Garrett Park is a historic, residential enclave in Montgomery County with strict architectural preservation standards and strong environmental oversight. The town commissioned the removal of a deteriorating structure that had become a safety concern but required the work to be completed with minimal impact on surrounding properties and town infrastructure.
RemacUSA was selected for its reputation for clean, surgical demolition and environmental compliance in suburban and residential settings.
Services Performed
✅ Pre-Demo Environmental Survey
Identified lead-based paint and universal waste in accordance with Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) regulations.
✅ Lead Abatement
Stabilization and removal of lead-painted wood siding, windows, and trim using containment and air-monitoring protocols.
✅ Demolition of Residence
Full takedown of a two-story wood-frame home, including chimney and foundation. Work included dust control, erosion prevention, and removal of footings.
✅ Tree & Landscape Protection
Installed root zone barriers and fencing to protect specimen trees and gardens on adjacent properties. Maintained street cleanliness daily.
✅ Site Grading & Cleanup
Final grading performed to match surrounding elevation. Clean fill imported. Site left ready for future landscaping or construction.
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge
The structure sat on a narrow lot surrounded by mature trees and neighboring homes with limited access.
Solution
RemacUSA used smaller equipment, operated within limited hours to respect noise ordinances, and coordinated with town officials and neighbors to minimize disruption.
Final Outcome
RemacUSA completed the project on time, without incident, and with full satisfaction from the Town Council and adjacent property owners. The work demonstrated RemacUSA’s ability to adapt its demolition and abatement methods to small-scale, community-sensitive projects.
