House demolition
Single-story house demolition in Southern Indiana
Small, single-story houses torn down and hauled away in our own roll-offs. We do not tear down two-story houses.
01What we take down
Small house demolition and haul off
Micro Man tears down single-story houses within about 30 miles of Charlestown, Indiana. A mini excavator brings the house down, the debris goes straight into one of our roll-offs parked beside it, and we haul it to the landfill. We do not tear down two-story houses; we only take the jobs we are best suited to complete.
Jenny Cox had us demo a home and a barn and wrote: Jamie did the demo quickly, but professionally. Everything was done as we asked, and the area was left in good condition. He is reasonably priced, timely, and thorough.
Is your house a fit?
The line is the second story. A one-story house is the kind of job we take, and a garage, a shed or a deck on the same lot can come down in the same job. Send photos of all four sides and of anything close to the house: a fence, a power line, a tree or a neighbor’s building.
If the house is taller than one story, we will tell you so up front. If our owner knows someone else can do a better job, he will refer that work away, because we only want the jobs we are best suited to complete.
Permits and the state rules
Permits come from your town or county. Jeffersonville requires a permit to demolish residential properties, New Albany has its own demolition application, and Georgetown has a demo permit form. Each town page names the office.
For the state, IDEM says noncommercial residential buildings with four or fewer dwelling units, such as homes, are exempt from its asbestos emission rules, though owners still have to follow waste disposal rules and local ordinances. A house used as a business is a different case, so ask before we start.

They came when they said they would, worked non-stop, charged exactly what they said they would!!
Needed a 46x24x15 barn demo and removed. Came out and less than 36 hours later (only delayed because landfill closed at 4pm) nothing left but a foundation.
Jamie is a unique individual in this day and age. He showed up when he said he would and did an outstanding job.

Do you tear down two-story houses?
No. We do not tear down two-story houses. We take down single-story houses, mobile homes, garages, sheds and decks.
If we know someone else can do a better job, we will refer that work away.
Do I need a permit to demolish a house?
Usually, and it comes from your town or county. Jeffersonville, for example, requires a permit to demolish residential properties, and New Albany has its own demolition application.
Each town page names the office to call.
Is an asbestos inspection required to tear down a house in Indiana?
IDEM says noncommercial residential buildings with four or fewer dwelling units, such as homes, are exempt from its asbestos emission rules. Owners still have to follow waste disposal rules and local ordinances.
See IDEM’s exemptions page, or ask us when you book.
How much does it cost to tear down a small house?
Each teardown is quoted by phone or text before we start, and photos help, because the size of the house, what it is built from and access change the job. Text photos and the address to (812) 207-7155.
Photos of all four sides and anything close to the house are the most help.
