Demolition
Demolition is where every major restoration and redevelopment project begins — and getting it wrong risks safety, property damage, and costly delays. STOS Environmental LLC is a licensed demolition contractor serving Phoenix and all of Arizona with safe, precise, and fully compliant demolition for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
Whether you need a single interior wall removed for a remodel or a complete structural teardown to make way for new construction, our team brings the heavy equipment, certified personnel, and rigorous safety protocols to get the job done right. We handle selective demolition, full structural demolition, and everything in between — always focused on protecting people, adjacent structures, and the environment.
Every demolition project is different, which is why STOS tailors its approach to the specific structure, site, and goal. Selective interior demolition — removing walls, flooring, ceiling systems, and fixtures while preserving the rest of the building — is ideal for remodels and renovations. Full structural demolition, on the other hand, requires engineered preparation, proper shoring, and heavy equipment to bring a building down safely and efficiently.
Our demolition process prioritizes safety at every step. We begin with a thorough site assessment and utility locating to identify and disconnect electrical, gas, water, and sewer lines before any work starts. We establish containment and dust control where needed, and we follow strict OSHA and EPA guidelines throughout. Once demolition is complete, we handle debris removal and hauling, leaving your site clean, level, and ready for the next phase of construction.
Why does professional demolition matter so much? In Arizona's climate, structural integrity and soil conditions can shift, and improper demolition can destabilize neighboring structures or damage underground utilities. An unlicensed or under-equipped crew can turn a straightforward teardown into an expensive liability. STOS brings licensed, insured, and bonded credentials, years of hands-on experience, and the right machinery for the job — from excavators and skid steers to specialized attachment tooling.
We work on residential properties, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities across the greater Phoenix area and statewide. No project is too big or too small: we clear single-family home sites, gut office interiors, and take down warehouses and industrial structures with the same care and professionalism. Our satisfaction guarantee means we don't consider the job done until you're completely satisfied.

Our Process
- 1
Site assessment & utility locating
We inspect the structure, map the scope, and disconnect or cap all electrical, gas, water, and sewer lines before a single wall comes down.
- 2
Permitting & planning
We secure the necessary permits and engineer a safe demolition plan — including shoring and dust control — tailored to your structure and site.
- 3
Demolition & deconstruction
Our certified operators bring down the structure safely and precisely, using selective interior demolition or full structural teardown as your project requires.
- 4
Debris removal & clean site
We haul away all debris, leave the site clean and level, and hand you a clear, ready-to-build foundation for the next phase.
FAQs
Demolition cost depends on the structure's size, materials, and access, plus any hazardous materials like asbestos that must be abated first. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know the exact price before work begins — call 480-819-5903.
Most structural demolition projects require a permit. STOS handles permitting and regulatory compliance for you, ensuring your project is done safely and legally from day one.
Yes. Full structural demolition includes foundation removal where required. We'll assess your site and include foundation and slab removal in your estimate if your project calls for it.
Smaller selective interior demolition can be done in a day or two, while full structural teardown and debris removal typically takes several days to a week depending on size and site conditions. We'll give you a clear timeline up front.
