    UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY IN DEMOLITION SINCE 1968

    Since 1968, Midwest Steel has been hard at work building one of the most enviable reputations in the demolition industry. It all began back in 1957, when our founder, Richard Kravoletz began purchasing scrap metal from the petroleum, aerospace, and defense industries. He quickly became known as an honest and fair businessman. That legacy of integrity remains at the beating heart of our business to this day. 

    Today, Midwest Steel is proud to serve America’s vital industries from coast to coast with a range of services, including dismantling and demolition of oil refineries, tanks, plants, and much more. We believe that to be a world-class demolition contractor, it’s not enough to simply know your trade. You must also take care of your employees and uphold the highest standards for safety, compliance, and environmental stewardship. We built our reputation by doing exactly that, every day, week, month, and year since 1968. 

    We have distinguished ourselves in the dismantling and demolition industry by going the extra mile to understand what matters most to every client and seeing that they get it. We deliver nothing less than exceptional service and we refuse to compromise on safety or compliance.

    DEDICATED TO WORKPLACE SAFETY

    As a nationally recognized demolition contractor based in Houston, Texas, Midwest Steel has always made the safety of our employees and clients a top priority. Our culture of personal responsibility and integrity is made clear by both the work we do and one of the demolition industry’s best safety records.

    Evidence of Midwest Steel’s commitment to safety:

    • Accident-free since 2012
    • No OSHA or EPA Citations since 1968
    • Over 3,500,000 man-hours with no lost time
    • Standard Insurance liability limits $22 Million

    OUR COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

    Midwest Steel’s dedication to workplace safety is just one of many characteristics upon which our solid reputation rests. We are trusted by many of the nation’s largest petrochemical and industrial corporations because of our exceptional reputation. 

    Simply put, we do not cut corners here. We know it is far easier to build a good reputation than it is to repair a bad one. Integrity is everything to us. Midwest Steel is proud to have been recognized for our unwavering commitment to excellence.
