24/7 EMERGENCY SERVICE
By Ben Raabe, CEO — Licensed Contractor | 25+ Years Experience
Bella Contracting Services provides commercial demolition and general contracting in New Haven, CT and across New Haven County, including Waterbury, Meriden, Milford, Hamden, and West Haven. New Haven County has no county-level building department. Connecticut abolished county government in 1960, so every demolition permit in the county is issued by the individual town rather than a central office. Because permits are handled locally rather than through one county office, a contractor’s familiarity with the specific towns matters more here than in areas with unified county permitting. Bella is a fully insured and licensed contractor (CT Demolition Contractor DMCR.003292) handling structural, selective, interior, and exterior demolition alongside commercial construction work throughout the county.

Permits and Asbestos Notification in New Haven County
Because Connecticut abolished county government in 1960, New Haven County functions only as a geographic and judicial boundary. Demolition permits are issued by each municipality in the county individually, not by a county building department. Separately, Connecticut requires a demolition notification to the state Department of Public Health for any structure being torn down, and any structure with suspected asbestos-containing material must be inspected by a licensed asbestos consultant before demolition starts. As with any commercial demolition project, coordinating this local permit process and the state-level asbestos notification is typically handled as part of standard project planning before work begins.
Our company follows a methodical and thorough plan with each demolition project we take on in New Haven, CT. Here’s a closer look at what you can expect from highly-trained and experienced demolition contractors:
Before any work begins, we perform a detailed survey of the demolition site location. We strategize about the most efficient ways to disassemble the structure and assess any potential safety hazards.
The exterior or interior of your structure will be dismantled in a timely and safe manner. We establish clear communication between our demolition contractors and clients, so you'll know what's happening during each step of the job.
Demolition projects can be messy. But when you work with our company, you won't need to worry about our demolition contractors leaving a mess behind. Once the job is complete, we take the time to clean the demolition site of any leftover debris and waste materials.
