Demolition Services in Dover, PA
Safe, clean tear-downs across Dover, York County, and the Harrisburg area. Old houses, garages, barns, sheds, and concrete pads removed by a local crew with our own equipment.
Local Demolition Done Right in Dover, PA
Crone's Excavation & Demolition handles residential and light commercial demolition across Dover, PA, York County, Harrisburg, Dillsburg, Camp Hill, and Hanover. We take down old homes, detached garages, barns, sheds, mobile homes, and concrete pads and slabs, then haul the debris off and leave the site graded and ready for whatever you have planned next.
Brandon Crone runs every job. We own the excavator, the skid steer, and the trucks, which means no waiting on rental yards and no surprise sub fees on your invoice. Before any wall comes down we walk the property with you, confirm what stays and what goes, mark utilities, and pull the permits the township requires.
We've been doing this work across south central Pennsylvania for years, including the kind of tight downtown lots and busy corner properties where most of the job is making sure the rest of the neighborhood doesn't notice we were there.
Why Property Owners Around Dover Call Us First
A local crew, our own equipment, and a clean site when we leave. Demolition is half the job. The cleanup and the grade you walk away with are the other half.
Owner On Every Job
Brandon is on site or on the phone, not running you through a call center. You talk to the person doing the work.
We Own Our Equipment
Excavator, skid steer, dump trailer, all ours. No rental delays, no third-party schedules to chase.
Permits and Utility Disconnects
We help coordinate the township permit and the utility shutoffs so the job actually starts on time.
Clean, Graded Site When We Leave
Debris hauled off, hole backfilled, dirt graded. You don't inherit a mess.
Underground Utility Background
Our roots are in plumbing. We pay attention to what's under the dirt before we put a bucket in it.
Straight Pricing
A written quote that lists what's included. If the scope changes mid job, you hear about it before the meter runs.
From Sheds to Whole Houses
We size the equipment to the structure. A small shed gets the skid steer and a few hours. A full house teardown gets the big excavator, the dump trailer rotation, and a couple days. Either way the price reflects the actual scope, not a one-size template.
Debris Sorting and Hauling
Concrete goes one place, metal goes another, mixed construction debris goes to a third. We sort on site so you aren't paying landfill rates on rebar, and we keep the rolling stock moving so the job stays on schedule.
Structures We Demolish in Dover and York County
Most of our work falls into a handful of common categories. If your project doesn't show up below, give us a call. Odds are we've done one.
Old Houses
Full residential teardowns from 19th-century farmhouses to mid-century ranches. Foundation and all.
Garages and Outbuildings
Detached garages, carports, workshops, and storage buildings. Slab removal included if needed.
Barns and Pole Buildings
Pennsylvania farm country runs on old barns. We bring them down safely, salvage what's worth saving, and clear the footprint.

Single and double wides, with or without the skirting and decks. Hauled off and the pad cleaned up.
Concrete Pads and Driveways
Cracked slabs, old driveways, sidewalks, and equipment pads. Broken out and hauled off the property.
Sheds and Decks
Smaller jobs we knock out in a day. Decks, sheds, hot tub pads, anything you want gone from the back yard.

Demolition Services FAQ
Houses, garages, sheds, barns, pole buildings, mobile homes, decks, hot tub pads, concrete driveways, and small commercial structures. If you're not sure whether your project is in our wheelhouse, send us a few photos and we'll tell you.
We coordinate with the township and help you get the demolition permit. Some townships require the property owner to be on the application, but we walk through what's needed and handle the back-and-forth where we can.
Electric, gas, water, and sewer all need to be properly disconnected before a demolition starts. We help you coordinate those calls with the utility companies. We don't disconnect the lines ourselves, but we make sure they're done before we put a bucket on the building.
Usually yes. Most demolition jobs include breaking out the foundation, hauling off the concrete, and backfilling the hole so the lot is graded and ready for whatever's next. We'll quote it as a line item so you can see exactly what's included.
A small shed can be done in a day. A detached garage usually takes a day or two. A full house teardown with foundation removal and grading runs three to five days depending on size, access, and what we find. We give you a realistic schedule in the quote.
