Demolition & Abatement Contractor Serving Southeast Michigan
Selective and mechanical demolition, asbestos abatement, and mold remediation for general contractors, institutions, and high-end builders across the Ann Arbor area and Metro Detroit. Licensed, insured, and trusted as a sub since 1999.

You might know us as "Great Lakes Demo."
We started in asbestos abatement in 1999 and grew into one of Southeast Michigan's go-to demolition subs for commercial and institutional work.
Why GCs Choose GLES
Demolition Done Right
Selective, architectural, and mechanical demolition self-performed by an experienced crew that works clean inside occupied and high-end buildings.
Compliance-First Abatement
MIOSHA-certified asbestos abatement with notifications filed, third-party air monitoring coordinated, and materials properly manifested. We're first on the job and we keep it moving for the GC behind us.
One Accountable Sub
Demo, abatement, and hauling under one roof. Fewer subs, fewer handoffs, fewer surprises on your schedule.
Accurate, Competitive Bids
Experienced estimators who price it right — no padding, no surprises.
Family-Owned Since 1999
Founded by an industry pioneer, run today by the next generation.
From Demo Day Through the Whole Build
We show up on demolition day with a roll-off already on site — then keep hauling for you through framing, drywall, and the rest of the build. Smaller trucks and containers that fit tight driveways and job sites without tearing up surfaces like the big haulers. One vendor, start to finish.
