Backwell self performs every residential demolition trade in house, including asbestos abatement (NYS DOL licensed). One phone call, one contract, one crew from permit pull through site restoration. Service area covers Onondaga, Oswego, Madison, Oneida, Cayuga, Cortland, Wayne, and Jefferson counties.
Most residential demolition contractors in CNY subcontract asbestos to a separate firm. Backwell holds NYS Department of Labor asbestos handler and contractor licenses and performs abatement in house. For a typical pre 1980 home with asbestos floor tile, pipe insulation, and possibly siding, this saves the homeowner the cost of two separate contractors and weeks of coordination.

Yes. NYS DOL requires testing of suspect materials before any demolition disturbance for buildings constructed before 1980. Backwell performs both the testing and the abatement in house if asbestos is confirmed.
Site visit within 5 business days of your call. Written estimate within 2 business days of the site visit. Demo work usually starts 2 to 6 weeks out depending on permit turnaround and abatement scope. Faster on emergency or insurance billed jobs.
