Our Story

Over 30 Years in the Dirt

South Florida Demolition Services has been tearing down structures across South Florida since 1992. We handle residential and commercial demolition for homeowners, developers and general contractors. Every job is permitted, insured and code-compliant.

Based in Fort Lauderdale, we're family-owned and operated by the O'Connor family. We clear the site so South Florida can keep building.

Jack O'Connor started South Florida Demolition Services in 1992 with a straightforward idea: do what you say you're going to do, and don't cut corners. South Florida's construction market moves fast, and Jack saw early on that clients needed a contractor who'd deal with the permitting headaches and environmental rules so they didn't have to.

Over thirty years, we've grown from a small local crew into a full-service demolition firm. We own our excavators, crushers and loaders. No rental companies in the chain. Today, Jack is joined by Brendan O'Connor, who runs field operations, and Rebecah O'Connor, our licensed General Contractor. They make sure every job site, from a house in Rio Vista to a warehouse in Doral, meets our standards for safety and speed.

Why Experience Matters

Demo in South Florida Is Different

Demo in South Florida is different from anywhere else in the state. You have a high water table, sandy soil and some of the strictest environmental codes in the country. We've been here since 1992 because we know how to handle these realities.

Integrity

We give you transparent, hard-quote estimates. No hidden fees or "surprises" in the fine print.

Professionalism

We treat your property and your neighbors with respect from the first site walk to the final grading.

Safety

We don't take shortcuts. We follow all federal, state and local protocols to protect our crew and your project.

Recycling

We prioritize on-site crushing and material recycling to keep debris out of South Florida's landfills.
