Most demolition jobs in Sellersville don’t go sideways because of the demo itself. They go sideways when a crew opens up a wall in a pre-1978 home off Main Street, finds asbestos in the floor tiles or joint compound, and has to stop everything while you scramble to find a certified abatement contractor. That gap — between demo and remediation — is where projects stall, budgets blow up, and timelines fall apart.
When you hire us, that gap doesn’t exist. Testing, abatement, and demolition are handled under one roof, by one licensed team. If something’s found mid-project, work continues. No second contractor. No DEP notification delays while you wait on someone else’s schedule. Just a clean, compliant job that keeps moving.
Sellersville’s housing stock is older than most people realize. The downtown core along Bethlehem Pike has homes and buildings that predate 1940, and the surrounding residential streets aren’t far behind. In a borough where the building history runs this deep, the odds of encountering regulated materials during a gut renovation aren’t a maybe — they’re close to a certainty. Having a contractor who’s built to handle that reality isn’t a luxury. It’s just the right call.
We’ve been doing this work for twenty years — not twenty years of marketing, twenty years of actual projects. Gut-outs in older Bucks County homes, asbestos abatement in pre-1978 buildings, lead remediation, waterproofing, and emergency response when something goes wrong at the worst possible time. Our credentials are real: Pennsylvania state-certified under Act 194, Certified Lead Inspector and Risk Assessor, fully EPA/HUD compliant, and licensed, bonded, and insured across all five counties in the service area.
For Sellersville homeowners — whether you’re renovating a Victorian-era rowhouse near the Theater 1894 corridor or finishing a basement in one of the newer Park Hill communities off Old Bethlehem Pike — we bring the full scope. Free estimates, cash discounts, and a phone that gets answered at 2am. That’s not a tagline. That’s just how we run the business.
It starts with a free on-site evaluation. Before anything gets touched, we assess the scope of the project and identify whether regulated materials — asbestos, lead paint, or other hazardous substances — are present or likely. In Sellersville, where a significant portion of the housing stock predates 1978, this step isn’t a formality. It’s the step that determines whether your renovation stays on schedule or gets derailed.
If abatement is needed, we handle the Pennsylvania DEP notification — state law requires written notice at least 10 days before any regulated demolition or abatement project begins, and that filing falls on us, not you. Containment goes up, HEPA filtration systems run throughout the work, and remediation is completed by the same licensed crew before demolition continues. You’re not waiting on a second company or a second schedule.
Once the space is clear, the gutting begins — walls, ceilings, flooring, whatever the project calls for. Debris is removed, the space is cleaned, and a final inspection confirms everything meets code before we walk off the job. From the first call to the final walkthrough, the process is designed to move efficiently and leave nothing behind that shouldn’t be there.

We handle the full range of interior demolition work — kitchen gut-outs, bathroom demolition, basement clearing, selective demo on specific walls or structures, and full interior strip-downs to the studs. Every project includes debris removal and site cleanup. What sets us apart from the standard demo-only contractors you’ll find in the Sellersville area is that the environmental piece is already built in.
For homes in the older parts of Sellersville — particularly the downtown streets and residential blocks that predate the 1978 federal lead paint ban — we conduct environmental testing before work begins. If asbestos-containing materials are present in floor tiles, ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, or joint compound, we’re already certified to handle the removal. If lead paint is a factor, our Certified Lead Inspector and Risk Assessor designation means the assessment and remediation happen in-house, in compliance with EPA RRP rules and Pennsylvania requirements.
We also provide waterproofing services, which matters more than most people expect in a borough with Sellersville’s older foundation stock and upper Bucks County’s seasonal precipitation patterns. If a gut renovation reveals moisture intrusion or drainage issues — and in older homes along the Bethlehem Pike corridor, it often does — that work doesn’t require a third contractor. It’s already covered. One call, one crew, one project from start to finish.
In most cases, yes. Sellersville Borough administers the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code locally, and permits are required for structural demolition, interior gut work that affects load-bearing elements, or any work that changes the use or occupancy of a space. For straightforward cosmetic demo — removing drywall, flooring, or non-structural finishes — the permit requirement depends on the specific scope, and it’s worth confirming with the borough office at 140 E. Church Street before work begins.
