What Murray is built out of.
ASARCO ran a smelter at 5200 South State Street from 1902 until it closed in 1950, and the housing around old downtown Murray was built for the people who worked it — small pre-war cottages, boarding houses, and rental stock along streets like Poplar. After the smelter closed, State Street became auto row, I-15 came through in the 1960s, Fashion Place followed in the 1970s, and Murray filled in around all of it.
The post-war stock is mostly simple FHA-guideline brick boxes with Minimal Traditional detailing. There's also a genuinely unusual pocket of concrete block houses — the Buehner Cinder Block Company was set up in Murray to supply block for the smelter's stacks and moved into speculative tract housing with the leftover capacity.
Concrete block matters on a demo quote. It behaves nothing like a stud wall, it's heavier than people expect, and it changes both the method and the debris volume. Worth knowing before somebody gives you a number over the phone.
What that means for the work.
- Small-lot cottage cleanouts
- Pre-war houses near downtown, often rentals for decades, often full.
- Block and masonry demo
- Murray's concrete-block stock changes the method and the debris weight. Quoted accordingly.
- Garage and carport teardown
- Post-war additions that have outlived the house's needs.
In Murray
All seven services.
- Junk Removal
$695 a full trailer, $395 a half. Garages, basements, single items. Demo is in house, so nothing gets left behind because it's attached.
- Downsizing Cleanouts
You take what you're keeping. We clear everything else and leave the house swept. Removal only — no moving service.
- Estate Cleanouts
A whole house, emptied and swept. Usually after a death or a move to care, and usually on somebody else's deadline.
- Estate Sales
A real estate sale, run at the property. Sorting, pricing, staging, marketing, and the sale itself — 40% of what sells.
- Probate Cleanouts
For the executor and the attorney. The house emptied on a court timeline, documented, and ready to list.
- Hoarding Cleanouts
Discreet, unhurried, no judgment. Most of the people who call about this are calling about someone they love.
- Demolition
Structural and load-bearing, interior and exterior. Licensed GC, so the demolition permit gets pulled — a hauling company legally can't.
