones – no matter the situation, we have what it takes to execute. Contact us today to learn more about our building demolition services and see our Projects page for case studies of jobs we’ve successfully completed.
Industrial Demolition
A typical commercial building is one thing, but what about roads, bridges, industrial facilities, power stations, and more? Industrial demolition tends to be more complex than a conventional demolition job – and a more complex demolition job is going to require a more specialized demolition contractor. Alpine specializes in industrial demolition and will work closely with engineers and other stakeholders to ensure a successful outcome. Contact us today to learn more about our industrial demolition capabilities.


Concrete Crushing
Why spend time and money hauling concrete off to the landfill when you can have it crushed on-site and upcycled into a future building project?
Concrete is one of the most common construction byproducts, with some 20 billion tons used worldwide yearly. But after a demolition project, it’s often hauled away to a landfill – which tends to be expensive, highly regulated, and poor for the environment. Alpine’s concrete crushing service does more than just upcycle old concrete into aggregate used as backfill material for roads, parking lots, driveways, and more, but it also helps deliver cost savings on any demolition job. Finally, it’s better for the environment. Concrete crushing will keep used concrete out of the landfill and also saves energy and resources that would be used to process new concrete aggregates.
Contact us today to learn more about our concrete crushing services. We’ll handle all the permitting and paperwork and make this value-added service all the more convenient for the client.
Interior Demolition
Another common type of demolition Alpine performs is interior demolition. Interior demolition is different from a conventional demolition project because it typically only involves work to the inside of a building. Rather than take an entire structure down, interior demolition is often done prior to a building addition or when an owner wants to significantly revamp or remodel parts of an existing structure. It’s often carried out in schools, healthcare facilities, multi-family properties, and more. Being a bit more sensitive and intricate than a typical demolition job, ceilings, floors, plumbing, electrical, HVAC equipment, and more often need to be salvaged during a job and repurposed during the subsequent construction fit out. Contact us today to learn more about interior demolition and how we work to handle these types of jobs.
