Demolition work in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County
We took down the old 16,000-square-foot Rural Hall fire station, just north of Winston-Salem, for the general contractor. Our crews removed the asbestos first, then demolished the building, hauled the debris and graded the lot.
A-1 also runs the Abbey Green transfer station on Overdale Road in Winston-Salem. Demolition debris from Winston-Salem jobs goes to our own landfill in Greensboro, so one company is responsible from the tear-down to final disposal.
We hold North Carolina General Contractor License #71646, and we handle asbestos inspection, removal and disposal with our own crews.
What we tear down
From clearing the lot to final grade
Demolition is only part of the job. Our crews clear trees and brush, put up silt fence and safety fencing, remove old parking lots and tanks, and grade and backfill so the site is ready for what comes next.
- Tree and brush clearing
- Erosion control and safety fencing
- Parking lot and storage tank removal
- Rough grading and backfill
Asbestos abatement: licensed, certified, and all in-house
We are the only company in the Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem markets that handles every step ourselves, from inspection through final disposal at our landfill. Our crews work with our equipment: 14 negative air machines, electric ride-on floor tile scrapers for flooring removal, and excavators with hammers, shears and munchers for the tear-down.
- Asbestos inspection and testing
- Abatement planning, notifications and permits
- Safe containment and removal
- Proper disposal with full documentation (manifests included)
Materials we remove
Rural Hall fire station
The general contractor brought us in to take down the old 16,000-square-foot Rural Hall fire station. Our crews removed the asbestos first, then demolished the building, hauled the debris to our facilities and graded the lot. One contractor for the whole job.

All done by our crews: tree clearing, erosion control, temporary jobsite fencing, friable and non-friable asbestos removal, an 8,000-gallon tank removal, demolition of the 60,000-square-foot building and boiler room, basement backfill, and rough grading and seeding. Metal and concrete were recycled, and everything else went to our landfill in Greensboro.
Doing it all ourselves saved the project owner an estimated $100,000 or more compared with the other bids. We also found a local hybrid academy to take the desks, chairs and school equipment left behind.
