01
Tearing Down 1960s Homes Near JBSA-Randolph
Drive Pat Booker toward the Randolph gate and you pass block after block of brick ranch houses built when the base was growing. Most still sit on their original slab with their original plumbing. When an owner or investor decides the numbers do not work for a remodel, house demolition Universal City style usually means one of these.
Homes from that era can carry old siding, floor tile or pipe wrap that needs testing before anything comes down. We get that sorted first, so the residential demolition itself runs clean and nothing surprises you halfway through.
02
Universal City Demolition Permits and Utility Cutoffs
The City of Universal City issues the permit before any house demolition Universal City crew can start a home teardown inside city limits. Before it does, electric, water and sewer have to be disconnected and the gas line capped. Each provider has its own timeline.
We file it, schedule the cutoffs, and keep calling until they are done. You do not have to spend your lunch break on hold.
03
Tight Lots and Shared Fence Lines in Older Subdivisions
Universal City lots are not big. Houses sit close, fences are shared, and the neighbor's carport might be eight feet from your wall. We size the machine to the lot, water down the dust, and set the debris trailer where it will not block the street.
Detached garages, carports and sheds can come down on the same trip through our garage and shed removal service. An old in-ground pool in the backyard? We can price pool removal on the same walkthrough.
04
Fire and Storm Damaged Houses in Universal City
Hail and wind come through northeast Bexar County most springs, and a house fire can leave a home standing but unsafe. If the structure is a hazard tonight, our 24/7 emergency demolition crew is close by.
Burned houses follow the same process as our fire-damaged home removal work. We talk to your insurance adjuster from the first call so the scope and the claim match.
05
What Drives House Demolition Cost in Universal City
The house demolition cost on a Universal City lot comes down to square footage, slab or pier foundation, access from the street or alley, and whether testing finds anything hazardous. A single-story brick ranch on a flat lot is about as straightforward as this work gets.
We price the slab, driveway and walks too, and can grade the lot for a builder through our lot clearing and site work crew. One written number, everything listed.

Universal City House Demolition Questions
What will it cost to demolish a house in Universal City?
It depends on size, foundation, access and what testing turns up. Most house demolition Universal City quotes for a single-story brick ranch are on the simpler end. We quote in writing, same or next day.
Who issues demolition permits in Universal City?
The City of Universal City, after utilities are disconnected and gas is capped. We handle the filing and the cutoff requests.
Do older homes need testing before demolition?
Often, yes. Houses from the 1960s and 70s can have materials that need testing first. We sort that out before the teardown starts.
Can you work on a small lot next to my neighbor?
Yes. We pick equipment that fits the lot, control dust, and keep debris off the neighbor's side of the fence.
Do you take out the slab and driveway too?
Yes. Slab, piers, driveway and walks can all come out, and we can leave the lot graded and ready for a builder.
Can you tear down a house after a fire?
Yes. We work with your insurance adjuster, take the structure down, and haul everything off. Call any hour if it is unsafe.
Is anything from my house recycled?
Usually. We pull reusable brick, lumber and metal where we can and recycle concrete instead of dumping it.
How fast can you get to Universal City?
Our yard is about 15 minutes away. We return every call within an hour, and start dates depend on permit and utility timing.
