Commercial Demolition Across Kentucky, Cleared and Ready to Build
Commercial Demolition
A Demolition Contractor Your Schedule Can Rely On
Earth Works LLC is a commercial demolition contractor serving general contractors, developers, project managers, and municipal entities across Kentucky. We take structures down safely and on schedule — and we hand back a site that is genuinely ready for the next phase, not one that needs a second contractor to fix.
Because we are an excavation company first, demolition does not end at the teardown. Grading, erosion control, and material handling are the same crew and the same equipment, which keeps the handoff clean and the project cost-effective.
What We Offer
Our Demolition Services
Total Structure Demolition
Full teardown of commercial and industrial structures, sequenced around your schedule and closed out with a clean, graded, build-ready site.
Selective & Interior Demolition
Partial structure, interior, and exterior wall demolition where the building stays in service. Precise removal, protected structure, no surprises for the trades behind us.
Site Demolition & Clearing
Slabs, foundations, and hardstanding removed and processed on site, with material screened for reuse where it makes the project more cost-effective.

Precision
GPS 3D modeling and skilled operators mean we take down exactly what is scoped, and nothing that isn't.
Reliability
Permitting, erosion control, and disposal handled, so demolition hands off to the next phase on time.

Common Questions
Demolition FAQ
Cost depends on structure size, materials, site access, and what has to happen underneath — asbestos abatement, utility disconnection, or foundation removal all change the number. Send us the scope and we'll walk the site and give you a real estimate, not a placeholder.
Yes. We manage permit applications, asbestos surveys, utility disconnection verification, and the municipality-specific requirements that vary across Kentucky cities. See our full guide to Kentucky demolition permits and regulations for the detail.
Yes — we are a licensed Kentucky excavation and demolition contractor, fully insured, with OSHA-certified crews operating under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart T and Kentucky's administrative codes for asbestos and fugitive emissions.
We handle commercial demolition across central Kentucky and Southern Indiana, including Bardstown, Elizabethtown, Frankfort, Nicholasville, Versailles, Louisville, Lexington, and Shelbyville, with the same crew and equipment that runs our excavation work.
Total demolition takes a structure down completely. Selective demolition removes part of a building — an interior, a wing, a wall — while the rest stays in service. Site demolition clears slabs, foundations, and hardstanding to prep a lot for the next phase.
Once permits and utility disconnects are cleared, we sequence demolition around whatever schedule the rest of your project is running on. Call (502) 348-6111 with your scope and timeline and we'll tell you exactly where it fits.
