Verify insurance and any license your state requires, ask how debris disposal is priced (dumpsters and landfill fees are a big share of the cost), and confirm they'll handle utility disconnects and permits. For anything built before 1980, ask how they screen for asbestos and lead before tearing in.
Almost always for whole structures, and often for large interior gut-outs. Cities also commonly require utility disconnect sign-offs before issuing the permit. An experienced demo contractor will either pull the permit for you or walk you through it.
Demolition takes the structure down as fast as safely possible; deconstruction dismantles it to salvage lumber, fixtures, and materials — slower and sometimes offset by donation value. Some contractors offer both; say which outcome you want when you ask for bids.
The quote should say: hauled to a landfill or transfer station, recycled (concrete and metal often are), or left in a roll-off you pay for separately. Confirm the site condition you'll be left with — broom-clean slab, rough-graded pad, or filled and compacted hole.
