I hope everybody realizes, that they are getting a quality business lesson in an entertaining 5:00 video here.. Not many people sharing these things like you are, Stanley.. Great Video :)
Thanks Greg- your work and videos are the best. Inspirational with a solid message- the kind of info we all need. Thanks for all your help along the way. You rock!
I love how you give advice for how estimates work, and what goes into them. Any jackass can watch a video and take a class to learn how to do the task itself, it's these insights that only field experience gives that I love watching!
Utilities have to be disconnected most times the power company will leave the wire hang from the pole to the house because everything from the meter to the house belongs to the homeowner so they just pull their meter and as long as you don't damage the pole it's up to the demo company to remove the line from the house we always cut it at the top of the pole and the mast on the house toss it in the pickup and it goes to our recycle pile same with copper pipes and wiring in older houses we'll strip all that might want to check local and state laws before doing that my state is pretty relaxed on stuff like that Cali where my cousin lives that's considered criminal you can't keep anything from a demo it's all got to go in dumpsters where I live I can dump the burnable stuff in a pit in my pasture and burn it and recycle any metal and keep any salvageable lumber or anything
Looks like fun! I have a bud that drove that machine 70 hrs a week during the boom. He saved enough money to purchase a backhoe with a low boy, but never pulled the trigger. (Nerves) now he's an otr trucker. Great video! You make it sound so simple. Lol. It can be though!
How do you go about making sure the house is disconnected from water, electricity and gas?. And I know it depends on state , but generally are permits required for demo?. Thank you for any advice.
Depends on the rental company some charge a minimum daily charge plus running hr charge some only a running hr charge if you only have it for a day or two some also have a damage deposit you get back as long as you don't abuse the machine shop around well before it's time to need a machine so you know the best rental company in the area some even drop off and pickup free depending on how big the job is
I'm not sure in this instance but some when I bid jobs I always give a bid for what it would cost me to haul and dispose of it unless they want to get dumpsters and pay for that then I'll bid for just the demo I always give them the choice
Need advice At my home town i got in to city bids and they have six houses up for demolish but im required to be responsible for the light,water and gas shot off. Of the house what should i charge for that per house.
I always contact the utility companies and find out what they charge and add that to my bid water is usually free on a city demo around here because it's city utility we also have to cap the sewer line around here and a licensed plumber has to at least ok it before it's covered up another thing you might want to check when doing a demo that all gets added to the bid hope you got the jobs and made some money
Do you put how many hours you think it would take you or just how much total your charging for in your proposal? One time I told the customer how long it I thought it would take and then it took me less time and he only paid me what I actually work since he kept track of the hours instead of the lump sum I charge him. I took it to court now. I'm just curious of how you get around this issue.
Sounds like your letting the customer walk all over you. You both agree to a price and scope of work. Once the work is done or another stage is hit, then pay is to be released at the given amount.
@@nursenic03 if you quote an hourly price and estimate 6 hrs and finish in 2 some places you just shot yourself in the foot if the customer keeps track of the hrs
I never give my customer the amount of time it's going to take for a job. Normally I walk in with confidence and give them a flat rate with everything factored in. Usually land the job. They just want it gone.
Never charge by the hour, figure how many hours for your bid but give a price for the job don't give any hour details that way if you can do it in 3 hours your done getting paid instead of milking it out several days to achieve your bid. It's also a advantage for customer because a hourly rate can also go way over if you're not experienced doing something for your first time. If you want to make more money bid by the job not the hour and never discuss hourly rate say you work by the job if customer asks 😉
How much much is a fair hourly rate for a job like this? I know a lot of people like to charge a certain amount per square foot but I'm a pretty good judge of time and I prefer to do my bids on the time spent on the job. Any info is greatly appreciated! I currently do lawns and landscaping and the business has really been watered down with part timers and Mexicans starting their own biz and undercutting the hell out of everyone
I've watch quite a few of your videos and I'm kinda confused.. are you paying these quotes or are they paying you? Are you reclaiming a lot of materials?
There's risks in anything my dad taught us as kids nothing worth doing is easy and no-one easy is worth doing my mom didn't find the humor in some of dad's lessons but he never steered us wrong in business or relationship advice
Wow this was a waste of an obvious process. Do the next video on car repair. Park the car turn off get tools repair things by taking off part put new one on

Alain Swanson For sure- Until you do it day after day- then anything turns into work. Plus its always a little stressful :0
Freak World, Your not lying. This is some very useful information.
I would let this guy date my sister he’s awesome

