About Us

Built on Hard Work,
Backed by Trust

Cochran Wrecking & Salvage has been a cornerstone of The Plains community for over two decades. What started as a one-man operation with a single excavator has grown into a full-service demolition and site preparation company trusted by homeowners, builders, and contractors across eastern Ohio.

We don't just tear things down — we plan every demolition with purpose. Our salvage-first approach means we recover materials before we dismantle structures, saving you money and keeping usable goods out of landfills. Whether it's a century-old barn or a commercial warehouse, we treat every project with the same care and precision.

Located right here on OH-682, we respond quickly to emergencies and schedule常规 projects with the reliability you'd expect from a neighbor, not a contractor.
