Pottstown Borough sits in the northwestern corner of Montgomery County along the Schuylkill River. It's a community with deep industrial roots and a housing stock that reflects its history — older rowhouses, mid-century homes, and commercial properties that frequently require demolition services. Whether you're a homeowner renovating a century-old property, a landlord clearing out a rental unit, or a developer preparing a commercial site, APES Demolitions brings the right equipment and experience to Pottstown.
APES Demolitions has completed projects throughout Montgomery County since 2021, including work in Pottstown and surrounding communities like Limerick, Royersford, and Collegeville. We understand the unique challenges of working in older urban neighborhoods — tight access, aging materials, and properties that may require extra care around adjacent structures.
This guide covers everything Pottstown property owners need to know about hiring a demolition contractor — pricing, permits, and what to expect on demo day.

What Should Pottstown Property Owners Know About Older Homes and Demolition?
Pottstown's housing stock includes many homes built before 1980, which means asbestos and lead paint are common concerns. Before any demolition work begins on a pre-1980 property, we strongly recommend:
Asbestos Testing
Asbestos was commonly used in floor tiles, pipe insulation, ceiling tiles, and siding in homes built before 1980. Have a certified inspector test suspect materials before demolition begins. APES Demolitions does not perform asbestos abatement.
Lead Paint Assessment
Lead paint is present in most pre-1978 homes. Interior demolition that disturbs lead paint requires proper containment and disposal procedures. A certified lead inspector can assess your property.
Utility Disconnection
All utilities serving the structure being demolished must be disconnected before work begins. Contact your utility companies in advance — disconnection can take several days to schedule.
