About Environmental Demolition Group

Environmental Demolition Group (EDG) is a specialized contractor trusted by facility managers, healthcare administrators, developers, and procurement teams to safely and responsibly manage complex projects.

We focus exclusively on selective demolition, commercial interior demolition, asbestos abatement, and hazardous material removal: work that requires planning, precision, and deep technical expertise.

From older commercial buildings to active facilities, EDG partners with clients who need more than a general demolition contractor.

100+ Years of Combined Experience in Environmental & Selective Demolition

EDG was founded in 2004 by Shawn McGinness with a clear goal: to build a specialty contracting firm capable of handling the most challenging environmental cleanup and selective demolition projects.

From the beginning, our company has been guided by a safety-first mindset and a commitment to doing work the right way, especially in environments where compliance, occupant safety, and operational continuity matter.

Selective Demolition, Abatement, & Hazardous Material Removal Services

EDG isn’t a general demolition contractor. We perform selective demolition exclusively for commercial and institutional buildings.

Our core services include:

  • Selective demolition and commercial interior demolition
  • Asbestos, lead, and mold abatement in older and regulated buildings
  • Hazardous material removal and environmental remediation
  • Support for renovation, upgrades, and phased projects in active facilities

This specialized approach allows us to plan carefully, reduce risk, and maintain control throughout every phase of a project.
