STATEN ISLAND LICENSED DEMOLITION & SITE PREP • NYC DCWP #2127843-DCWP
National Design & Contracting Corp is Staten Island’s trusted, licensed demolition contractor. Led on-site by Adeel Cheema, we execute complete residential building teardowns, selective interior gut demolition, garage removals, concrete slab breaking, and structural dismantling. Guaranteed NYC DOB permitting, utility sign-offs, and airtight dust containment.
Demolition in Staten Island requires serious engineering knowledge, respect for adjacent properties, and strict compliance with the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB). Hiring uninsured laborers or unlicensed "cleanout scrappers" frequently leads to catastrophic utility strikes, cracked neighbor foundations, and immediate Stop Work Orders with thousands in DOB penalties.
At National Design & Contracting Corp, founder Adeel Cheema personally manages every demolition phase. We coordinate pre-demolition structural engineering inspections, secure ConEdison gas cutoffs, DEP water caps, and DOB permits, and employ surgical dismantling techniques to protect neighboring homes and shared property lines.
Whether preparing a single room for custom cabinetry or demolishing a two-story residential structure, our crews operate with surgical care.
Full building demolition of single-family, multi-family, and storm-damaged structures. Includes foundation excavation, backfilling, compaction, and final rough grading ready for new construction.
Interior strip-outs down to bare studs and subfloor. Removal of lath and plaster, sheetrock, non-load-bearing partitions, drop ceilings, flooring, and outdated plumbing fixtures.
Dismantling old wood-frame or concrete-block garages, dilapidated sheds, and deteriorated decks. Includes breaking the concrete apron and foundation slab, followed by clean soil backfill.
Hydraulic and pneumatic demolition of reinforced concrete patios, driveways, retaining walls, brick chimneys, and foundation footings with immediate haul-away and disposal.
Fast-turnaround demolition for retail storefronts, corporate offices, and restaurants. Full removal of casework, commercial ductwork, floor finishes, and fixtures back to landlord white-box shell.
Rapid-response cleanup for fire, water, or vehicle impact damage. Immediate temporary shoring, structural stabilization, and emergency DOB filing coordination to make properties safe.

"Demolition requires extreme discipline. One mistake with a water main or an adjacent foundation can cause tens of thousands in damage. That’s why I personally supervise our demolition crews on-site every single day, verify every utility disconnect, and ensure the site is broom-clean before we leave."
