Suffolk County

Demolition in Revere

Revere is a short run from the East Boston yard and mixes dense residential streets with commercial frontage along Broadway and the Squire Road corridor. The housing is largely pre-war and close-set, so residential work here is about protecting the building next door as much as removing the one in front of you. It is also the one town the previous site targeted, and the search demand is real.

Common in Suffolk County

Suffolk County is the densest building stock in New England and the hardest to work in. Most of it is attached — brick and masonry party walls, triple-deckers a few feet apart, commercial blocks that share structure with the unit next door — so almost every job is a selective one whether or not it is described that way. Add streets laid out before trucks, buildings routinely over a century old, and the near-certainty of asbestos in anything untouched since the 1970s, and the constraint is rarely the demolition itself. It is access, protection of what stays, and the paperwork in front of the start date.

  • Interior strip-outs in occupied commercial and institutional buildings
  • Selective demolition where a floor or bay comes out and the frame stays loaded
  • Concrete cutting and coring for new services in buildings that stay in use
  • Floor removal ahead of tenant fit-outs
  • Asbestos identified and abated before a demolition permit will issue

Questions

Working in Revere

Do you cover Revere?

Yes. Revere is inside Allied's regular service area in Suffolk County, along with Chelsea, Everett, Lynn. The 24-hour line is (857) 266-3238.

How quickly can someone look at a property in Revere?

Call the line and describe the job. Demolition is quoted after the site has been assessed, so the next step is arranging someone to look at it — photographs of the structure and of how a machine would reach it speed that up considerably.

Do I need a permit to demolish a structure in Revere?

Almost always, and permits are handled as part of the job. What is needed early is the property address and the owner's details, since the application is built from those. Requirements are set by the Suffolk County authority or the municipality, depending on where the property sits.