Stanley, I sincerely appreciate your content. It has helped me grow professionally, thank you from Louisville KY
That was cool demolition is my specialty!! Haha!! It's putting stuff back together where I struggle.
6 months to build- and one afternoon to take it all down. :)
Awesome video! Better than contractors school!
awesome channel! cheers!
Thanks Lucio!
Great video, thanks.
Good info on formula but was hoping for a rough estimate for a similar job. Just bought an old house on large lot that needs demo.
Did you find out?
Fantastic Video, This was an interesting project. you came up with a great plan. Enjoyed the video.
U said it took 3 days to demo that house.. why did it take 3 days? I figured a house that size would be done in one day.. thanks!
LOVE FROM CANADA
What about the power lines connecting to the house? How about the Breaker panel? How about water and gas? You just take an excavator to it ?
My thoughts exactly^^^
Utilities have to be disconnected most times the power company will leave the wire hang from the pole to the house because everything from the meter to the house belongs to the homeowner so they just pull their meter and as long as you don't damage the pole it's up to the demo company to remove the line from the house we always cut it at the top of the pole and the mast on the house toss it in the pickup and it goes to our recycle pile same with copper pipes and wiring in older houses we'll strip all that might want to check local and state laws before doing that my state is pretty relaxed on stuff like that Cali where my cousin lives that's considered criminal you can't keep anything from a demo it's all got to go in dumpsters where I live I can dump the burnable stuff in a pit in my pasture and burn it and recycle any metal and keep any salvageable lumber or anything

Great video! You make it sound so simple. Lol. It can be though!
After demoing projects for many years- you get it down to a pattern. The best part is anybody can do this work and make a good living.
How do you go about making sure the house is disconnected from water, electricity and gas?. And I know it depends on state , but generally are permits required for demo?. Thank you for any advice.
I was hoping Stan would answer this one, as it seems to be a common question. What exactly is the protocol before doing a similar demo?…
Perfect!
Thanks
Great job
How many dumpster usually need per house ? Maybe 1100 sqf ? Did he say 2-3-4 dumpster ? Or he said 2-40 ?
Nothing about disconnecting electric and water before hand?
Man you have so much knowledge thanks for sharing! How much would a house of that size cost the customer to get demolished?
That house ended up at $4,000 without the Dumpsters. Labor only
How much would yu charge to tear down house single wide house median & pill it up
What about site prep and grading for foundation how is that estimated
great advice
How much do we charge an hour?
so with machine fees is it 24 hour fee
Depends on the rental company some charge a minimum daily charge plus running hr charge some only a running hr charge if you only have it for a day or two some also have a damage deposit you get back as long as you don't abuse the machine shop around well before it's time to need a machine so you know the best rental company in the area some even drop off and pickup free depending on how big the job is
Does the customer pay for dumpster
I'm not sure in this instance but some when I bid jobs I always give a bid for what it would cost me to haul and dispose of it unless they want to get dumpsters and pay for that then I'll bid for just the demo I always give them the choice
I would have saved the windows and pulled out the wiring and old appliances for recycling and make ease a bit of money (if only a little)
Need advice
At my home town i got in to city bids and they have six houses up for demolish but im required to be responsible for the light,water and gas shot off. Of the house what should i charge for that per house.
Unless you want it to come out of your end
I always contact the utility companies and find out what they charge and add that to my bid water is usually free on a city demo around here because it's city utility we also have to cap the sewer line around here and a licensed plumber has to at least ok it before it's covered up another thing you might want to check when doing a demo that all gets added to the bid hope you got the jobs and made some money
how much do you charge per hours?@@davidwoermansr
this music makes me want to paint my nails holographic
What would the cost be like to do a demo on a tear down house like this with basement completely gone?
Stanley, thank You...
Johnny Mo' here.
Do you need or what kind of licensing you need to start a small residencial demolition services?
It differs you'd have to check your state and local laws
Do you put how many hours you think it would take you or just how much total your charging for in your proposal? One time I told the customer how long it I thought it would take and then it took me less time and he only paid me what I actually work since he kept track of the hours instead of the lump sum I charge him.

Charge by the sf. Keep the estimate vague.
Sounds like your letting the customer walk all over you. You both agree to a price and scope of work. Once the work is done or another stage is hit, then pay is to be released at the given amount.

good
Thanks, i do framing but someone is offering star a business in demo.
less then a days work 10 hours

I currently do lawns and landscaping and the business has really been watered down with part timers and Mexicans starting their own biz and undercutting the hell out of everyone
There's enough for everyone bud
How do you know they're Mexicans? They can be Guatemalans, salvadoreño, Honduran, Costa Ricans, Colombians 😂😂
What about asbestos?
Most places that has to be removed by specially licensed companies with special equipment
I've watch quite a few of your videos and I'm kinda confused.. are you paying these quotes or are they paying you? Are you reclaiming a lot of materials?
It can work both ways if you can reclaim stuff and make a little why not
3 Days are you fucking kidding me, just did one like this using 2 dump trailers knocked down and loaded in 4 hrs.
Who do you go threw for insurance
So much faster
Do you own that excavator or do u rent?
Own it- I have rented other ones in the past. I have three excavators -all different sizes and 2 TLB's.
Seems like there's lots of room for mistakes while running your own business I'd rather make a fraction of the money but not have to worry about it
What a go getter!!!
There's risks in anything my dad taught us as kids nothing worth doing is easy and no-one easy is worth doing my mom didn't find the humor in some of dad's lessons but he never steered us wrong in business or relationship advice
Not really
3 times 24 hours so you work round the clock lol rip of
Yeah, I caught that too...the building didn't look like much to bring down in the scheme of things, but 72 hrs to demo that seems excessive.
@@derricklanders4479 I think he meant 3 eight hour days
Yeah I'm sure it was 3 work days not 3 24 hr days
Wow this was a waste of an obvious process. Do the next video on car repair. Park the car turn off get tools repair things by taking off part put new one on
