Demolition Services in Corvallis, Montana
Clearing the Way for Whatever Comes Next
A leaning barn, a burned out foundation, or a mobile home rotting at the edge of a field does more than clutter a view. It blocks every plan you have for that ground. At Bohlander Construction, we take down structures and clear sites across Corvallis, Montana with the same machines and the same care we bring to excavation work. Every demolition starts with a walk of the property, an honest look at what is coming down, and a plan for where the material goes once it hits the ground.
Our demolition work covers barns, sheds, garages, mobile homes, concrete slabs, old foundations, and derelict outbuildings, right through to stripping a lot to bare ground for a rebuild. Landowners in Hamilton, Stevensville, Florence, and Missoula call us for the same jobs. Behind every teardown sit 13 years of moving earth and heavy material in this valley, which is how we know the way a structure will come apart before the bucket ever touches it.
Because the excavators and haul trucks are ours, demolition and cleanup happen in one continuous pass rather than in stops and starts waiting on someone else's calendar. Debris leaves as it comes down, and disposal is handled to approved sites so nothing lingers behind. You talk directly with the owner about what stays, what goes, and how the ground should look when the dust settles. When something needs to come down, send us the details on our contact page and we will plan the work around your timeline.

What Our Demolition Work Covers
Barn and Outbuilding Demolition
Old barns, sheds, and shops reach a point where repair costs more than removal. We drop the structure safely, separate what can be salvaged, and clear the footprint completely so the space becomes usable ground again rather than a hazard.
Mobile Home and Manufactured Structure Removal
Abandoned trailers and manufactured homes are common on rural land and awkward to deal with. We disconnect, dismantle, and haul them off in full, including skirting, decks, and stairs, leaving a clean pad where the structure once sat.
Concrete Slab and Foundation Removal
Buried concrete gets in the way of every future plan. We break out slabs, footings, and old foundation walls, haul the rubble away, and open the ground back up so the site is ready for new construction or clean landscaping.
Full Site Clearing and Lot Teardown
Some properties need everything gone at once. We clear structures, concrete, fencing, junk, and overgrowth in a coordinated sequence, taking a cluttered lot down to open, workable ground that is ready for whatever you intend to build there.
Debris Removal and Disposal
Demolition is only finished when the debris is gone. Our trucks load out wood, metal, concrete, and rubble as the work progresses and carry it to approved disposal sites, so piles never sit blocking access on your property.
Grading and Backfill After Demolition
Once a structure is gone, a hole or an uneven scar is usually left behind. We backfill voids, compact the material, and grade the area smooth so water drains properly and the ground is genuinely ready for its next use.
Reasons to Bring Us In for the Teardown
One Crew from Teardown to Clean Grade
The same team drops the structure, loads the debris, backfills the hole, and grades the ground. Nothing gets handed between outfits and nothing gets left half done, so you deal with a single crew that owns the outcome.
Debris Gone as Work Progresses
Material leaves the site while the demolition is still underway instead of piling up in the driveway for weeks. Your property stays passable throughout, and the last load rolls out close behind the last wall coming down.
Ground Left Ready to Build On
A teardown is not finished at the point the structure falls. Voids get filled, the area gets compacted, and the grade gets shaped for drainage, which means the site is genuinely usable the moment we pull off it.
Hazards Removed from Your Property
Collapsing roofs, rusted metal, broken concrete, and old wells or tanks are real risks on rural land. Taking them out protects your family, your livestock, and your liability, and it removes worries that have likely nagged at you for years.
Equipment Owned, Not Rented
Our excavators, loaders, and trucks belong to us, so the start date holds and the pace stays steady from the first day. There is no rental clock ticking on your bill and no waiting for a machine to free up somewhere else.
Straight Answers from the Owner
You discuss the scope, the sequence, and the finished grade with the person actually running the job. Questions get answered on the spot, decisions get made quickly, and the plan you agreed on is the plan that gets carried out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to demolish a barn or outbuilding?
Most single structures come down in one to three days, including loading and hauling the debris. Size, construction type, and access all affect that. With 13 years of demolition and excavation work behind us, we give property owners in Corvallis, Montana a realistic schedule before starting.
Do I need a permit to tear down a structure on my property?
Frequently, yes. Requirements vary by county and depend on the structure type, its size, and whether utilities or septic are involved. Older buildings may also need an inspection first. We help you sort out what your specific site requires before any equipment shows up.
What happens to the debris once the building is down?
It leaves with us. Wood, metal, concrete, and general rubble get loaded into our own trucks and hauled to approved disposal sites as the teardown progresses. Salvageable material can be set aside if you want it, and the rest is handled without you making a single call.
Do you remove the concrete foundation and slab too?
Yes, and it is usually worth doing. Buried footings and slabs interfere with future building, drainage, and landscaping. We break the concrete out, haul the rubble off, then backfill and compact the void so the ground is stable rather than hiding a surprise underneath.
Do utilities need to be disconnected before demolition starts?
Always. Power, gas, water, and septic connections must be shut off and properly capped before anything comes down, and that coordination happens with the utility providers ahead of the work. We walk the site with you first to confirm every service line is accounted for.
Can you remove an old mobile home from a rural property?
Certainly. Abandoned trailers and manufactured homes are a common sight on Bitterroot Valley land, and we remove them completely, including decks, skirting, stairs, and the debris underneath. What you are left with is a clean, level pad instead of a deteriorating eyesore.
What should I know about asbestos or hazardous material in older buildings?
Structures built before the late 1980s may contain asbestos or lead, and those materials require licensed testing and abatement before demolition. That step is handled by a certified specialist rather than by us. Once the site is cleared, we take the structure down and haul it away.
Is the ground ready to build on right after demolition?
It is once the site work is finished. Removing a structure leaves voids and disturbed soil, so we backfill with suitable material, compact it in lifts, and grade for drainage. That final stage is what turns a demolition site into ground you can actually build on.
