In Carp
What the work looks like in Carp
Carp’s farmland has barns and drive sheds from many eras, from timber-frame barns to steel-clad equipment buildings. The City lists barns and silos as structures that do not need a demolition permit, while garages and most other buildings do. Steel siding and roofing go to scrap recycling, and timber can be salvaged if you want it.
Disposal is close at hand: mixed debris goes to the Tomlinson Waste Recovery Centre on the Carp Road corridor, which sorts it for recycling. Properties along the Carp River are in the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority’s watershed, so check with the MVCA before working near the river or floodplain.
Carp is a West Carleton village best known for the Carp Fair. More about Carp

Before work starts in Carp
The City requires a permit to demolish a building or structure, and its demolition page lists barns and silos as exceptions. A storage shed of 15 m² or less with no plumbing does not need a permit to build (ottawa.ca), but that exemption is about construction, so we confirm what applies to your structure at the site visit. Wired garages and sheds need an electrician to make the power safe first.
Barns and silos do not need a City demolition permit; garages, houses and most other buildings do (ottawa.ca). Along the Carp River, check with the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority first.
Any building from before 1990 gets a hazardous materials survey first. If it finds asbestos or other designated substances, abatement is referred to licensed specialists, and our crew starts after the clearance letter.
Disposal
Torn out. Hauled out.
Every job ends ready for the next trade. Here is where the debris goes.
Wood, shingles, metal and siding are separated where the site allows. Metal goes to scrap, concrete pads go to aggregate recycling, and mixed debris goes to a licensed sorting facility.
On larger jobs, a roll-off bin from a licensed bin company sits on your property, and the bin company hauls it away and handles the tipping at its own facility.
On smaller jobs our crew loads our own trucks and hauls to the Tomlinson Waste Recovery Centre at 106 Westhunt Drive in Carp, which sorts mixed construction and demolition debris for recycling and accepts commercial loads.
Mixed debris goes to the Tomlinson Waste Recovery Centre on the Carp Road corridor, so hauls from Carp jobs are short. Steel siding and roofing go to scrap recycling.

Asbestos & permits
We don’t touch asbestos. That’s the point.
Some demolition companies will tell you they do it all. We do the demolition, and we make sure the steps before it happen in the right order, by the right people: survey first, licensed abatement, then us.
Read the asbestos and permit FAQ- Built before 1990? Ontario law puts the onus on the owner to identify designated substances before a contract is signed. That means a designated-substances survey.
- Survey finds asbestos? A licensed abatement contractor removes it, and you get a clearance letter.
- Utilities and permit. Gas, hydro, water and sewer disconnected where needed. Enbridge alone takes about 44 days, so it gets requested first.
- Then we demolish. No change orders for surprise asbestos, no stop-work orders, no crew exposed.
FAQ
Shed, deck & garage demolition in Carp: questions
Can you salvage barn boards and beams?
Yes. Tell us at the walkthrough what to save and we remove it carefully and stack it for you.
Do I need a permit to take down my barn?
The City lists barns and silos among building types that do not need a demolition permit. Garages and most other buildings do, and we confirm which applies.
Is the river a concern?
Near the Carp River, check with the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority before demolition, since floodplain work can need their approval.
Do you work across West Carleton?
Yes. We work across Ottawa, which includes Carp and the rest of West Carleton.
