Demolition Contractor Tower Vista, Oregon City | Mayer Construction Inc
There’s a moment on every demo job where you stand in front of a building that’s been around for decades and think about everything that happened inside those walls. Last month, I was looking at an old warehouse that had been part of Oregon City’s industrial scene since the 1970s. The owner said his grandfather built it, but now it was time for something new. That’s what we do—we don’t just knock things down, we clear the way for what’s coming next.
I’ve been doing this work in Tower Vista and Oregon City for 30 years now. My dad started Mayer Construction back in 1995, and I remember being on jobs with him when I was still learning. He showed me that demo work isn’t just about tearing stuff apart—you need to understand how buildings are put together, plan everything out, and leave the property ready for whatever the owner wants to do next.
When people call us, they’re usually trying to figure out their next move. Maybe they bought a place with a building that’s too far gone to fix. Maybe they need to clear space for something bigger. Whatever it is, they want someone who’ll get it done fast, charge them fairly, and not leave a disaster behind.
That’s us. We’re family-owned, so you’re not dealing with some big company where nobody knows your name. We live here in Oregon City. We’ve done residential work throughout Tower Vista, handled commercial jobs along I-84, and worked on all kinds of properties in the area. If you need work done in other parts of the region, check out our Oregon City demolition contractor page.
Construction Company
We handle complete building demolition projects across Tower Vista. From residential teardowns to commercial structures, our experienced crew works safely and efficiently on every job site.
Home Demolition
Residential demolition requires careful planning and proper equipment. We’ve torn down houses throughout Tower Vista neighborhoods, always protecting surrounding properties and leaving clean, level lots.
Commercial Building Demolition
Commercial projects need different approaches than homes. We handle retail spaces, warehouses, and office buildings with attention to safety regulations and minimal disruption to nearby businesses.
Interior Demolition
Gutting building interiors while preserving structural elements takes precision. We strip walls, remove fixtures, and clear spaces for renovations without damaging what stays behind.
Debris Removal Service
Construction sites pile up with scrap fast. Wood chunks, drywall pieces, concrete rubble, metal scraps. We load it all up and haul it out so your crew can keep working instead of tripping over debris.
Debris Removal
Job sites get messy. Small renovations, big construction projects—doesn’t matter. Scrap builds up and someone needs to clear it. We handle everything from a bathroom remodel cleanup to clearing an entire commercial site. Keeps the job moving and keeps people safe.
Construction Debris Removal
Contractors call us when their dumpster’s full or they need debris gone same-day. We show up when we say we will, load everything up, and take it to the right disposal site. No drama, no delays.
Renovation Cleanup
Remodeling creates dust and demolished materials everywhere. Torn-out cabinets, old flooring, chunks of drywall. We come in after the demo work and haul it all away. You focus on the rebuild, we handle the mess.
Excavating Contractor
Ground preparation sets the foundation for any construction project. Our excavation services handle site work throughout Tower Vista, from lot clearing to precise grading for new construction.
Excavation Services
We dig foundations, trenches, and basements using equipment sized for your specific project. Proper excavation prevents future settling issues and drainage problems down the road.
Site Clearing
Preparing raw land means removing trees, brush, and debris. We clear lots completely, grind stumps, and haul away vegetation so your property is ready for development.
Grading and Leveling
Proper grading directs water away from structures and creates level building surfaces. We use laser-guided equipment for precise slopes and elevations that meet engineering specifications.
Junk Removal Service
Got stuff you don’t want? We take it. Old furniture, broken appliances, yard waste, whatever. You don’t have to sort it or move it to the curb. We load it up and it’s gone that day.
Junk Removal
Basements fill up over the years. Garages turn into storage units. Sheds become graveyards for old furniture and random junk. We clear it all out. Homes throughout Tower Vista—if you’ve got junk, we’ll haul it away.
Hot Tub Removal
Old hot tubs are massive and awkward. You can’t just drag one to the curb. We disconnect it, break it down if needed, and haul it away. Your backyard goes from cluttered to clean in a few hours.
Appliance Removal
Refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens—they can’t go in regular trash. Too big, and some have parts that need special disposal. We remove old appliances from homes and businesses, do the heavy lifting, and take them to recycling facilities that handle them properly.
Why Tower Vista Property Owners Call Us
We've Been Here for 30 Years
We started doing demo work in Oregon City back in 1995. That’s three decades of working with local property owners, dealing with Oregon building codes, and handling jobs of all sizes. When you’ve been around this long, you figure out what works. You also learn that your reputation is everything.
I’ve worked all over the area—residential teardowns near Chapin Park, commercial projects closer to McLoughlin Boulevard. Every job taught me something about how buildings here are built, what problems to expect, and how to finish work without surprises. That means I can give you real estimates and honest timelines right from the start.

Being family-owned changes everything. When you call Mayer Construction, you’re not going through a call center or getting whoever’s free that day. You’re talking to people who care about getting your project done right. My name’s on the trucks. My family’s reputation is tied to every single job.
We don’t have corporate targets or shareholders breathing down our necks. We just want to finish your demo project safely, quickly, and at a fair price. That’s how we’ve stayed in business while bigger companies have folded.
Honest Pricing
Nobody wants surprise charges halfway through a job. We give you a clear quote up front—demo, hauling, disposal, cleanup, all of it. If something changes while we’re working, we talk to you about it first. Our price reflects the actual work, not what we think we can get.
I’ve seen other contractors bid low to win the job, then add fees later. We don’t do that. You get an honest number for what your project will cost, and that’s what you pay. People in Tower Vista appreciate straight talk, and that’s what we give them.

FAQs – Demolition Contractor Tower Vista, Oregon City
Do I need a permit for demolition work in Tower Vista?
Yes. Oregon City requires permits for all demolition projects. We handle the permit application, structural assessments, and utility notifications. Residential permits take 2-3 weeks. Commercial projects may need environmental assessments based on building age.
How long does a typical house demolition take in Tower Vista?
Most homes take 1-2 days to tear down. Total timeline from permit to finished lot is 2-3 weeks, including utility disconnection and site grading. Properties with challenging access near McLoughlin Boulevard may take longer.
Can you access properties in Tower Vista’s older residential areas with narrow streets?
Yes. We use smaller equipment for tight access and coordinate with neighbors when needed. We’ve done plenty of work near Chapin Park and older neighborhoods—we plan staging and hauling routes before starting.
What happens to demolished materials from Tower Vista projects?
We sort on-site and haul to licensed Portland metro facilities. Concrete and asphalt get recycled, metal gets scrapped, wood gets processed. Asbestos in pre-1980 Oregon City buildings is handled by licensed abatement contractors first.
Do you work during Portland metro area traffic restrictions or special events?
We schedule around events and coordinate with Oregon City for road permits. Properties near I-84 or McLoughlin Boulevard get planned hauling routes that avoid peak traffic. Standard hours are 7 AM – 5 PM weekdays, but we adjust for commercial projects.
How much does demolition cost in Tower Vista?
Residential demolition runs $8,000-$15,000 for standard homes, depending on size, foundation type, and access. Basements cost more. Commercials vary by building size and materials. Free estimates after we evaluate your property.
