Questions

Good to know
What does concrete removal cost?

Concrete removal labor is $62.50/hr with Machine Masters. The machine rental and concrete hauling or recycling are separate. A demolition company bundles the operator, machine, overhead and markup into one price; the operator model separates those costs so you can see exactly what the labor costs.

What concrete can you remove?

Driveways, driveway aprons, sidewalks, patios, concrete slabs, pool decks, footings, foundation concrete and curbs. Jay also breaks and removes concrete during house demolition and larger demolition projects.

Can an owner-builder hire you for concrete removal?

Yes. A property owner acting as owner-builder obtains any required permit, directs the project and rents or provides the equipment. Jay is hired simply as labor to operate the machine. Machine Masters does not pull permits or act as the contractor.

Can a contractor hire you just as an operator?

Yes. Contractors can hire Jay by the hour as an equipment operator or laborer to run a machine they supply or rent. The contractor keeps project direction, permits, inspections and disposal decisions; Jay runs the equipment.

Do you haul the broken concrete away?

The concrete is broken, consolidated and left haul-ready. Hauling and disposal are handled by the hiring party; concrete hauling and recycling runs about $650 per 10 cubic yards.

Can you pull the permit?

No — Machine Masters provides non-licensed operator labor only. Permits are pulled by the hiring contractor or by the property owner acting as owner-builder.

Concrete Removal Services

Breaking, demolition & removal

Concrete removal covers breaking out and clearing driveways, sidewalks, patios, slabs, pool decks, footings and foundation concrete. The same work is also searched as concrete demolition, driveway removal and concrete removal near me. If you are comparing demolition contractors near me, the difference is the structure: a demolition company bundles the machine, operator, overhead and markup, while Machine Masters supplies the experienced operator and you rent the equipment direct.

That separation matters when you are researching house demolition cost or the cost of a concrete tear-out — labor, rental and hauling stay visible instead of disappearing into one bundled number. Contractors can hire Jay simply as labor to operate their machine, and owner-builders can pull their own permit, direct the work and hire Jay by the hour the same way. Concrete removal also rides along with house demolition, site work and excavation when the old concrete has to come out before the next phase starts.
