Average Cost to Demolish a House

$5-$15 per sq ft

If you live in an area with a low cost of living and your house doesn't contain any hazardous materials, you can likely multiply the lower end of this average ($5-$10) by your house's square footage to get a general idea of how much your project will cost.

If you live in an area with a high cost of living or your home contains hazardous materials or other complications, you should multiply the higher end of this average ($10-$15+) by your home's square footage to get a general idea of how much your project will cost.
