Small Structure Demolition & Removal

Demolition Services · Central Florida

Breaking Ground focuses on smaller demolition and structure removal for homeowners, investors, and property managers across Central Florida. We take down mobile homes, sheds, barns, decks, and similar light structures, then haul the debris so your lot is ready for the next chapter.

We are an owner-operated father-and-son crew based in Kathleen. Andrew brings decades of heavy-equipment experience; Guy handles project coordination and customer communication. You work directly with the people running the machines — not a call center.

Permit requirements vary by property, structure, and jurisdiction. Polk County and many Florida cities require a demolition permit for structure removal. We evaluate each project individually and coordinate required permitting based on the scope of work. We do not perform asbestos abatement; if regulated materials are discovered, work pauses until qualified specialty contractors handle them.

What’s included on a typical job

Clear scope up front — so you know what the estimate covers before we mobilize.

  • Mobile homes & light structures
  • Outbuildings and storm-damaged units
  • Debris staging and disposal
  • Honest scope — no overselling
  • Free estimate with photos
  • Written scope before work starts
  • Owner-operated crew — talk to Guy or Andrew
  • Haul-off and lot cleanup included in scope

What we demolish and remove

  • Mobile homes and manufactured homes (singlewide and doublewide)
  • Sheds, barns, and outbuildings
  • Decks, porches, and carports attached to light structures
  • Storm-damaged or fire-damaged light structures (case by case)
  • Debris piles left after prior teardown attempts

What this service is not

We do not market unrestricted commercial high-rise demolition or large engineered building teardown as a general contracting specialty. If your project involves a complex occupied structure, hazardous materials, or specialized engineering, we will say so clearly and help you understand next steps.

Our typical process

  1. Phone or form estimate with photos and site details
  2. On-site walk-through when needed
  3. Written scope covering teardown, haul-off, and grading expectations
  4. Utility disconnect confirmation and permit coordination as required
  5. Demolition, debris removal, and final cleanup

Why property owners call Breaking Ground

Direct owner communication, real project photography, and a demolition-first mindset for the jobs Florida lots actually need — mobile homes, sheds, storm messes, and clearing that supports the next use of the land. Call (863) 899-9717 or use the form below.

Every estimate includes a clear description of what is included: teardown or clearing, debris handling, and what is excluded (such as hazardous material abatement or engineered design). That clarity protects both sides and keeps projects moving.

If your property needs both structure removal and land clearing, we can often combine scopes in one mobilization — reducing duplicate mobilizations and disposal trips. Ask about bundling when you request your estimate on our contact page, review pricing ranges, or browse the project gallery.
