Can you remove a fireplace yourself?

• <div><p>You shouldn’t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-we-tear-down-fireplace-inside-house-without-having-remove-chimney-roof.htm">remove a fireplace yourself</a>. Before beginning this job, you’d need to know whether or not you have a load-bearing fireplace. To do that, you’d need help from a structural engineer. Plus, fireplace removals require permits and often involve working with gas lines or electricity, which can be dangerous. For all of these reasons, it’s best to hire a pro for this project.</p></div>

How long does it take to demolish concrete?

• <div><p>Most concrete demolition can take place in one day, depending on the size of the project. Thickness and concrete strength play the biggest role in how long it’ll take to remove. It’s important to hire a pro with the right equipment and experience, as this can significantly speed up a project. </p></div>

Q: Can you remove a fireplace yourself?

• <div><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-we-tear-down-fireplace-inside-house-without-having-remove-chimney-roof.htm">remove a fireplace yourself</a>. Before beginning this job, you&rsquo;d need to know whether or not you have a load-bearing fireplace. To do that, you&rsquo;d need help from a structural engineer.

For all of these reasons, it&rsquo;s best to hire a pro for this project.</p></div>

Q: Can I haul away and dump concrete myself?

• <div><p>Yes, if you have a vehicle suitable for transporting concrete, you can manually load the pieces, drive to the dump, and dispose of the concrete. If you have access to a public dump, you may not have to pay per visit, but private dumps will usually charge based on the weight and type of debris. As you can imagine, dumping concrete can get expensive using a private dump site. Hiring a professional concrete disposal company is usually a better option to get the job done quickly and safely.</p></div>

Q: How do I dispose of excess concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete hardens quickly. If you have extra at the end of your project, you can divide it into several small chunks that will be easier to manage for disposal. Concrete isn't hazardous waste, so you can dispose of it in a dumpster. However, you can check with your municipality to see if it offers recycling services for solid concrete. </p></div>

Q: What are common issues with concrete flatwork addressed by professionals?

• <div><p>Cracking, spalling, and uneven surfaces often need attention.</p></div>

"This company came in and replaced a botched job done by an unscrupulous concrete contractor. Curb Sol did the demolition of that job and replaced it with exactly what I requested. Clean job and very professional. In Maine it's hard to find trustworthy, fair contractors. Highly recommend these guys. Thanks in particular to David Shorey the point man for Curb Sol. He was very responsive and on top of things all the way through the process. Thank you."
