Tittabawassee Township grew from about 7,700 people in 2000 to about 10,600 in 2020. New subdivisions went up on ground that used to be farm field. Most demolition in Freeland starts the same way. An old barn, a failing garage, or a house past repair sits where you want something else.

Freeland lots hold their value. Census figures put the median home value here well above the Saginaw metro. That changes the math on a tired house. Repairs can run past what the house is worth, and the lot itself is the real asset.
A house teardown runs in a set order. We look at the property and price the job. Utilities get shut off and capped first, and in Freeland that includes township water and sewer. An asbestos survey is typically required before a structure comes down, and we handle that step. Then the building comes down and the debris leaves the site.
Some jobs take only part of the building. Interior demolition strips a house back to studs and subfloor so a rebuild can start clean. That is common ahead of a kitchen or basement remodel. Selective demolition pulls out one wall or one section and leaves the rest standing.
Farm ground still wraps around Freeland on every side. M-47 runs through open farmland north and south of town. The section roads are lined with parcels split off for houses. The buildings that came with those farms outlast their use. Barns lean and roofs open up. What is left becomes a hazard before anyone decides what to do with it.
We take down barns, sheds, detached garages and other outbuildings. A timber frame barn comes apart differently than a framed garage, and the approach changes with it. The slab or footings under the structure come out with the rest. Debris gets loaded and cleared off the property as part of the job.
Dead trees usually come with the same parcel. Michigan lost most of its ash trees to the emerald ash borer. Standing dead ash is common on rural ground here. If one leans over the barn or the drive, we take it down as hazardous tree removal first.
Tittabawassee Township takes its name from the river running through it. In May 2020 the Edenville and Sanford dams failed upstream in Midland County. The Tittabawassee hit about 35 feet at Midland, the highest level ever recorded there. Water reached low parts of Freeland.
That history matters on a demolition site. This is flat lake plain with heavy clay and a high water table. An open basement hole after a teardown fills up and the sides start to slump. We backfill and level the site on the same job so it sheds water instead of holding it.
Wet ground also sets the timing. Clay holds water into May, and machines chew up a soft yard. Frozen ground in winter and a dry stretch in late summer are easier on a lawn and a driveway. We plan the approach around what the ground will take.
Demolition in Freeland goes through Tittabawassee Township. The township runs its own building department and its own water and sewer. Permits for a teardown come from the township hall in Freeland. The water and sewer disconnect goes through public works.
Michigan law requires utility locates before any ground is disturbed. That is MISS DIG 811, it is free, and the contractor doing the digging makes the request. We file it and wait for the legal start date before a machine touches the ground.
An asbestos check comes ahead of most demolition. Federal rules typically call for an inspection before a structure comes down. A written notice also goes to the state agency, which in Michigan is EGLE. We take care of that step. The township building department is the final word on what your parcel needs. We go over the requirements with you before we start.