Beyond the local permit, Pennsylvania DEP requires written notification at least 10 days before the start of any demolition or renovation project that involves regulated asbestos-containing materials. This is a state-level requirement that applies regardless of the local permit status, and it’s one of the first things we handle as part of the project intake process. You don’t have to figure out the paperwork — that’s already part of our service.
Interior demolition in the Bucks County market generally runs between $2 and $8 per square foot, with most gut projects landing somewhere between $1,000 and $5,000 depending on the scope. A full gut-out to the studs — kitchen, bathroom, or a larger space — can run $2,500 to $9,800 or more depending on square footage, access, and what’s found inside the walls.
The number that surprises most homeowners in Sellersville isn’t the demolition cost itself — it’s the cost of discovering regulated materials mid-project when they’ve hired a demo-only contractor. Asbestos abatement or lead remediation added after the fact can run thousands of dollars on top of the original estimate, plus the cost of delays while you wait for a separate abatement company to become available. When we handle the full scope from the start, that surprise invoice doesn’t happen. The estimate covers what the job actually requires, and there’s no second contractor billing you separately.
If asbestos is discovered during demolition and you’re working with a demo-only contractor, work legally has to stop. The crew leaves, you contact a licensed abatement company, they assess the situation, Pennsylvania DEP gets notified, and the 10-day waiting period begins before any regulated removal can start. Depending on availability, that process can add two to four weeks to your project timeline — and a separate invoice on top of what you’ve already paid.
When we’re on the job, the sequence is different. Because we’re both the demolition contractor and the certified abatement contractor, a discovery mid-project triggers an assessment and a continuation of work — not a full stop. The DEP notification is filed, containment is established, HEPA filtration runs throughout the abatement, and once the area is clear, demolition resumes. In a borough like Sellersville — where homes along the older downtown streets and residential corridors regularly contain asbestos in floor tiles, ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, and joint compound — this matters more than most homeowners expect going in.
Yes, and it’s not a close call. The federal ban on residential lead paint went into effect in 1978. The majority of Sellersville’s existing housing stock — particularly in the downtown core along Bethlehem Pike and the surrounding residential streets — predates that cutoff by decades. Many of these homes were built in the early to mid-20th century, and some of the oldest structures in the borough date back well before 1900.
Lead paint becomes a serious health concern the moment renovation work begins. Cutting, sanding, scraping, or demolishing surfaces that contain lead paint generates dust that is hazardous to adults and acutely dangerous to children. Under the EPA’s Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule, any contractor working in pre-1978 residential buildings must be lead-safe certified and follow specific work practices. We hold a Certified Lead Inspector and Risk Assessor designation — a formal, examination-based credential that goes beyond basic lead-safe certification. If lead paint is present in your home, we can assess it, remediate it, and document the result in compliance with Pennsylvania and federal requirements.
The honest answer is that most aren’t. In Pennsylvania, most construction contractors don’t need a state-issued license to operate — but asbestos and lead removal contractors do. Under Pennsylvania’s Asbestos Occupations Accreditation and Certification Act (Act 194 of 1990), anyone performing asbestos abatement work in the Commonwealth must hold a state certification. That credential is issued by the PA Department of Labor and Industry, it requires examination and renewal, and it is verifiable.
When you’re vetting a contractor for demolition work in Sellersville, ask directly whether they hold Act 194 certification for asbestos abatement and whether they carry a Certified Lead Inspector and Risk Assessor designation. If they can’t give you a straight answer — or if they tell you they’ll “deal with it if it comes up” — that’s your answer. We hold both credentials and operate in full compliance with EPA, HUD, and Pennsylvania DEP requirements. You’re welcome to verify that before you call.
Yes. We offer cash discounts on qualifying projects, and it’s a straightforward arrangement — if you pay in cash, the savings get passed directly to you. For homeowners in Sellersville managing a renovation budget, that discount can make a meaningful difference, especially on larger gut projects where the total scope adds up quickly.
We also provide free estimates with no obligation, and will beat any legitimate written estimate on comparable work — that’s a standing commitment, not a limited-time offer. The combination of transparent pricing, cash discounts, and the beat-any-estimate guarantee is part of how we’ve built our reputation in upper Bucks County over two decades. The goal is straightforward: give you an honest number up front, deliver the work at that number, and not hand you a surprise invoice at the end. If you’re in Sellersville and you’re ready to get a number, the phone is answered 24 hours a day.
