Why Hire Professionals for Light Demolition

While some homeowners may attempt DIY demolition, light demolition services ensure safety, efficiency, and a clean finish. Here’s why hiring a professional team like Schott Services is the smart choice:

1. Safety: Old structures can have sharp edges, rusty nails, or unstable supports. Professionals bring the right tools and protective gear.

2. Efficiency: Tasks that could take a weekend are completed in just a few hours with the right equipment.

3. Proper Debris Removal: We not only tear down the structure but also haul debris away for responsible disposal.

4. Yard Protection: Our mini skid steer allows us to move heavy materials without damaging landscaping or lawns.

The Equipment: Vermeer 925 Mini Skid Steer

For light demolition projects, the Vermeer 925 mini skid steer is an essential tool. Compact but powerful, it’s perfect for residential areas with limited space. The skid steer can use multiple attachments, including:

• Buckets: For debris and heavy material removal

• Grapples: For picking up large or awkward pieces of metal, wood, or plastic

• Forks: For lifting heavier panels safely

Using the mini skid steer, we can complete light demolition quickly, safely, and without unnecessary labor.

Step-by-Step: Removing an Old Awning

Here’s how we handled this light demolition project:

1. Inspection and Planning

Before starting, we assess the site for:

• Overgrown vegetation that might block equipment

• Landscaping that must be protected

• Potential hazards like rusted nails or weak supports

Planning ensures the job goes smoothly and safely.

2. Disassembly

We begin breaking down the awning into manageable pieces using hand tools and saws. This makes lifting and hauling easier and minimizes risk of injury.

3. Heavy Lifting with the Mini Skid Steer

Once the structure is dismantled, our Vermeer 925 mini skid steer handles the heavy lifting. With attachments like a grapple or bucket, large panels are moved and loaded for removal quickly and efficiently.

4. Cleanup and Hauling

After the awning is removed, we haul all debris away and clean the site, leaving the property safe, clean, and ready for its next use.
