5 Common Questions About Demolition Projects in Toronto, Aurora & Newmarket

If you’re planning to rebuild, renovate, or start new construction, demolition is often the first step. Here are the most common questions Ontario homeowners ask before starting a demolition project.

1. Do I need a permit to demolish a house in Toronto or Aurora?

Yes — most demolitions require a demolition permit, which is issued once you have utility disconnection approvals (gas, hydro, water) and, in some cases, a building permit for the upcoming construction.

Ontario Concrete Inc. handles all permit applications, ensuring your project stays compliant with your local municipality’s process.

2. How much do demolition services cost in the Toronto GTA?

Pricing varies depending on the size of the structure, materials, access, and disposal needs. On average:

- Small garages or sheds: $3,000–$6,000

- Full single‑family homes: $20,000–$40,000
