Professional Demolition for Highland Park Homeowners
Highland Park is a small, culturally rich borough perched on the bluffs above the Raritan River, directly across from New Brunswick and Rutgers University. The borough features a walkable downtown along Raritan Avenue and residential streets lined with early 20th-century homes — colonials, Tudors, and foursquares with mature trees and established gardens. Highland Park has a strong sense of community identity and an active historic preservation ethic.
Highland Park homeowners face the enjoyable challenge of updating homes built in the 1920s and 1930s without losing the character that drew them to the borough. Common projects include kitchen renovations that work within original floor plans, bathroom updates in homes with a single full bath, and basement finishing in homes with solid stone or block foundations. The borough's engaged community means contractors are judged by word-of-mouth reputation.

Demolition in Highland Park — Common Questions
Answers to questions Highland Park homeowners frequently ask about demolition.
Interior demolition in Highland Park typically costs $2,000 to $8,000 depending on the scope. A single room gut-out runs $1,500 to $3,000. A full kitchen or bathroom demolition with disposal is $2,500 to $5,000. Homes built before 1978 in Highland Park may require lead paint testing or asbestos assessment, which adds $500 to $1,500.
We are EPA Lead-Safe certified for work in pre-1978 homes, which covers many Highland Park properties. We follow proper containment and disposal procedures as required by NJ law. For asbestos found in floor tiles, pipe insulation, or other materials, we coordinate with licensed abatement contractors to handle removal safely before renovation work begins.
Most interior demolition for Highland Park renovation projects takes 1 to 3 days. A single room gut-out is typically a 1-day job. A full home interior demolition can take 3 to 5 days including debris removal and dumpster coordination. We protect the areas of your home that are not being demolished and haul away all debris.
