Demolition services in Mississauga
We take buildings down to the bones—and do it without cutting corners.
Whether you’re clearing a residential lot or dismantling a commercial structure, we bring experience, licensing, and the right equipment to get it done:
- Full house and building teardowns
- Garage, shed, and detached structure demolition
- Core drilling, Slab/flat sawing, Wire Sawing
- Site cleanup and safe debris disposal
We follow Ontario’s building and environmental regulations to the letter—so there are no surprises and no delays. Just clean, code-compliant work that clears the way for what’s next.
Not every job calls for a wrecking ball. Sometimes, you just need part of the structure gone, without damaging the rest. That’s where our selective deconstruction services in Mississauga come in:
- Exterior wall demolition
- Roof demolition
- “By-hand demolition” for delicate or confined spaces
- Precise removal of walls, floors, or ceilings
Our crews use advanced equipment and hand tools to remove only what’s necessary, leaving wiring, plumbing, and structural components untouched.
Every piece of removed material is sorted, salvaged where possible, and disposed of responsibly.
Perfect for remodels, retail retrofits, or heritage preservation projects. We work quietly, cleanly, and around your schedule.
We handle abatement like your health depends on it—because it does.
In a city like Mississauga, where many homes and buildings predate modern safety standards, you can’t afford to ignore what’s hiding behind the walls.
Whether it’s one room or an entire building, we eliminate hazards at the source and restore safe, livable conditions for your family or your tenants.
- Safe removal of asbestos
- Safe removal of lead-based materials
- Safe remediation of mold
- Proper disposal of contaminated materials
We’re trained and certified in hazardous materials abatement, and we don’t just meet the code, we exceed it.
We specialize in basement underpinning that transforms your damp, low-ceilinged space into a safe, dry, full-height foundation you can actually use—and profit from.
Whether you want to create a legal basement suite, home office, gym, or entertainment area, we handle every step with precision and professionalism:
- Basement lowering for livable space
- Crack repair and wall stabilization
- Full waterproofing solutions
- Safe and strategic excavation
By choosing Manpower Demolition for your basement underpinning, you’re not just getting more space—you’re adding real, measurable value to your home.
Disasters don’t give you time to plan. That’s why we don’t waste time responding.
Floods don’t just soak walls—they soak wallets, too. Mold growth, structural weakening, electrical damage—it all starts the moment water gets in. We’re equipped to move fast, dry everything out, and give you a proper assessment of structural integrity before long-term problems set in.
After a fire, the damage runs deeper than burnt drywall. Smoke, ash, chemical residue, and structural compromise all pose serious threats to your health and safety. Our fire recovery team acts quickly to contain hazards, assess stability, and begin safe demolition or restoration.
When fire or flood turns your home or building upside down, we show up fast—with the tools, training, and experience to stabilize, clean up, and get you back on track.
Top-Rated Demolition Company in mississauga
Mississauga isn’t just another jobsite—it’s a city with its own rhythm, regulations, and mix of new and old structures, and we understand what it takes to demo safely and legally in this city.
We work closely with city inspectors, utility companies, and local contractors to ensure seamless project coordination.
We leave every job clean, clear, and ready for what comes next. That’s why homeowners, builders, and business owners across Mississauga trust us with their demolition needs.
Demolition Permits in Mississauga
Every building demolition in Mississauga needs a demolition permit from the City’s Building Division. If the building contains a home, you also need a Demolition Control Permit under By-law 0045-2019. The City processes the two together.
What the Demolition Control Permit means for a house owner:
- Fewer than six units (a house, a semi, a duplex): the normal permit process and no extra fee.
- A rebuild deadline. The City can require the new building to be substantially complete by a set date, at least two years after demolition starts. If it isn’t, the City can add up to $20,000 per demolished unit to the property tax roll. The condition is registered on title.
- Already have the permit for your new house? The by-law says the control permit is issued where a building permit for the replacement has been issued. That’s why many owners apply for both together.
- Interior work can count. The by-law treats renovations that change the number of dwelling units, such as removing a basement apartment, as demolition.
- Skipping it is expensive. Demolishing a home without the permit can bring a fine of up to $50,000 for each unit.
For a house, you upload these to the City’s ePlans portal:
- Applicable Law Form
- Demolition Control Permit Declaration
- Schedule 1 Designer Information
- A metric site plan: north arrow, address, lot and plan numbers, property lines, easements, driveways and walkways, with every building marked “to be demolished” or “existing to remain”
Fees (1 February 2026 to 31 January 2027). The permit is $22.66 per 100 m² of floor area demolished, with a $244 minimum for a house. A house would need more than 1,000 m² of floor area to go past the minimum, so most homeowners pay $244. Garages, sheds and other accessory buildings are a flat $244. You pay a $50 prescreen fee when you apply, and it’s credited to the permit.
Timing. The City prescreens a request in about 7 to 10 business days. A complete residential application then gets its first review within 10 business days (20 for non-residential). Each round of corrections can add two weeks or more, so a complete package is the fastest route.
After the house is down, you may qualify for a property tax reduction under sections 357 and 358 of the Municipal Act. Ask the City’s property tax office (311).

