Plain-language steps
House and building demolition requires more than equipment. UJUNKY helps customers understand the quote, asbestos inspection, utility disconnects, permit package, deposit, schedule, demolition, and cleanup process.
We review the project and send an official estimate.
UJUNKY reviews the property, project scope, access, condition, and goals, then sends an official demolition estimate so you understand the expected demolition work before moving forward.
Approve UJUNKY as your demolition contractor.
Once you are ready to proceed, you approve UJUNKY as your demolition contractor. That moves the project from quote review into inspection, utility disconnect, permit, deposit, scheduling, demolition, and cleanup planning.
Order the required inspection report.
For house and building demolition, an asbestos inspection report is generally required before the raze permit package can move forward. The report determines whether asbestos-containing materials are present before demolition begins.
Request electric, gas, and water disconnect letters.
While the asbestos inspection is being completed, request electric and gas service/device removal letters from WE Energies and a water shutoff letter from the City of Milwaukee Water Works or the appropriate water department.
Move forward or complete abatement if required.
If no asbestos is found, the project can continue toward the permit package while utility letters are gathered. If asbestos is found, abatement must be completed before demolition can proceed.
Handle asbestos abatement before demolition.
When asbestos is identified, abatement is handled separately because cost and timing depend on what the inspection report finds. UJUNKY explains the next step and helps coordinate the abatement path.
Provide the report and utility letters to UJUNKY.
Send UJUNKY the asbestos inspection report, electric disconnect letter, gas disconnect letter, water disconnect letter, and any abatement completion documentation if asbestos was found.
Pay deposit so UJUNKY can prepare permits and schedule the job.
After the required documents are ready, the customer pays a deposit. UJUNKY blocks scheduling and prepares the remaining permit package items, including the plumbing permit, erosion permit, water affidavit, bonding, insurance documentation, and related paperwork. Once approved, demolition and cleanup can proceed.
For house and building demolition, the customer needs to order the asbestos inspection report. UJUNKY explains when it is needed and what the report is used for, but the inspection report must be completed before the permit package can move forward.
The permit package needs proof that electric, gas, and water services have been properly disconnected or scheduled for removal. The customer should call WE Energies for electric and gas and the water department for water shutoff at the street.
While the asbestos report is being completed, the customer should begin requesting electric, gas, and water disconnect letters. Starting utility requests early helps prevent delays later.
If asbestos is found, abatement must be handled before demolition can proceed. UJUNKY can provide or coordinate the abatement service, and the abatement cost is separate because it depends on what the inspection report identifies.
UJUNKY moves into the permit package stage after the required inspection report, utility disconnect letters, and any required abatement documentation are ready. The customer also pays a deposit before UJUNKY blocks scheduling and prepares the remaining permit items.
UJUNKY prepares or organizes permit-related items such as the plumbing permit, erosion permit, water affidavit, bonding, insurance documentation, and other required paperwork needed to move the raze permit forward.
