we clear it
Construction usually begins with deconstruction. Though taking apart a structure or clearing undeveloped land doesn’t appear to take much skill, knowing the right tools and techniques for demolition makes the job faster and safer. McKean’s Excavating & Barging utilizes the latest safety and controlled demolition techniques, while re-using or recycling as much material as possible, helping to reduce waste and subsequently reduces disposal costs.
