Our Process

How Concrete Removal & Demolition Works

01

Assess & Estimate

We visit your property, assess the concrete to be removed (thickness, size, reinforcement, access), and provide a clear written estimate. If you want new concrete poured, we estimate both phases together.

02

Break & Remove

Our crew breaks up the concrete using the appropriate equipment for the job — jackhammers, skid steers, or excavators depending on thickness and accessibility. Rebar and mesh are cut and removed.

03

Load & Haul Off

Broken concrete is loaded onto trucks and hauled to a proper disposal or recycling facility. We don't leave piles of rubble on your property.

04

Grade & Cleanup

The exposed area is graded to a smooth, level surface. All debris is removed and the site is cleaned up — ready for a new pour, landscaping, or whatever comes next.

Why Choose Us

Why Our Concrete Removal & Demolition Stands Out

Old, cracked, heaved, or deteriorating concrete doesn't just look bad — it's a trip hazard, lowers your property's curb appeal, and can damage vehicles. Sombrero Construction provides complete concrete demolition and removal services across the Rio Rancho and Albuquerque metro area. We break out old driveways, patios, sidewalks, slabs, footings, and flatwork. Everything is loaded and hauled off to a proper disposal site. The area is graded and cleaned up, ready for new concrete, landscaping, or whatever you have planned. Many of our clients combine demolition with a new concrete pour — we demo the old surface and repour new concrete in a single, coordinated project. This saves you the hassle of scheduling multiple contractors and ensures the new work is done on a properly prepped site. Whether you're building a new driveway in Rio Rancho, adding a patio in Corrales, pouring a slab in Albuquerque's North Valley, or installing a block wall in Bernalillo — our crew knows the local soil, climate, and building requirements and delivers quality results on every project.

Complete Service

We handle everything — breaking, removal, haul-off, and cleanup. You don't need to rent equipment, find a dumpster, or coordinate multiple contractors.

Demo & Replace

Want new concrete after the old is removed? We do both phases in one coordinated project — demo, site prep, and repour — saving you time and money.

Fast Turnaround

Most residential demolition projects are completed in a single day. Demo-and-replace projects are typically finished within a week depending on the pour size.

FAQ

Common Questions About Concrete Removal & Demolition

Concrete removal cost depends on the size of the area, concrete thickness, reinforcement type, and site access. Contact us for a free on-site estimate — we'll assess your specific project and provide clear pricing.

Most residential concrete removal projects (driveways, patios, sidewalks) are completed in a single day — including breaking, loading, and haul-off. Larger projects or demo-and-replace jobs may take 2–3 days.

Yes — demo-and-replace is one of our most common projects. We tear out the old driveway, haul it off, prep the subbase, and pour new concrete — all coordinated as a single job. This is faster and more cost-effective than hiring separate contractors.

We haul all broken concrete to a licensed disposal or recycling facility. Concrete is one of the most recycled construction materials — it's crushed and reused as aggregate for road base and fill.

Yes. We do partial demolition for driveway widening, patio extensions, utility repairs, and section replacements. We saw-cut clean edges at the boundary of the work area for a precise result.

We take care to protect adjacent landscaping, fences, and structures during demo. For projects with tight access, we'll discuss the access plan during the estimate so you know what to expect.

Most residential concrete removal projects don't require a permit, but it depends on the scope and your property's specific situation. We can advise you on local requirements during the estimate.
