Maine Winter Storms and Emergency Demolition: How Briggs Contracting Is Ready to Help
Winter in Maine is unpredictable and often unforgiving.

Heavy snowfall, ice storms, strong winds, and fluctuating temperatures can cause serious structural damage to homes, commercial buildings, barns, and outbuildings. When storms strike, safety becomes the top priority—and in some cases, demolition is the safest and most responsible solution. Briggs Contracting is proud to be a trusted demolition partner for Maine property owners during winter storm season.
Ice accumulation and snow load can place immense pressure on roofs and aging structures. When a building becomes compromised, waiting too long can increase the risk of collapse, injury, or damage to surrounding property. Emergency demolition may be necessary to eliminate hazards, protect nearby structures, and allow for safe rebuilding in the spring.
Briggs Contracting understands the urgency these situations demand. Our team is experienced in assessing storm-damaged structures and determining whether partial or full demolition is required. We work efficiently and safely, even in challenging winter conditions, to stabilize properties and prevent further damage. From residential garages to commercial buildings and agricultural structures, we have the equipment and expertise to respond quickly when winter weather takes a toll.
Winter demolition in Maine requires specialized knowledge. Frozen ground, snow-covered sites, and limited daylight hours can complicate demolition work if not handled properly. Briggs Contracting plans each project carefully, prioritizing site safety, debris control, and environmental responsibility. Our crew takes proactive measures to minimize disruption and ensure the job is completed correctly the first time.
Storm-related demolition often goes hand-in-hand with insurance claims. We regularly coordinate with homeowners, business owners, and insurance adjusters to provide clear documentation and timelines. Our goal is to reduce stress during an already difficult time by delivering dependable service and straightforward communication.
As Maine continues through the heart of winter, Briggs Contracting remains on call and prepared. Whether a structure has been damaged by heavy snow, ice, or high winds, we are here to help property owners take the next safe step forward.
If you are dealing with storm damage or have concerns about a compromised structure this winter, contact Briggs Contracting to discuss your demolition needs. Safety, reliability, and experience matter—especially when winter weather is at its worst.
