ABOUT

ABOUT US

Since 1992, Melching Demolition has been clearing the way for what’s next. From shuttered industrial plants to high-risk, contaminated sites, we take on the jobs others won’t touch, and we get them done fast, clean, and by the book. We’re more than demolition. We’re a full-scope partner who performs every phase of the work—from tear-down to environmental remediation to site prep—without relying on subcontractors or excuses. Our crews are seasoned, our equipment is owned, and our track record is rock solid. At Melching, we believe neglected properties shouldn’t sit idle for decades. We believe in making land safe, usable, and valuable again. And we believe that honest, handson people should lead projects that matter. When we’re on the job, safety is the standard we live by. With strict compliance, experienced teams, and the right tools for every task, we’ve earned a reputation for doing dangerous work the right way. No shortcuts. No surprises. Just safe, efficient results. We’re trusted by general contractors, plant managers, and developers to handle the heavy stuff, because we’ve proven time and again that we can. From West Michigan to Ohio and Indiana, we’re growing our reach while staying true to what built us: grit, experience, and the ability to deliver when it counts. We’re not just tearing things down. We’re making way for progress—one site, one challenge, one clean slate at a time.

Featured Project
Nazareth Motherhouse and Campus

Kalamazoo, MI

Melching was contracted by the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph to complete the demolition of the Motherhouse and four additional campus buildings, totaling more than 350,000 square feet. The scope of work included comprehensive asbestos abatement, safe removal of the historic cupola, full structural demolition, site grading with fill and topsoil, and hydroseeding to restore the final areas. The project value exceeded $2.5 million.

"Work was completed on time and Melching was very thoughtful concerning items of importance to the City, such as saving trees, making the site accessible for community events, and trying to keep kids and urban adventure seekers out of the site."

-Darrick W. Huff, P.E., Principal SPICER GROUP, Inc.
