<h4 style="color:#003d69;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;"><strong>Your demolition project</strong></h4>

<p>Dreaming about destroying your wall with a hammer? Although this idea may sound exciting, you should know that it is, unfortunately, best to entrust this type of project to a contractor.</p>

<h3 style="color:#737672;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;"><strong>Why hire a contractor for your demolition project?</strong></h3>

<p>The reasons are as numerous as they are varied: the use of heavy machinery, the risks presented for safety as well as the requirements for time management and work planning.</p>

<h3 style="color:#737672;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;"><strong>Demolition: a question of safety and equipment</strong></h3>

<p>Demolition work requires many tools that ordinary people do not store in their garage: hydraulic hammers, skid steers, excavators and more.</p>

<p>Since demolition contractors have access to this equipment and know how to use it in a safe way, logically they are the best place to carry out any project involving them.</p>

<p>Secondly, you should know that any bad initiative can be expensive and even disastrous in the worst case.</p>

<p>On this point, it should be emphasized that only a contractor with solid experience will be able to guarantee that the work will be carried out without inflicting damage to the structure.</p>

<h3 style="color:#737672;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;"><strong>Hiring a contractor: for which demolition projects?</strong></h3>

<p>Here are some examples of demolition projects for which you should do business with a contractor:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Building a home extension;</li>
	<li>Driveway renovation;</li>
	<li>Removing a pool;</li>
	<li>Installing a new patio.</li>
</ul>

<h4 style="color:#003d69;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;"><strong>Do you want to demolish a non-load bearing wall?</strong></h4>

<p>First of all, are you sure your wall is non-load bearing? A non-load bearing wall will usually sound hollow due to the fact that it is thinner than a load-bearing wall. The latter, for its part, is usually an exterior wall or an interior wall somehow linked to the structure of the house.</p>

<p>In addition, be aware that a concrete or brick wall is often load-bearing due to its greater thickness. Another important fact: a load-bearing wall will generally be placed parallel to the main beam.</p>

<p>Finally, note that the best thing would be to call on a specialist to make sure that no mistake is made in the identification of load-bearing and non-load bearing walls.</p>
