Cheltenham Township sits just north of Philadelphia in Montgomery County, spanning communities like Elkins Park, Wyncote, Glenside, and Cheltenham itself. The township's housing stock — a dense mix of Victorian-era homes, mid-century ranches, and post-war colonials — creates steady demand for professional demolition services, from aging garage teardowns to full interior gut-outs ahead of major renovations.
APES Demolitions has worked throughout Cheltenham Township since 2021, completing garage demolitions, interior gut-outs, shed removals, and junk removal projects for homeowners and property managers. We know the area, we understand the permit requirements, and we work cleanly in dense residential neighborhoods where access and neighbor relations matter.
