📞 Call (217) 809-0779 Free EstimateAn empty commercial building downtown or out on the highway doesn't just sit there — it's a tax line, an insurance headache, and a target for break-ins and code letters. When a small storefront, shop, or office has done its time, you want it down, hauled, and the lot left clean and ready for whatever's next.
Brohez Trucking LLC handles light commercial demolition across central Illinois — small-town Main Street storefronts, old gas stations and repair garages, small offices, restaurant and shop interior tear-outs, and ag-commercial buildings. I'll be straight with you: this is owner-operator work right-sized for the kind of buildings around here, not downtown high-rises or implosion jobs. If it's a one- or two-story commercial building, that's our lane.
The Komatsu PC150LC handles the heavy work. The JCB mini and Takeuchi skid steer get into tight lots and alleys and clean up after. Dump trucks haul the block, steel, and concrete straight to a proper disposal site. Building standing to clean lot is one job, one contractor.
We're straight about what's in the structure before we start, including any signs of asbestos in old tile, mastic, insulation, or roofing — common in older commercial buildings and nothing to bulldoze and ignore.
Commercial buildings put up before about 1980 can carry asbestos in floor tile, mastic, pipe insulation, or roofing. It's common in old storefronts and shops, and it's manageable — it just has to be handled the right way, not torn out and ignored.
When a building's old enough to warrant it, we coordinate the required inspection and the IEPA 10-day notification, and we don't cut corners on it. It's worth confirming the specifics with your local IEPA office, and we'll point you the right direction.
Talk to Levi — the man running the machine, not a call center. Call (217) 809-0779.
Every building is different. The basics don't change.
We come look at the building, talk through what's coming down, check what it's built from and how the lot sits, and give you a straight number. No pressure.
Commercial buildings in town need a permit and utilities pulled on record. We help sort the paperwork, call locates, and arrange to kill power, gas, and water to the building.
If the building's old enough, we coordinate the inspection and IEPA notification first. If there's fixtures or material you want saved, we pull it before the main demo.
The Komatsu works the building down in a controlled sequence — no dropping things toward the sidewalk, the neighboring storefront, or the street.
We break out the slab, footings, and basement if it's part of the job, separate steel and rebar for recycling, and load block and debris onto dump trucks for proper disposal.
We backfill, grade the lot flat, and walk you through the finished work. Clean ground — ready to rebuild, pave, or seed down.
Small commercial, right-sized for an owner-operator. If it's a storefront, shop, or small building in the way, we can probably help.
Small-town storefronts and downtown commercial buildings torn down clean, careful around the neighboring walls and the sidewalk.
Old service stations, repair garages, and small auto shops removed and hauled — tanks coordinated on site if there are any underground.
Single-story offices, professional buildings, and small commercial structures demolished and cleared so the lot can be reused.
Interior tear-out of restaurants, shops, and storefronts — fixtures, walls, flooring, and kitchen build-out stripped to a clean shell.
Old grain elevators' outbuildings, farm-supply stores, co-op sheds, and ag-commercial structures taken down and hauled off.
Selective demolition where part of a commercial building comes out — an addition, a wing, or a section ahead of a remodel.
Commercial slabs, footings, and old basements broken out, hauled, and backfilled so the lot is buildable again.
Block, steel, concrete, and trash all hauled to a proper disposal site. You walk away with a clean lot, not a pile.

It depends on the size of the building, what it's built from, whether the slab and foundation come out, utility disconnects, how far we haul the debris, and access to the site. We give free on-site estimates with a straight number. Call (217) 809-0779.
Yes. Selective interior tear-out is common commercial work — stripping a storefront, shop, or restaurant down to the shell so it can be rebuilt or re-leased. We pull fixtures, walls, flooring, and the kitchen build-out, haul it off, and leave a clean shell.
Commercial buildings inside city limits almost always need a demolition permit and utility disconnects on record. We'll tell you what's required, help you sort the paperwork, and call in the locates before anything moves.
