About the Service

Demolition Contractors, Done Right

Demolition is planning as much as power: utilities disconnected, hazards identified, dust controlled and debris sorted and hauled. We bring excavators with demolition attachments and the trucks to take everything away, then rough grade the site so you can build, seed or sell.

We handle full structures, partial demolition for additions and the removal of slabs, footings and foundations, and we coordinate with the permit office and utilities.

Music City Excavation brings demolition contractors to homes, farms and businesses in Nashville and across 16 Middle Tennessee cities.

Questions About Demolition Contractors

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

Do I need a permit to demolish a building?

Usually yes, and some buildings need surveys or utility disconnect confirmations first. We help you with the process for your address.

What about asbestos or hazardous materials?

Older buildings can contain materials that need special handling by qualified professionals before demolition. We tell you when that may apply and coordinate with them.

What happens to the debris?

We sort and haul it to proper facilities and recycle clean concrete, brick and metal where we can.
