Middlesex County
Demolition in Somerville
Somerville is the densest city in New England by population, and it demolishes like it. Triple-deckers sit close enough that dust, noise and vibration control shape the schedule, and streets are frequently too narrow to stage equipment without a permit. Around Union and Assembly the converted industrial stock brings selective structural work and slab cutting for new mechanical runs.
Common in Middlesex County
Middlesex County holds the widest range of work in the region. Cambridge and Somerville bring lab, institutional and converted industrial buildings where the demolition is precise, heavily coordinated and usually happening around people still working in the building. Further out through Medford, Malden and the Route 128 towns the stock shifts to postwar commercial frontage and residential lots, where a machine can often reach and the job runs more conventionally. The two ends of the county want genuinely different methods.
- Lab, institutional and office strip-outs with live services running through the work
- Selective structural removal in converted mill and industrial buildings
- Slab cutting and coring for new mechanical and plumbing runs
- Residential teardowns on tight suburban lots
- Floor and coating removal in industrial and commercial space

Questions
Working in Somerville
Do you cover Somerville?
Yes. Somerville is inside Allied's regular service area in Middlesex County, along with Cambridge, Medford, Everett. The 24-hour line is (857) 266-3238.
How quickly can someone look at a property in Somerville?
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 Somerville?
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 Middlesex County authority or the municipality, depending on where the property sits.
