What we tear down

House demolition is most of what we do. Some are fire damaged, some are rentals that got too far gone to fix. Others are old family homes on a lot someone wants to build on. A mini excavator takes the structure down, and the material loads into containers.

Old single-wides and double-wides have their own page for tearing down an old mobile home. Small commercial buildings come down the same way as a house. Outbuildings have their own page, which covers carport, metal shed and pole barn teardowns. Thick brush around a building becomes land clearing on overgrown lots.

What happens to the slab after a tear-down

A house or mobile home sits on a slab or on piers. The slab and footings can come out on the same job. Some owners keep a sound slab for the next build, so we ask before anything breaks. Driveways, patios, walkways and slabs with no building on them have their own page for concrete driveway and slab removal.

Broken concrete is heavy, so it loads into roll-off containers and leaves the site. Construction debris goes to an approved landfill, and Louisiana forbids burning it on the lot. Leveling the lot afterward is land grading, and a new house pad is dirt work. Old piles left from a storm are their own job, covered on debris removal after a storm.

Do you need a permit to tear down a house near New Iberia?

Inside New Iberia city limits, yes. The city's Permit and Inspection Department issues demolition permits, and its rules cover demolishing a house or other structure. Outside the city limits, the Iberia Parish Permit Office covers building codes for the parish, so check there first. Other parishes and towns run their own offices, including Lafayette Consolidated Government for demolition in Lafayette.

Louisiana's asbestos rules sit on top of the local permit. LDEQ's asbestos rule for demolition exempts a residential building with four or fewer dwelling units, as long as it is not part of what LDEQ calls an installation, is not tied to a planned commercial or public project and is not intentionally burned. Commercial work, and houses tied to a planned project, fall under the rule, and those jobs can need a notification filed with LDEQ at least 10 working days ahead.

FAQ

Demolition Questions, Answered

Common questions about demolition across New Iberia and all of Acadiana. If yours is not here, call and ask.

Call (337) 201-0594

What drives the cost of a demolition job?
Every tear-down gets a free estimate. Cost moves with the size of the structure, how it was built, and how much leaves the site. Access matters too, since a tight lot slows the machines down. Slab thickness, rebar, and the haul to an approved landfill also move the number.
Do you handle mobile home demolition?
Yes. Mobile home demolition is regular work for us around New Iberia and the rest of Acadiana. We pull the skirting, steps and any add-on porch, then cut the body into sections a machine can lift. Everything rides out in roll-off containers. The pad and tie-downs come out too. The whole job is laid out on our mobile home demolition page.
What has to happen before demolition starts?
Louisiana 811 gets the first call. State law puts that notice on the excavator or demolition contractor. It has to go in at least 48 hours ahead, not counting weekends and holidays. Utility lines then get marked in the yard. Power, gas and water need cutting off at the meter before anything comes down.
What if the building has asbestos in it?
Asbestos removal in Louisiana is handled by an asbestos abatement contractor accredited by LDEQ. We schedule the tear-down around that work. LDEQ's asbestos rule for demolition exempts a residential building with four or fewer dwelling units, unless it is part of what LDEQ calls an installation, tied to a planned commercial or public project or intentionally burned. Commercial buildings, and houses tied to a planned commercial or public project, follow the notification path instead.
How far do you travel for demolition work?
We cover roughly 35 to 50 miles around New Iberia. That takes in Iberia, Lafayette, St. Martin, Vermilion, St. Landry, Acadia and St. Mary parishes. Bayou Teche towns sit close by, so ask about demolition in Breaux Bridge. Call (337) 201-0594 for a free estimate on your lot.

Why Choose Elite

Why Property Owners and Contractors Call Us

Equipment That Fits the Lot

Compact excavators and a track loader work in town lots, back yards and farm gates. Tight access rarely stops a job, and the ground takes less damage than it would under bigger machines.

Based in New Iberia

We live and work here, so Iberia Parish and the towns around it are short runs. Estimates happen fast and the machines show up when the schedule says they will.

One Contractor, Whole Job

Teardown, stumps, dirt, culvert, driveway: the same outfit can carry a property from overgrown or condemned to pad-ready. One schedule and one number instead of four subcontractors.

Free Estimates That Hold

We price after looking at the property, the access and the ground. You get a real number before work starts, and the site is left clean when it ends.
