Expert Demolition Services in Lake County
Pro Specialty Services is a licensed Florida general contractor (CGC1538852) handling demolition across Eustis, Mount Dora, and the surrounding Lake County communities. Demolition sounds like the simple part of a project—it's actually where projects go wrong first. Cutting into the wrong wall, dropping a structure onto a live utility line, or leaving a site half-cleared and unpermitted creates problems that cost far more than the demo itself. We plan it, permit it, execute it, and haul it, so what's left behind is a clean site ready for whatever comes next.
Because we're a full general contractor and not just a wrecking crew, most of our demolition work connects to what happens after it. Interior strip-outs that kick off a kitchen remodel or bathroom renovation. An aging shed or detached garage cleared to make room for a room addition. A storm-damaged structure taken down safely before rebuilding. One contractor owns the teardown and the build-back, so nothing falls in the gap between them.
Eustis and Mount Dora have some of the oldest housing stock in Lake County, and older structures demand more careful demolition—materials that need testing before disturbance, framing that's carrying loads in unexpected ways, and additions layered on over decades. That's exactly the work where hiring a licensed contractor over a guy with a dump trailer pays for itself.
Every demolition job gets a written scope and price, the permits the work requires, utility disconnects confirmed before the first cut, and full debris removal—legally disposed, never dumped.
Why Professional Demolition Matters
Structure comes down in a sequence, not all at once. Load-bearing walls, headers, and connected rooflines have to be identified before demolition starts—especially in older Eustis and Mount Dora homes that have been added onto multiple times, where the original framing is rarely doing what the current floor plan suggests. We open structures in the right order so nothing comes down that wasn't supposed to.
Utilities end demolition careers. Electric, gas, water, sewer, and septic lines all have to be located, disconnected, and capped before teardown—hitting a live line mid-demo is dangerous and expensive. We confirm disconnects with the utility and the building department before equipment ever touches the structure.
Older buildings can hide regulated materials. Structures built before the 1980s may contain asbestos or lead-based paint, and Florida requires an asbestos survey before most demolition work on older buildings. We flag it up front, coordinate the testing, and handle the material correctly—because discovering it mid-teardown shuts the whole project down.

Our Demolition Process
Site Assessment & Written Scope
We walk the structure, identify what's load-bearing and what's connected to it, and give you a written price for exactly what's coming down.
Permits & Surveys
Demolition permits filed with the city or county, and asbestos survey coordinated where the structure's age requires one.
Utility Disconnects
Electric, water, sewer or septic, and gas located, disconnected, and capped—confirmed before the first cut.
Protection & Containment
For selective demo: floor protection, dust barriers, and sealed returns so the rest of the house stays livable.
Demolition
The structure taken down in the engineered sequence—selective work by hand, full teardowns by machine.
Haul-Off & Handover
Debris hauled to licensed disposal, the site cleaned or rough-graded, and the final inspection closed out.

"We needed the interior of a 1960s house stripped to the studs before renovating. They flagged the asbestos testing before we even asked, contained the dust, and left clean framing ready for the rebuild."

Common Questions
It depends on the structure's size and construction, access for equipment, how much debris there is to haul, and whether the job needs an asbestos survey first. A shed, a concrete driveway, and a whole mobile home are very different jobs. We give you a written price after a free site visit—no per-square-foot guessing.
In most cases, yes. Eustis, Mount Dora, and Lake County all require demolition permits for structures, and utility disconnects have to be confirmed as part of the process. Interior-only demo within a remodel is typically covered under the remodel's permit. We handle the paperwork either way.
Florida requires an asbestos survey before most demolition of older structures, and buildings from before the 1980s commonly contain asbestos in flooring, ceilings, siding, or pipe insulation. We coordinate the survey up front and handle any regulated material correctly—finding it mid-demo stops a project cold, so we look first.
Yes—selective demolition is most of what we do. Interior strip-outs for remodels, removing a failing addition while protecting the main house, or taking a fire- or storm-damaged section down to sound structure. Knowing what's load-bearing is the whole game, and that's general contractor work.
Always. Debris removal is included in our demolition scope—loaded, hauled, and disposed of at licensed facilities. We leave the site broom-clean or rough-graded depending on what's happening next, and we never leave a pile for the homeowner to deal with.
Most residential demolition is fast once permits are in hand—a shed or concrete pad in a day, an interior strip-out in a few days, a full structure teardown with haul-off typically inside a week. Permitting and utility disconnects set the calendar more than the work itself; we give you the full timeline in the written scope.
That's our favorite kind of project. As a licensed general contractor we handle additions, remodels, and new construction—so the teardown and the rebuild run as one continuous project under one contract, instead of a demo crew and a builder pointing at each other.
