Veteran Pro Demolition serves Kilgore and the surrounding area — house and commercial teardowns, industrial demolition, mobile home removal, concrete, and site cleanup. Kilgore is roughly thirty-five minutes east of our Tyler base.
Kilgore Spans Two Counties
Kilgore sits across the Gregg County and Rusk County line, with the city extending into both. Add the City of Kilgore for properties inside town limits and there are three possible permitting authorities for a Kilgore address.
Requirements and fees differ between them. We confirm jurisdiction from the parcel rather than guessing from the mailing address — it is a small step that prevents a filing going to the wrong desk. More on the permitting process.
A City in the Middle of Real Growth
Kilgore has been actively planning and investing, and that shapes the kind of demolition work happening here.
The city guides development through its 2030 Comprehensive Plan, with downtown revitalization among its stated priorities. The Kilgore Economic Development Corporation has positioned the city as a manufacturing and logistics location, and industrial activity around Synergy Park has followed. Regionally, the planned I-20 and SH 31 interchange project affects access across this corridor.
Institutional investment is part of the picture too — Kilgore College continues to develop, including its health science education partnership with CHRISTUS.
What that means practically: more of the demolition work in Kilgore is clearing to build rather than removing a derelict structure. Downtown revitalization brings interior strip-outs and selective demolition. Industrial expansion brings commercial teardowns and site clearing.
Industrial and Commercial Work
Kilgore has more industrial building stock than most communities its size, which brings warehouses, shop buildings, metal structures, and tenant improvement work.
Commercial demolition carries requirements residential work does not: insurance certificates with additional insureds, bonding, disposal documentation, and an asbestos survey essentially without exception regardless of the building’s age. More on commercial demolition.
For downtown storefront work where the neighbors stay open, see interior and selective demolition.
Oil Boom Housing and Asbestos
Kilgore grew up around the East Texas oil field, and a substantial share of its older housing and downtown commercial stock dates from the decades when asbestos-containing materials were standard building products.
For anything built before roughly 1980, assume a survey may be required until it says otherwise. For commercial buildings, assume it will be. We hold TDSHS licensure and handle survey and abatement in-house rather than subcontracting, so a positive result does not add a second contractor and several weeks to your schedule.
