SEATTLE, WA — Ascendent Demolition, a demolition and site preparation company, announces its expansion into the Mountain Region, now serving Idaho, Montana, and Oregon. This strategic growth strengthens Ascendent’s footprint across the western United States.

As part of this expansion, Ascendent welcomes industry veteran Nick Tidwell as the new Mountain Region Demolition Manager, based out of the company’s latest regional office.

Tidwell, born and raised in Idaho, brings more than 20 years of experience in demolition operations and project management. He began his career as a general laborer at 17, developing his expertise in interior demolition, abatement, and high-reach structural demolition while quickly rising through operational leadership roles.

“After speaking with Rick and meeting the Ascendent team, it became clear that if I wanted to feed my passion for the demolition business, this was the place to be,” Tidwell said. “This opportunity is two years in the making — time I’ve spent getting to know the company and the culture I’d be joining. I’m excited to build a strong footprint for Ascendent in the Mountain Region and contribute to the mission of becoming the largest demolition company in the West.”

In his new role, Tidwell will oversee lead generation, project scheduling, crew management, and regional operations — while also expanding his expertise in estimating and executive-level decision-making.

“Nick’s leadership, operational skills, and passion for the industry make him an outstanding fit for this role,” said Rick Estes, Owner of Ascendent Demolition. “We’re thrilled to have him onboard as we continue our growth into new markets and serve customers throughout the Mountain Region.”

The expansion marks a major milestone for Ascendent Demolition, which continues to bring advanced equipment, a safety culture, and demolition expertise to commercial, industrial, and public-sector clients across the West.
