Munford Demolition, From Old Homesteads to Backyard Jobs

Munford grew around Mt. Zion Methodist Episcopal Church in the early 1850s and was incorporated in 1905. The 2020 census counted 6,302 residents and 2,481 housing units, up from 5,927 residents in 2010. Demolition contractors in Munford work across a wide range of building ages, from homesteads and small-town houses that are well over a century old to subdivision homes from the last few decades.

A town named in 1886

The name honors Colonel Richard Henry Munford of Covington and was chosen when the post office reopened in 1886. Some of the oldest buildings in town date from the decades after that. Older houses here may have been added onto several times, with additions on different foundations and roof lines tied together. That affects how a tear-down is sequenced, so we look at how the house was built before we decide where to start.

Testing before tear-down

Older homes and outbuildings can contain materials that need special handling, such as some flooring, siding or pipe insulation. We arrange a survey when the building's age calls for one, and if asbestos-containing material is found, trained abatement workers remove it before demolition. It adds a step, but it keeps the job legal and keeps dust out of the neighborhood.

High ground, good drainage

Munford sits at about 446 feet, higher than Millington at about 260 feet. The better-drained upland makes for a firmer work surface than the river lowlands, and lots here usually dry out quickly after rain. We still protect lawns and driveways from heavy equipment and repair any ruts before we leave.

Backyard projects

Many Munford calls are for jobs smaller than a house: an old shed or chicken coop, a carport that has started to lean, a pool that has been sitting empty, or a cracked patio before a new outdoor area goes in. These go quickly. We bring the right-size machine for the access, haul everything off and leave the ground graded.

Permits in Tipton County

Munford is in Tipton County, so the permit path is through the town and county rather than Shelby County. We confirm what applies to your project, file it and schedule inspections. Utilities are disconnected and confirmed off before any structure comes down.

What to do before demolition day

A few things need to happen on your side before we start. Move out any belongings you want to keep, including items in the attic, crawl space and outbuildings. Appliances that hold refrigerant, such as refrigerators, freezers and window units, need the refrigerant recovered before disposal, so let us know if any are being left behind. Cancel any service accounts at the address. If there are pets or livestock nearby, tell us so we can plan around them. We walk the property with you on the last visit before the work begins.
