Portland's Commercial & Residential Demolition Experts

Welcome to Portland

Briggs Contracting is a Portland-area demolition company, and Portland is where some of the crew's largest completed projects are.

Owner Chaz Briggs brought his demolition and general contracting experience back to Portland in 2008 after honing his skills on disaster-recovery work in Houston following Hurricane Harvey — this is the market Briggs Contracting was built to serve.

Built for Portland's Mix of Old & Dense

Portland's commercial core often means demolishing part of a building while the rest stays open and operating — the Regency Hotel project is the clearest proof of this capability.

Older triple-deckers and rowhouse-style construction common in Portland's peninsula neighborhoods require careful work around shared walls and tight lots. Portland's market includes everything from single-family remodels to large commercial teardowns, often on the same block, and the city has its own permitting process that Briggs Contracting handles on every job.

Portland Demolition Questions

Have you completed large commercial demolition projects in Portland before?

Yes. Briggs Contracting completed a multi-phase demolition of the Regency Hotel in Portland while the building stayed open, and an interior demolition project at Top of the East.



Can you demolish part of a building while the rest stays open and operating?

Yes. This is exactly what the Regency Hotel project required, and it's a capability Briggs Contracting brings to other occupied-building commercial jobs.

Do you handle Portland's older, denser housing stock?

Yes. Briggs Contracting has experience working carefully around shared walls, tight lots, and older triple-decker and rowhouse-style construction common on the peninsula.

Do you handle permits for Portland projects?

Yes. Briggs Contracting acquires the necessary permits and follows Portland'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 bathroom, kitchen, and home remodels, deck construction, and landscaping.
