Commercial & Residential Demolition in Northern California
From single-structure teardowns to multi-acre industrial demolition projects, Walberg, Inc. delivers safe, efficient demolition services backed by 26 years of experience.
Walberg, Inc. has been Northern California's trusted demolition contractor since 1999, handling projects ranging from residential home removals to large-scale commercial and industrial teardowns across Tehama, Butte, Shasta, Glenn, Colusa, and surrounding areas. As a licensed general engineering contractor (CSLB #898860) with A, C-21, C-22, ASB, and HAZ classifications, we bring the credentials, equipment, and field experience required for demolition projects of any size and complexity.
Our demolition capabilities cover the full spectrum of structural removal work. We perform complete building demolition for commercial facilities, warehouses, agricultural structures, and residential properties. Our team also executes precision partial demolitions where select portions of a structure must be removed while adjacent areas remain intact and protected. For projects involving hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead paint, or contaminated building components, we coordinate closely with licensed abatement contractors and follow all Cal/OSHA and DOSH protocols to ensure regulatory compliance and worker safety.
What sets Walberg apart from other demolition contractors in the region is our vertically integrated approach to debris management. Rather than simply loading demolition debris into trucks bound for distant landfills, we process and recycle materials on-site whenever feasible. Concrete and asphalt rubble can be crushed into reusable aggregate using our mobile crushing equipment, and salvageable materials are separated for recycling at our Walberg Rock facility in Corning. This approach reduces disposal costs for our clients and keeps recyclable material out of landfills.
Our track record includes significant demolition projects such as the ACC Willows Rice Dryer, the Corning Savemore building, Riley's Apartments, and the Eco Shell demolition. Each of these projects required careful planning, specialized equipment, and coordination with local authorities. With over 100 pieces of heavy equipment in our fleet — including high-reach excavators, hydraulic shears, concrete hammers, and breakers — we maintain the capability to mobilize quickly and execute demolition work on schedule. Our crew of 38 to 40 experienced operators and laborers ensures that every project is staffed appropriately from start to finish.

OUR PROCESS
How we deliver demolition.
Site Assessment & Pre-Demolition Survey
Our project manager visits the site to evaluate the structure, identify potential hazards including asbestos and lead, assess access constraints, and determine equipment requirements. We document existing conditions and coordinate utility disconnections with local providers.
Planning, Permitting & Safety Coordination
We prepare a detailed demolition plan, secure all required demolition permits from local jurisdictions, develop a site-specific safety plan, and coordinate with abatement contractors if hazardous materials are present. Neighboring property owners are notified as required.
Demolition Execution & Debris Processing
Our crews mobilize equipment to the site and begin systematic demolition according to the approved plan. Debris is sorted on-site for recycling where possible, and remaining material is loaded and hauled to appropriate disposal or recycling facilities.
Site Restoration & Final Walkthrough
After demolition is complete, we remove all debris, backfill below-grade areas as specified, grade the site to drain, and conduct a final walkthrough with the property owner or general contractor to confirm the scope has been fully met.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial demolition costs vary significantly based on the structure's size, construction type, presence of hazardous materials, and disposal requirements. A small commercial building might run $15,000 to $40,000, while large industrial teardowns can exceed $200,000. We provide free on-site estimates so you get an accurate quote specific to your project.
Yes, most demolition projects in Tehama County and surrounding jurisdictions require a demolition permit from the local building department. Walberg, Inc. handles the permitting process as part of our standard service, including any required notifications to utility companies and neighboring property owners.
A standard residential demolition can be completed in one to three days once permits are secured. Commercial and industrial projects typically take one to four weeks depending on the size and complexity. The permitting process usually adds two to four weeks of lead time before physical work begins.
Yes, we regularly perform selective and partial demolition. This requires careful structural engineering review and precise equipment operation to remove the targeted sections without damaging adjacent areas. Our operators are experienced in this type of precision demolition work.
We sort demolition debris on-site whenever possible. Concrete and asphalt are crushed and recycled into reusable aggregate at our Walberg Rock in Corning. Metals are separated for scrap recycling. Non-recyclable materials are hauled to licensed disposal facilities. This approach minimizes landfill waste and can reduce your project costs.
Walberg, Inc. holds ASB (asbestos) and HAZ (hazardous) classifications on our contractor's license (CSLB #898860) and is DOSH certified. For projects requiring asbestos abatement prior to demolition, we coordinate with licensed abatement specialists and ensure all regulatory requirements are met before structural demolition begins.
We serve Tehama, Butte, Shasta, Glenn, Colusa, and surrounding areas from our headquarters in Corning, CA. We have completed demolition projects throughout the Northern Sacramento Valley and can mobilize to locations across Northern California for larger projects.
