Complete Demolition Toronto

Residential Demolition

Old house, unsafe structure, or just ready for something new—our residential demolition services are the cleanest way to start over.

Our team approaches every home with a blend of engineering expertise, respect for your property, and surgical precision.

We offer:

  • Full house teardowns, including foundations and basements
  • Interior gut-outs for major renovations
  • Garage, shed, deck and chimney demolition
  • Concrete patio, driveway, and pool removal
  • Environmentally responsible disposal and recycling of materials
  • Electric sawing for indoor work with zero fumes and low noise, perfect for tight neighborhoods and occupied spaces

Whether you need a complete teardown or just part of the structure removed, we tailor our process to suit your exact needs — safely, quickly, and with full regulatory compliance.

Commercial Demolition

Toronto’s commercial properties require a different level of planning and execution than most demolition companies are used to. That’s why you need a team that has experience in the technical, legal, and logistical details of commercial demolition.

Here’s how we can help:

  • Full structural dismantling of office buildings, strip plazas, industrial warehouses, and retail spaces
  • Interior commercial strip-outs for restaurants, malls, and office conversions
  • Traffic control and public safety measures on busy commercial sites
  • Coordination with city inspectors and permit offices

We’re not the company that disappears after the teardown either. We handle all cleanup, material separation, and safe disposal, ensuring you have a development-ready site with zero surprises.

Selective Deconstruction Toronto

Residential and commercial Deconstruction

Selective deconstruction is more than just taking things apart—it’s an art form that demands skill, planning, and extreme attention to detail.

Whether you’re upgrading a single room, preserving historical charm, or following sustainable building practices, our team ensures that only what needs to go is removed—nothing more, nothing less.

Our selective deconstruction services include:

  • Clean removal of walls, ceilings, floors, or specific building sections
  • By-hand demolition for tight or sensitive spaces
  • Responsible salvage and recycling of reusable materials
  • Accurate dismantling of roof structures or exterior walls

And it’s all done with one goal in mind: to set your renovation project up for success without turning your space into a construction warzone.

Deconstruction With Surgical Precision

A poor deconstruction job can derail your entire renovation. We’ve seen it too many times. Let’s break down what you won’t get with Manpower Demolition:

Dust Invasion: Dust from careless demolition work can get into your vents, settle into your furniture, and linger in the air for weeks. We seal off our work zones and use professional-grade air filtration to ensure your home stays dust-free.

Unintended Damage: With us, you don’t have to worry about the parts of your home you’re keeping. Our crew uses protective barriers and precise techniques to avoid damage to surrounding structures. No cracked tiles, no dented floors, no regrets.

Life Turned Upside Down: We’ve built our process around minimizing the impact on your daily routine. Our work is clean, quiet, and fast—so you can keep living your life while your space transforms behind the scenes.

Lead & Asbestos Abatement Toronto

Don’t Let Hidden Hazards Wreck Your Project

Hazardous materials aren’t a maybe. They’re a guarantee in older buildings, and a risk in many newer ones. Here’s what you’re up against:

Health Hazards – This isn’t some abstract risk. If disturbed without proper containment, these materials go airborne—and you breathe them in. Every day they’re in your home or job site, they’re putting lives at risk.

Project Disasters – Think you can just demo that old ceiling and move on? Think again. Discovering asbestos mid-project can stop work in its tracks, trigger expensive testing, and cause fines for non-compliance.

Legal Liabilities – Ontario has strict laws for handling hazardous substances. And if your contractor isn’t licensed, insured, and following every protocol to the letter? You’re the one holding the bag when regulators come knocking.

Safe, Thorough and Certified Abatement in Toronto

At Manpower Demolition, we handle abatement like your health depends on it—because it does.

Asbestos Abatement – Found in insulation, drywall compound, ceiling tiles, and even flooring adhesives, it becomes deadly when disturbed. We use industry-leading containment methods, negative air machines, HEPA filters, and full PPE to ensure safe removal with zero cross-contamination.

