Few workplaces are worthy of a reality show, but Priestly Demolition makes the cut the company’s series,
Salvage Kings, has been airing on the History Channel since 2019. Producers teased it in a PR release this way: “They race against the clock, hunting through abandoned buildings and dangerous work sites for hidden treasures just before the walls come down.”
But, like every other reality show,
Salvage Kings shows a highly dramatized version of what really goes on behind the scenes at Priestly Demolition, which is a lot more careful and calculated. “When people think of demolition, they think of explosives and wrecking balls,” says company president Ryan Priestly. “Our work is engineered to a tee. There’s a lot of regulation.”
