Let’s talk about summer in Seattle. You’ve got the sunshine, the barbecues, the terrifying number of cargo shorts—and of course, the fireworks. Fourth of July rolls around and everyone’s lighting up the sky like they’ve never seen color before. It’s a whole vibe.
But here’s the thing. If your old building is popping, cracking, and exploding before the fireworks even start? That’s not festive. That’s a code violation.
Welcome to R & M Asbestos & Demolition—where we believe that things should only explode on purpose. And preferably, not your garage.
Seattle’s a beautiful city, but we’ve got more than our fair share of old structures held together by rust, regret, and maybe a bird’s nest or two. That leaning shed out back? That weird second-story addition your uncle built in the 90s with zero permits? If it creaks every time the wind blows, it might be trying to tell you something.
And what it’s saying is:
"Help. Tear me down. Preferably by someone insured."
That’s us. We’re the licensed demolition contractors in Seattle who’ll come in, handle the demolition process safely, cleanly, and without setting off your neighbor’s ring cam with a spontaneous collapse.
You ever see someone try to DIY a demolition? Yeah, it’s a mix between a YouTube fail and a live insurance claim. One second you’re knocking out drywall, the next you’ve taken out your plumbing and your marriage.
Our demolition services? Fully professional. Fully permitted. Zero chaos.
We offer:
Residential demolition – That old garage? Gone. That weird tiki bar your house came with? Also gone.
Commercial demolition – Ready to revamp that retail space or office? We’ll clear the path.
Interior demolition – Kitchens, basements, bathrooms. We’ll strip it down without wrecking everything else.
Selective demolition – Just want to remove some of the building, not all of it? That’s our sweet spot.
Controlled demolition – Because not everything needs a wrecking ball. Some jobs need precision.
Demolition and debris removal – We don’t leave you with the mess. We clean it up and haul it out.
We’ve seen it all: fire hazards, collapsing beams, exposed wires that make you question every decision you’ve made since buying the place. And yet, people wait until after the damage is done to call someone.
Here’s a wild idea: demolish the dangerous stuff before it becomes a public safety announcement.
Take care of that structure now, enjoy your summer, and maybe don’t become the reason your neighborhood HOA starts enforcing rules for once.
We’re not just demolition pros. We’re also certified asbestos removal specialists in Seattle. Because let’s be honest—if your house is old enough to still have a VCR rewinder somewhere in a drawer, there’s probably asbestos in it too.
That’s right. Your Fourth of July shouldn’t come with a side of airborne carcinogens.
Here’s what we offer:
Asbestos inspection – We check it out.
Asbestos testing – We lab it up.
Asbestos abatement – We safely remove it.
Asbestos remediation – We clean it thoroughly.
Certified asbestos removal – No guesswork. Just safety.
Asbestos and demolition packages – Like a combo meal, but for your house.
We do residential and commercial asbestos removal, because danger doesn’t discriminate by zip code.
Step 1: Site Evaluation
We check the structure, look for hazards (asbestos included), and come up with a demolition game plan that won’t end in sirens.
Step 2: Permits and Preparation
We deal with the paperwork so you don’t have to explain anything awkward to city inspectors.
Step 3: Demolition
Our crew gets to work, removing what needs to go with the right tools, machinery, and safety gear. No random swinging. No surprises.
Step 4: Debris Removal
We clean it up so your yard doesn’t look like a war zone. This isn’t a post-apocalyptic movie set.
Step 5: Clearance and Final Walkthrough
We make sure it’s all good, safe, clean, and ready for the next phase of your project.
Look, we love the character of this city. But some of that “character” is literally falling apart.
You don’t need to be scared of your crawl space. You don’t need to wonder if the porch is going to give out during your July cookout. If you’re eyeing a project this summer—whether you’re remodeling, rebuilding, or finally taking care of the “leaning tower of backyard” situation—we can help.
And bonus: when you remove the unsafe stuff, you can finally enjoy that fresh start. Build that new ADU. Expand that business. Or just enjoy a backyard that doesn’t feel like a trip hazard.
The time to call us is before things start crumbling. Not during. Not after. And definitely not after a neighborhood kid lights a Roman candle too close to your shed.
