When you hear the words "demolition company," you probably picture excavators, sledgehammers and buildings coming down. That's certainly part of what we do at Goodelman Demolition, but it is far from the whole story.
Over the years, our work has expanded because our customers needed more from us. A demolition job often comes with debris that needs to be removed, dumpsters that need to be delivered, damaged materials that need to be cleared out and job sites that need to be ready for whatever comes next.
Here are 10 reasons Goodelman Demolition is much more than just a demolition company.
1. We Handle Demolition of All Sizes
Yes, demolition is still at the heart of what we do. But not every demolition project means knocking down an entire building.
We handle everything from bathroom and kitchen gut-outs to interior demolition, exterior demolition, siding, roofing materials, decks, additions and complete structural tear-downs. If only part of a property needs to come out, our crews know how to work carefully around the areas that are staying.
2. We Handle the Debris Too
Taking something apart is only half the job. Then you have to figure out what to do with everything that came out.
Debris removal is a major part of our business. Instead of leaving a property owner or contractor with piles of material and another company to call, we can handle the removal as part of the job.
That means fewer phone calls, fewer schedules to coordinate and one less thing to worry about.
3. We Offer Dumpster Rentals
Sometimes you don't need our demolition crew. You just need a dumpster.
Goodelman offers 10, 20, 30 and 40-yard dumpsters for projects throughout Long Island and the surrounding areas. Whether you're renovating a home, cleaning out a property or managing an active construction site, we can provide the container and handle the hauling.
Same-day delivery may also be available when timing is critical.
4. No Room for a Dumpster? We Can Still Help
Not every property has a driveway or open space for a dumpster. That is especially common on tighter properties and jobs throughout New York City.
That doesn't mean you're stuck with the debris.
Our crews can provide debris pickup and hauling for jobs where placing a traditional dumpster isn't practical. We work with the space available and figure out the best way to get the material off the property.
5. We Handle Construction Clean-Ups
Construction debris has a way of piling up quickly. Wood, drywall, flooring, packaging, old fixtures and other materials can take over a job site before you know it.
Goodelman provides construction clean-up and debris removal, including scheduled weekly or bi-weekly pickups when needed. Contractors can keep working instead of losing valuable time dealing with accumulated debris.
6. We Respond to Water and Fire Damage
Some demolition projects aren't planned at all.
Water losses, flooding and fires can leave behind drywall, insulation, flooring, ceilings and other materials that need to be removed quickly. We regularly work on these types of projects, helping clear damaged materials so drying, remediation, repairs and reconstruction can move forward.
When something happens unexpectedly, getting the damaged material out is often one of the first steps toward getting the property back.
7. We Work With Mold and Asbestos Situations
Demolition gets more complicated when mold or asbestos is involved. These aren't materials that should simply be torn out and tossed into a dumpster.
Goodelman has experience working on projects involving mold and asbestos remediation, helping property owners, contractors and remediation professionals properly address affected areas.
Knowing what you're dealing with before demolition starts can save a lot of problems later.
8. We Know How to Work Around What's Staying
A good demolition crew isn't judged only by what they remove. They're also judged by what they don't damage.
On selective demolition projects, there may be walls, floors, cabinets, exterior materials or other areas that need to remain untouched.
That takes patience and experience. Our goal is to remove what needs to go while protecting what doesn't.
9. We Keep the Job Moving
One of the biggest frustrations on any construction or restoration project is waiting for the next company to show up.
If the demolition company finishes but the debris is still sitting there, the job isn't really finished.
By offering demolition, dumpsters, hauling, debris removal and clean-up, Goodelman can eliminate some of those gaps. When our portion of the job is complete, the goal is to leave the site ready for the next crew.
10. We Solve the Problem, Not Just the Demolition
This may be the biggest difference.
Most customers don't wake up thinking, "I need demolition." They have a damaged bathroom, a flooded basement, an old structure, a renovation project, a pile of construction debris or a property that needs to be cleared.
They have a problem that needs to be handled.
That's how we look at every job.
Sometimes the answer is a demolition crew. Sometimes it's a dumpster. Sometimes it's debris removal. Sometimes it's a combination of all three.
