Memorial Day Prep: Safe Demolition & Site Clearance for Your Next Project

Published on Apr 28, 2025


 You know Memorial Day is right around the corner when your neighbor starts pressure-washing his driveway like he’s uncovering ancient ruins. Everybody’s getting the itch to clean, fix, or build something.

But before you haul out a sledgehammer and start swinging like you’re auditioning for an action movie, let’s slow down a second.

If you’re thinking about a big summer project—like tearing down that old shed, gutting the inside of your building, or finally dealing with the weird crumbling structure in the backyard—you need real demolition pros. And no, your buddy with a pickup truck and a dream doesn’t count.

Welcome to R & M Asbestos & Demolition, Seattle’s trusted team for safe demolition and site clearance. We make sure your project kicks off right—no surprises, no lawsuits, no “whoops, that used to be load-bearing” moments.

Memorial Day: A Great Excuse to Start Fresh

Memorial Day isn’t just about grilling burgers and wearing sunglasses you forgot you owned—it’s the unofficial kickoff to summer projects. Everyone’s ready to make big moves. New construction. Remodeling. Upgrades. You name it.

But here’s the deal: you can’t build something amazing if your property still looks like a scene from a post-apocalyptic video game.
That’s why professional demolition services are crucial. Before you can create, you’ve got to clear.
Site clearance isn’t just about knocking stuff down—it’s about prepping your space safely, efficiently, and legally.
(We can’t stress that "legally" part enough. Turns out the city of Seattle has some very strong feelings about unauthorized DIY demolition.)

Safe Demolition: It's Kind of Our Thing

We’re not just here for the dramatic moments where a wall falls and everyone high-fives. (Though, those are nice too.)

At R & M Asbestos & Demolition, we do controlled demolition and site clearance by the book—so you don’t end up making the evening news for all the wrong reasons.

Here’s what we offer:

We show up ready. We manage the permits. We protect the surrounding structures. We contain the debris. We handle the asbestos if we find it (and trust us, in Seattle, we always check).

Don't Forget About Asbestos (Seriously, Don’t)

Since we brought it up—asbestos is like that weird cousin who shows up uninvited to family gatherings. It’s lurking where you least expect it: floor tiles, insulation, old pipes, popcorn ceilings. If your structure was built before 1980, the odds are pretty good there’s asbestos hiding somewhere inside.

And you definitely don’t want to start a demolition project without checking.
Not unless you enjoy the idea of breathing in microscopic fibers that could make your lungs regret ever trusting you.

Luckily, we’re not just demolition experts. We’re also a licensed asbestos removal company in Seattle.
We offer:

If we find it, we handle it safely, legally, and without turning your property into a quarantine zone.
(We show up in suits, but not the flashy kind. More like, "Hey, we’re here to save your life" suits.)
