Mount Washington Excavation & Demolition FAQs

  • How much does excavation cost in Mount Washington?

    Most residential excavation in Louisville runs $2,500–$15,000. Basement digs land $6,000–$12,000 depending on size, depth, and soil. Water line replacements run $2,800–$5,500. Rock surcharge for limestone hammer work is typically $100–$200 per hour and shows up on the written quote before we start.

  • How much does it cost to demolish a house in Mount Washington?

    Most full house demolitions run $9,000–$22,000 for a typical 1,200–2,200 sq ft home with a slab or crawl, all-in with permits, NESHAP asbestos survey, utility disconnects, haul-off, and basic backfill. Older homes with full basements push toward $25,000+.

  • Do you call 811 before every dig?

    Yes — at least 48 hours before a blade hits dirt, every job, no exceptions. Hitting an unmarked gas or fiber line is the contractor's liability and your headache. If a contractor offers to skip locates to start sooner, walk away.

  • Will you write a rock surcharge into the quote up front?

    Yes. Limestone bedrock is the #1 surprise on basement digs in Louisville — especially on ridge lots in Prospect, Anchorage, and the Highlands, and across most of Bullitt and Nelson counties. We probe the soil before quoting and put the hourly hammer rate in writing on the original quote.

  • Do you handle pool demolition and removal in Mount Washington?

    Yes. In-ground pool removal runs $6,500–$14,000 depending on size, access, and partial-fill vs. full removal. Above-ground pools are typically $1,200–$2,500. Demo permits and haul-off are included in every quote.
