Our Company

The Company’s ConceptionSoft Touch Demolition was born in a moment in time three days after the new machine was operational. Arriving at the city of Mound one morning to begin removing the diseased trees for the day, a police officer signaled Cliff and his new rig to pull over. The officer explained that the city manager had seen the incredible machinery arrive for the first time and wanted Cliff driven back to city hall to look at an important project. The project was simple; a small vacant house “sandwiched” between newer construction less than three feet away on two sides. The city manager explained that with this new machine, the house could be taken apart in pieces and safely removed without the worry of damaging the adjacent buildings.Cliff instantly realized that the new machine could quickly remove the structure in a safe way. A price was agreed upon that was less than the city would otherwise have paid to remove the house; for taking it apart by hand labor was the only other option. The next Saturday, without any help Cliff removed the house in less than five hours with this machine. When completed, the obvious idea to use this new machine to take apart buildings in tight places appeared and was seriously thought about for the first time. Thus the creation of a company from a single event was born.

About the Owner/Designer

Cliff Lutz came to Minnesota as a child. While growing up in Edina Cliff excelled in music to the extent that at the age of 17, he won a state wide competition to represent MN. in a renowned international band.After attending the U. of M. Cliff played professionally at the Guthrie and Chanhassen Dinner Theater for seven years. He chose to live a simple life in the country southwest of Chaska. His love of nature and his desire to be constantly challenged led him down a road not often traveled.When Dutch Elm Disease invaded the state with a vengeance in 1977, Cliff gave up his career in music to start Lutz Tree Service, contracting with many cities to remove their diseased trees.In 1985 he in-visioned a pulp loading machine faster and more efficient than those currently used, and paid Hood Equipment to build such a machine.

In The Past

With the acquisition of so many skills learned using this unique equipment, new challenges appeared quickly. In the beginning calls came in to remove roofs; then calls were received to remove entire second stories. Builders would hear of the machine and ask to have a house removed to its lower floor system or to a foundation which was to be re-used for new construction. Removing attached garages and additions became a daily occurrence. Mobile home parks found that the new machine was perfect for removing older homes that were in disrepair. Insurance companies found the new concept in demolition perfect for removing only those portions of a home severely damaged. The word spread and in 1998 a second more technically advanced machine was designed to keep up with the calls coming in. Soft Touch Demolition during its past 36 years of service earned a distinguished name for itself and held a unique position in the remodeling world.