Lead Paint Removal – Lead paint was banned decades ago, but it still lurks on doors, window frames, and baseboards in homes and buildings across Toronto. Our team tests for lead, seals off affected areas, and uses certified removal techniques that exceed provincial regulations.

Mold Remediation – We identify the root cause, isolate the area, and remove not just the mold—but also spores, moisture, and any structural material that poses a risk. Our goal? A dry, clean, and healthy space that stays that way.

Basement Underpinning Toronto

Why Basement Underpinning?

Foundation issues? Cracks? Water damage? If you think ignoring them will save you money, think again. They’ll drain your wallet faster than a leaky pipe. Here’s the real cost of doing nothing:

  • Property Value Nosedive – Cracks in the foundation? Uneven floors? That’s a red flag to every buyer and appraiser. Your home’s value drops—and fast. Good luck selling or refinancing.
  • Flooded, Moldy, Health-Hazard Basement – Toronto basements take a beating. One bad rainstorm and that little crack becomes Niagara Falls. Mold moves in, air quality goes down, and your home starts working against you.
  • Wasted Living Space – Your basement could be your family’s game room, home theater, or even a rental unit. But with low ceilings and sketchy structure? It’s just wasted potential.

Underpinning is how you transform a damp, low-ceiling dungeon into a bright, livable space with real value—and rock-solid structural integrity.

Underpinning services in toronto

We don’t just patch cracks—we rebuild confidence. Here’s how we can help Toronto home owners:

Basement Lowering – Want 8-foot ceilings where there used to be 6? We’ll dig deeper, safely. Whether it’s for a rental unit or a family space, we’ll give your basement height, light, and livability.

Waterproofing – We stop leaks before they start. From sump pump installs to exterior membrane systems, we keep your basement dry, mold-free, and ready for anything Toronto’s weather throws at it.

Excavation – Our crew handles excavation with care—no accidental foundation shifts, no cracked walls. Just clean, careful work done by pros who know what’s at stake.

Crack Repairs – A hairline crack might seem small. Until it turns into a structural nightmare. We find the root cause and fix it right—so it doesn’t come back.

Emergency restoration Toronto

Water Damage Restoration in Toronto

The damage doesn’t stop when the water’s gone. Mold spores, rot, structural instability—if you don’t act fast, water damage becomes a long-term health hazard. We come in swinging with:

  • Rapid Water Extraction: High-powered vacuums and pumps eliminate standing water in minutes—not hours.
  • Industrial Dehumidification: We install air movers and commercial-grade dehumidifiers to dry your property from the inside out.
  • Structural Drying: Wood, concrete, drywall—we extract moisture at the core to prevent warping, buckling, and mold.
  • Mold Prevention & Remediation: We don’t wait for mold to show up. We stop it before it starts.
  • Hazardous Material Handling: If your flood exposed sewage, chemicals, or fuel—our trained crew contains and removes it safely.
  • Building Assessment: We evaluate the structural integrity of flood-impacted buildings and provide emergency stabilization.

Fire Damage Restoration in Toronto

What’s left after the fire trucks leave can kill your project and your budget. Toxic ash, weakened beams, and chemical spills aren’t just dangerous. They’re legally regulated. And if you don’t handle them properly, you’re looking at heavy fines and a massive rebuild delay.

We can help you with:

  • Rapid Site Evaluation: We assess fire damage immediately—no delays, no guesswork.
  • Structural Stabilization: Our crew shores up fire-weakened walls, ceilings, and beams to keep the property safe during cleanup.
  • Controlled Demolition: If it’s beyond saving, we tear it down strategically, minimizing impact to surrounding structures.
  • Debris Removal: From charred furniture to chemical-soaked drywall—we remove it all, safely and thoroughly.
  • Toxic Material Containment: Fires release asbestos, lead, and other toxins. Our certified team contains and removes them legally and safely.
