People who flip homes for a living often form a network of important professional contacts to further their business. Real estate agents, investors, electricians, and other contractors are necessary to locate, purchase, and fix up a run-down home for profit.

You may be missing out on further growth if you lack a good relationship with a dependable demolition expert. Here are three instances a residential demolition partner can help you flip homes the right way.

1. Tear Down Ugly Eye-Sores

Sometimes a property contains out-buildings or other structures that are ugly or run-down and detract from the curb appeal, value, and safety of a home. You have to completely get rid of any ugly or dilapidated structures before you can make improvements and flip the home you've bought. Consider a few common things you may need to remove during your flip:



• Old, crumbling backyard storage sheds
• Detached garages with structural damage
• Failed "She Sheds" that take up valuable space on a small lot
• Old fences and gates
• Unused swimming pools



Your demolition partner can assess how best to tear down and remove these and other ugly real estate distractions.



Not only will the property site become safer and more visually appealing but you free up outdoor space so you can really get to work on the main home structure. Roof repairs and landscape plans are easier to tackle when unnecessary outdoor structures are eliminated.

2. Assist with Home Renovations

Sometimes your initial purchase of a property hinges on the physical condition of the structure. A home with too much structural damage isn't worth your time and money, but a home with only minor damage can still turn a tidy profit. However, before renovations can start, you and your team first need to determine what changes a home requires.

A demolition expert can assist in ways you didn't expect before other contractors descend and begin work on the electrical, plumbing, HVAC, paint, and flooring. Site demolition removes only small portions of a home and can alter the house in subtle ways. For example, you can have a wall knocked down to make the main floor more of an open concept.

Site demolition can also be used to increase the square footage of your home. For example, you could tear out a small, dated kitchen in preparation for enlargement.

3. Clean Up a Renovation Site

Even if your flip did not involve tearing down old sheds or other components, you can still utilize a demolition expert as an important partner. Basic renovation creates more debris than you think, and a very large home flip creates even more.

Roofing scraps, old cabinets, countertops, flooring, and sheetrock must be stored or hauled away eventually. Additionally, consider other supplies associated with renovations, like the protective plastic used when painting. Product packaging and boxes from wood floors, shingles, new appliances, and other materials take up more space.

Often clean-up is one of the biggest tasks before a house is ready to resell. Clean-up challenges are compounded when you want to recycle as much as possible and lack the resources to do so. Cleaning up and hauling away debris can be simplified when you have a good relationship with a demolition partner.
