Tear Down Costs - Houston, TX

[Tammie Spikes]

I have purchased a property with a house on it that won't be able to be rehab'd because of the extensive termite damage and wood rot.  The house is about 900 Sq Ft.  I have a tear down quote for $8000 that includes permits.  They will take care of the master plumber's permit and work to disconnect and cap sewer and water lines as well as electrical panel removal and gas line disconnects.  They will coordinate disconnections with CenterPoint and have a T pole setup. They will remove front fence to get equipment on property and after they haul away they will level the ground and get the final inspection of work complete from the city.  Does this sound like a reasonable price?

On a side note, I'm interested in possibly moving a house to the property after old house is removed.  If you are in the Houston area and know of a house that needs to be moved and in decent shape I would be interested in it.  My lot is narrow, 25 ft wide by 97 ft long.

Thank you in advance for any info,
