Sometimes what’s there has to come down before you can move forward. Whether it’s an old farmhouse that’s past its useful life, a deteriorated outbuilding, or a structure that needs to come out to make way for new construction, 3H Construction LLC handles demolition with the right equipment and a focus on leaving the site clean and ready for what comes next.
What We Handle
We do residential and light commercial demolition, which includes:
- Tearing down old houses, barns, and outbuildings
- Removing concrete structures, slabs, and foundations
- Clearing the site of debris after a tear-down
- Demolition combined with site prep when a new structure is planned
Our goal is always to leave the site in a condition where the next phase of work — grading, building, or clearing — can begin without delay.
What Happens Before We Start
Before any demolition begins, we assess the structure and the site. We look at what needs to come down, what needs to stay intact, how utilities are handled, and what the plan is for the debris. If there are any concerns about what’s in the structure or the site conditions, those get addressed before work starts.
We also take into account what the property is being used for after demolition — a site that’s going to be graded and built on immediately needs to be handled differently than one being cleared and left as open land.

Demolition FAQs
What types of structures can you demolish?
We handle residential structures — houses, barns, sheds, outbuildings — and light commercial structures. The type of structure affects the equipment and approach. Give us a call and describe what you have, and we can tell you whether it’s within our scope.
Do I need a permit to demolish a structure in Texas?
Permit requirements vary by municipality and county. In many unincorporated rural areas of Grimes County and surrounding counties, residential demolition may not require a permit. However, if you’re in a city or within an ETJ, there may be requirements. We recommend checking with your local county or city offices before work begins.
What do you do with the debris after demolition?
We discuss debris handling as part of the project scope. Material can often be sorted, with some recycled or hauled off and concrete or fill material used elsewhere on the property. The specific plan depends on the structure and the site.
Will demolition damage the surrounding land or trees?
We work to contain the impact of demolition to the structure and footprint being removed. Access for equipment does require some space, and we’ll discuss the site layout with you before starting. For structures near trees or other features you want to protect, let us know upfront.
How long does a typical demolition take?
A standard residential structure — a house or barn — can typically be down and cleared in one to several days depending on the size and the plan for debris. We’ll give you a timeline based on what you’ve got.