Before Demolition: Utilities, Trees and Heritage
Water and sewer are Peel Region, not the City. Peel Region approves and inspects the water and wastewater disconnection. In 2026 the engineering and inspection fee is $1,480.73 for water and $1,480.73 for wastewater, plus refundable securities of $3,500 and $2,500. Peel needs at least 5 business days’ notice before the work starts, along with a Notification to Commence Work, a certificate of insurance, a WSIB clearance certificate and a road occupancy permit from the City of Mississauga.
Gas. Enbridge Gas stops the service. Call 1-877-362-7434 well before the demolition date.
Hydro. Alectra Utilities is the electricity supplier in Mississauga, and only Alectra can disconnect and remove its equipment for a demolition.
Locates. Underground locates for public and private property go through Ontario One Call (1-800-400-2255). Peel holds the contractor responsible for any damage to lines that weren’t located.
Utility removals are often the longest wait in the whole job, so start them as soon as you have a date.
Trees. Mississauga’s Private Tree Protection By-law covers every tree 15 cm (6 inches) or more in diameter, dead or dying ones included. You need a permit to remove one, and also to injure one, so plan where the machines and trucks will go. The base fee is $399.77 (HST included), plus $139.72 for each extra healthy tree. Dead trees have no fee. Construction projects need an arborist report, and the City has 30 business days to review a complete application. Expect to plant one replacement tree for every 15 cm of trunk removed.
Heritage. If the property is on the City’s heritage register as a listed property, you must give 60 days’ notice before demolishing. During that time the City can designate it, which stops the demolition. Designated properties, and properties in the Meadowvale Village, Old Port Credit Village and Streetsville heritage districts, need heritage approval. The City won’t issue the Demolition Control Permit until the heritage steps are done. Heritage planning: 905-615-3200 ext. 4061.
Asbestos and other designated substances. Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act requires the owner to find out which designated substances, such as asbestos and lead, are in the building before the work is tendered. Many Mississauga homes were built before the 1990s, when asbestos was still used in insulation, flooring and pipe wrap. If the survey finds any, it comes out first. See our abatement service.
Demolition Working Hours in Mississauga
The City allows construction noise Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. It isn’t allowed on Sundays or statutory holidays. Working outside those hours needs a noise exemption: the fee is $294.42 (HST included), and neighbours get two weeks to comment before the City decides.
Mississauga Neighbourhoods We Work In
We take on full demolition, selective and interior demolition, abatement and basement underpinning across the city: Port Credit, Lakeview, Mineola, Lorne Park, Clarkson, Cooksville, Mississauga Valley, City Centre, Erin Mills, Churchill Meadows, Meadowvale, Streetsville and Malton. Our crews come from our headquarters in Vaughan.
If the house is in Old Port Credit Village, Streetsville or Meadowvale Village, check the heritage rules above before anything else. All three are heritage conservation districts.
How a Mississauga Demolition Runs
- Site visit and written scope. We look at the building, access, trees and neighbours, and send a detailed estimate within 24–48 hours of the assessment.
- Designated substance survey, then abatement if anything is found.
- Permits on ePlans: demolition and Demolition Control, plus tree and heritage approvals if they apply.
- Utility disconnections: Peel water and sewer, Enbridge gas, Alectra hydro, and One Call locates.
- Demolition within the City’s permitted hours, with debris sorted and hauled away.
- Cleanup, leaving the lot ready for your builder.

– Dmalfara, Etobicoke
“We have used Manpower MANY Times! We couldn’t believe that they trademarked “no nail left behind,” but these crews didn’t mess around. Between every nail pulled, swept, and shop vac’ed. This demo company legitimately left it cleaner than most of the trades we have had on sites.”
– John, Orangeville
“First time using manpower demolition. Very pleased with the skill and size of crew. The job was broom-swept and vacuumed and completed in just over a half day. Great coordination and follow-through. Would highly recommend it to other GCs and contractors.”
– Alex, Toronto

– Jason, Toronto
“Manpower exceeded my expectations! I had selective demolition throughout the home. They do not miss a nail or screw. These guys will be my go-to from now on. They are fast and efficient, and work was done on time, and the worksite was left spotless”

Mississauga Demolition: Common Questions
Do I need a permit to demolish a house in Mississauga?
Yes. Every building demolition needs a demolition permit, and any building with a home in it also needs a Demolition Control Permit under By-law 0045-2019.
Do I have to rebuild after demolishing my house?
Usually, yes. The Demolition Control Permit can set a date for the new building to be substantially complete, at least two years after demolition starts. Missing it can add up to $20,000 per unit to your tax bill.
How long does a demolition permit take in Mississauga?
Prescreening takes about 7 to 10 business days, then a complete residential application gets its first review within 10 business days. Missing documents add more rounds, and each can add two weeks or more.
Can I cut down trees before the demolition?
Not trees 15 cm (6 inches) or more in diameter without a City permit, even if they’re dead. Construction projects also need an arborist report.
Can demolition happen on weekends?
Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., yes. Sundays and statutory holidays, no, unless the City grants an exemption.
Does interior demolition need a permit?
Removing finishes such as drywall, cabinets or flooring usually doesn’t. Changing load-bearing walls, plumbing or the number of units does, and the last one falls under Demolition Control. Check with the City (311) before you start.
What makes a demolition cost more?
The size of the building and what it’s made of, asbestos or other designated substances, tight access for machines and trucks, trees that need permits, and the utility disconnection fees. The City and Peel fees above are set amounts. The rest depends on the site, which is why we quote after a visit.
