PRE-DECONSTRUCTION & SITE PROTECTION in Seattle, Washington

Before any demolition or deconstruction begins, proper preparation is key to a smooth and compliant project. At Sledge Seattle LLC, we provide expert pre-deconstruction and site protection services throughout Seattle, WA and surrounding areas. These services are designed to protect your property, meet city regulations, and help you avoid costly delays or fines.



In Seattle, local ordinances often require that vacant or pre-demo structures meet specific safety and security guidelines—even before active work begins. Failure to comply can land your property on the city's Vacant Building Monitoring Program, leading to monthly fines and added inspections. That’s where we come in. Our experienced team offers full-service protection solutions to keep your site secure, compliant, and ready for the next phase of development.

Salvage Assessments & Deconstruction Bids

If you're considering deconstruction instead of full demolition, the process begins with a salvage assessment. Our team inspects the structure to determine what materials—like wood, cabinetry, flooring, and fixtures—can be safely removed and repurposed. These assessments are not only helpful for budgeting, but they’re also required for projects seeking grants or aiming to meet Seattle’s Priority Green or Built Green criteria.



Once the assessment is complete, we provide a detailed deconstruction bid, outlining the scope, timeline, potential material recovery, and grant eligibility. These upfront evaluations help ensure your project starts on a solid foundation and meets all local environmental and planning guidelines.

Site Protection & Board-Up Services

Protecting your job site before deconstruction is critical—especially in urban areas like Seattle. We offer complete board-up and site protection services, including securing doors and windows, fencing off the perimeter, and removing hazards such as debris or overgrowth.


Board-up services are essential for both safety and legal compliance. They help deter trespassing, vandalism, and squatters, while also minimizing liability and fire risk. Our board-up crews use high-quality materials and secure installation methods to make sure your site remains protected until active work begins.



We also offer property cleanup and hazard mitigation services. This includes removing trash, trimming brush, and clearing walkways or access points to make the site safe for inspections, walkthroughs, or upcoming construction work.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

We had a big old boiler in the basement of our apartment building, which we wanted to have cut up and removed. Tricky job due to access limitations, size and weight of the boiler, and nearby gas and water pipes. I got 3 quotes and chose Sledge, based both on their price (which was very good) and reviews. They didn't disappoint - their crew worked like demons and got it all cut up and carted out in about 6 hours, with no damage. It was very dirty work but they covered up the carpets and minimized the mess. I'll have some cleaning up to do but I expected that. Very happy with Ben, Andy and crew and would use them again!

I hired Sledge to remove a large deck. In addition to removing the deck, they completed several other projects for me: rebuilding a rotten raised cedar flower bed, putting a new roof on my shed, and installing a gutter on my garage. All this was completed at a reasonable price. I met the owners and the several crew members. They are very personable and good to work with. I highly recommend this company.

Sledge removed an old garage and concrete foundation for us. They were very professional and responsive. We were extremely satisfied with the work done and would 100% recommend them
