What we do
Heating, cooling, and everything else in the room
General contractors don't want demo on their crew's plate. HVAC installers aren't set up for it. General demo companies don't know a firetube from a sectional. We do this and only this, which is why the room is empty, clean and documented when we leave.
01
Heating system demolition
Boilers of every type and size, water heaters, flues and breeching, pumps and expansion tanks. Cast iron comes apart section by section; firetubes get cut where they stand.
Boiler demolition → 02
Cooling system demolition
Chillers, cooling towers, condensers and rooftop units. Refrigerant recovered, weighed and documented under EPA 608 before anything gets opened, by our certified tech or a certified recovery partner when the job calls for one. Cranes when the roof demands it.
Chiller & cooling tower demolition → 03
Mechanical room demolition
Piping, ductwork, air handlers, pumps, tanks, hangers, everything between the walls. Cut at the agreed termination points and hauled out so your mechanical contractor walks into a clean room.

If it needs removal, we remove it
Six ways the same crew, the same trucks and the same documentation show up, from residential basements to central plants.
Cooling systems
Chiller & Cooling Tower Demolition
Air-cooled and water-cooled chillers, rooftop cooling towers, condensers and rooftop units. Refrigerant recovered and documented under EPA 608 before anything is opened.

Full strip-outs
Mechanical Room Demolition
Everything in the room: piping, ductwork, pumps, tanks, air handlers, hangers and supports. Cut at the agreed termination points, hauled out, and the floor swept, so the next trade starts with a clean room.

Heavy moves
Rigging & Heavy Equipment Removal
Sectioning, skates, winches and cranes for equipment that was never meant to leave the building. The load path and the sequence are worked out before the torch is lit.

When the schedule breaks
Same-Day, Next-Day & Emergency Demolition
The 10 p.m. call. A failed unit blocking a new install, a sub that fell through, a room that has to be empty by Monday. Three days of scope in one working day is something we have done more than once, and we like the challenge.

Loaded, hauled, scrapped
Scrap & Equipment Haul-Away
Cast iron, steel, stainless, copper and dead equipment broken down, loaded and hauled to the yard. Recyclable metal gets recycled; the rest is disposed of to Colorado regulations.

Why the specialist beats the crew that does this once a year
HVAC demolition is heavy cast iron, pressurized systems, refrigerant, gas lines and equipment that can weigh 7,000 pounds a unit. Here's what changes when it's the only thing a crew does.
The generalistBoiler & Chiller Killers
Who shows up Whoever's available that week. An owner, on every job. OSHA 30 on the floor, accountable by name.
Refrigerant A third party, later. Or nobody. Recovered, weighed and documented under EPA 608 before a single cut, by our certified tech or a certified recovery partner, with the record in your closeout.
Rigging Figured out on the day. Planned before the torch is lit, load-calculated and proof-tested when the geometry demands it, photographed as it goes.
Fire discipline An extinguisher somewhere nearby. Hot-work permit, dedicated fire watch, blankets and shields, charged water and a post-work watch on every torch job.
The room after Debris for the next trade to deal with. Broom-clean, photographed and cleaner than we found it. Every time.
What you get at the end An invoice. Scope-completion verification, a before-and-after record by work area, and recovery documentation when refrigerant was involved. A package your owner can file.
Recent work
Proof, not promises
Every commercial job gets photographed before, during and after. A few from this year. Client and site names stay off the page until we have written approval to use them, because that's how we treat every client's information.
Rigging · Refrigeration · Occupied building
Twenty stainless vessels out of an occupied office tower
Downtown Denver · occupied office tower
Twenty 316-stainless process vessels at 1,500 to 2,100 lb each, one rigged down from 24 feet up in a glass atrium, then a full commercial kitchen: hood line, walk-in coolers and freezers, oven and ice machine. Refrigerant recovered across six circuits and three refrigerant types. Two contracts, signed closeout packages, zero incidents.

Boiler demolition · K-12 campus
Two 4-million-BTU firetubes, three days
Denver · public school mechanical room
Two 4M BTU firetube boilers, six expansion tanks, a heat exchanger and the mechanical-room piping cut at the agreed termination points. Sectioned, rigged through existing building paths and hauled, sequenced cleanly around the project's active abatement. Turned over to district standard.

Mechanical strip-out · High-rise
Six floors of high-rise HVAC, zero tenant disruption
Downtown Denver · occupied Class A tower
Twenty-three mechanical units and roughly a mile of copper piping sectioned and removed across six floors through elevator and freight constraints, with floor protection, scheduled access windows and daily broom-clean turnover. Tenants above and below never knew we were there.

What the people who hired us said
Names and companies held back until they've approved them in writing. The words are theirs, unedited beyond punctuation.
“You guys are the best I've ever seen. You did with three guys what would have taken me seven, in half the time, and finished on time without incident.”
“I don't know how you guys do it, but it's incredible. Thank you for busting ass and giving us room on our timeline.”
“Amazing job! Thank you so much. We appreciate all your hard work and willingness to help us out on these other items.”
“Thanks so much! Appreciate the good work you guys, and last minute! You are awesome!”
The partnership
Two owners. One crew. On every job.
BCK is run by two working managing members. One of them is on the floor, in the work, accountable by name, on every project we take.
Field Operations & Demolition
Gadge Bell
Founded BCK in 2017 with a truck, a torch and a reputation for showing up. Cutting boilers since 2011: thousands of removals, from residential water heaters to a 52-million-BTU firetube. Leads every jobsite and outworks everyone on it.
Business Operations & Engineering
Saber Dean
Came to BCK from aerospace quality engineering: AS9100 lead auditor, first-article inspection, certification packages on flight hardware. Leads business development and technical operations, from the estimate and the contract to the rigging plan and the closeout package. EPA 608 Universal. On the floor when the job needs him.
- Cleaner when we leave than when we got there.
- We take machines apart for a living, and we document it like flight hardware.
- Zero lost-time incidents since the company was formed.
- If it needs removal, we remove it.
How a job goes
Six steps. No surprises.
- 01
Reach out
Use the instant estimate, call, or email photos to projects@. You hear back within 1 to 2 business days. Small jobs and established customers can get a range over the phone.
- 02
Site walk
We aim to walk every job before we bid, 15 to 30 minutes, residential or commercial. A phone range is an estimate. The number after the walk is the proposal.
- 03
Written proposal in 48 hours
Scope, timeline, price, terms. Certificate of insurance and W-9 within one business day of acceptance, or sooner if your onboarding needs them.
- 04
You disconnect, we confirm
Gas and electrical are shut off and made safe by your licensed trades. We confirm readiness a week out and again a day or two before start.
- 05
Cut, rig, haul, scrap
Our trucks, tools, PPE and rigging. Most jobs wrap in one to three days on site, and if your new equipment is on site we can help set it on the cleared pad.
- 06
Walk-through and closeout
Broom-clean turnover, then the package: scope verification, the before-and-after record, and recovery documentation when refrigerant was involved.
Documentation
Closeout that survives review
Every commercial job ends with a signed closeout package. Your owner can file it, your PM can forward it, and nobody has to ask what happened to the refrigerant.
- Scope-of-work completion verification: every contracted item, its status, and anything waived in writing.
- Photographic record by work area: before, during and after, captioned.
- EPA 608 refrigerant recovery record, when refrigerant is involved: pounds by type, cylinder manifest, technician certification, receiving facility. Recovered by our certified tech or a certified recovery partner, documented either way.
- Certification of completion: signed by both managing members.
