Rowhouse Redevelopment Demolition in Rex Manor

Rex Manor's older housing is mostly small one-story homes from the postwar years, mixed with older apartments and a few commercial buildings near the expressway. With transit close by, the area has seen steady redevelopment into rowhouses and townhomes, often on two or more combined lots.

A rowhouse project usually means clearing several structures at once: houses, garages, sheds, fences, driveways and old utility lines. We sequence it so trucks can move in and out efficiently, utilities are abandoned in the right order, and the site is left graded and ready for the developer's crew.

Not every Rex Manor job is a multi-lot project. Plenty of owners still replace a single small house with a new one, and those teardowns look a lot like the ones elsewhere in the city: one driveway, close neighbors, a detached garage or carport, and old concrete to break out. The difference here is that the lot next door may be a construction site too, so we coordinate with other crews on the block.

Demolition Next to Occupied Neighbors in Rex Manor

Redevelopment lots in Rex Manor usually sit right next to homes that are staying. That means dust, noise and vibration have to be managed carefully. We water the work constantly, screen the fences, pull structures inward, and use smaller equipment near shared property lines.

Street parking is tight, and many residents park on the street. Truck loading is planned so that it does not block driveways, and any use of the street for staging is done with city approval. Loud work stays within the city's construction hours.

Permits and Utilities for Rex Manor Demolition

The City of Mountain View Building Division permits demolition in Rex Manor. For redevelopment, the demolition permit usually follows planning approval of the new project. If any of the buildings are rentals with tenants, Mountain View's tenant relocation requirements apply, and the owner completes those before a demolition date is set.

Every structure on the site gets its own asbestos survey. Where one comes back positive, a certified abatement crew clears that material first, and only then do we move in. Our notice to the air district goes in before the start date, as its rules require. PG&E removes gas and electric service to each building, and water and sewer laterals are capped or abandoned according to the city's requirements, which can differ when the new project will use new connections.

Recycling Demolition Debris From Rex Manor Projects

Clearing multiple lots produces a lot of concrete, asphalt, wood and metal. We separate it on site and send each type to recyclers, which keeps disposal costs down and helps the project meet CALGreen and city construction waste requirements.

Developers need clean records for permit closeout. We keep weight tickets and recycling documentation for every load and provide them at the end of the job.
