High-reach demolition employs excavators with extended booms (up to 100 ft) equipped with cutters, shears, and grapples to deconstruct upper stories, façades, and complex structures. Selective demolition lets us remove only targeted elements—ideal for preserving adjacent spaces, historic façades, or occupied interiors.
