Built for Old Orchard Beach's Rental Season
Old Orchard Beach has drawn vacationers for more than 170 years, and a large share of its housing stock operates as short-term or seasonal rentals during the summer. That means demolition and rebuild work usually needs to happen in the fall, winter, or early spring, before the next rental season starts, and Briggs Contracting can schedule around that calendar.
Many of the town's cottages are smaller, older structures on tight lots close to the beach, which calls for a different scale of approach than a large inland teardown. Coastal exposure also wears down decks, siding, and outdoor structures faster here than inland. Old Orchard Beach has its own building and zoning approval process, and Briggs Contracting acquires the necessary permits on every job.
Why Old Orchard Beach Property Owners Choose Briggs Contracting
Briggs Contracting was founded in 2008 by Chaz Briggs, who managed large-scale disaster-recovery demolition in Houston after Hurricane Harvey before bringing that experience home to Maine.

Old Orchard Beach Demolition Questions
Can you work around a property's summer rental schedule?
Yes. Many Old Orchard Beach properties are used as seasonal rentals, and Briggs Contracting can schedule demolition and rebuild work for the off-season, so the property is ready before the next rental period.
Do you handle smaller cottage-scale demolition on tight beach lots?
Yes. Old Orchard Beach's older cottages often sit close together on tight lots, and Briggs Contracting has the experience to work carefully in that setting.
Do you handle coastal exposure issues, like worn decks or siding?
Yes. Salt air and direct ocean exposure wear down decks, siding, and outdoor structures faster near the shoreline, and removing and replacing them is routine work.
Do you handle permits for Old Orchard Beach projects?
Yes. Briggs Contracting acquires the necessary permits and follows Old Orchard Beach's applicable building and zoning codes on every project.
Will you rebuild after the demolition is done, or just remove?
Both. The same crew that handles demolition also completes remodels, deck construction, and landscaping.
