About Smith Grading

My name is Cody Smith, and I’m the owner and founder of Smith Grading. I was born and raised in Ooltewah, Tennessee, and after graduating from Ooltewah High School, I dedicated my career to the construction and excavation industry. Growing up around heavy equipment and spending years in the field gave me the experience and passion to build a company that takes pride in doing things the right way.

That’s why I started Smith Grading. We believe quality work, honest communication, and attention to detail are what set us apart. Whether it’s a small residential project or a large site development, we approach every job with the same commitment to excellence.

Our Demolition Process

OUR DEMOLITION PROCESS

01

Site Visit and Demo Plan

We start with a phone call and an on-site visit in Chattanooga to inspect the structure, access points, utilities, debris volume, and safety risks. Then we build a clear demolition plan, timeline, and estimate so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.

02

Safe Demolition and Removal

Once approved, we schedule the job, coordinate equipment, and handle demolition with the right excavation methods for the structure and site conditions. We control dust, protect surrounding areas, separate materials when possible, and haul off debris to keep your project moving safely and efficiently.

03

Final Grading and Walkthrough

After teardown, we clean the site, remove remaining material, and rough grade the area so it is ready for the next phase, whether that is land clearing, site preparation, or drainage work. We finish with a walkthrough to confirm the job is complete and that you are fully satisfied.
