I can't recommend SMI Demolition highly enough. I received three bids for our project, and SMI…read morestood out from the beginning -- they were incredibly prompt and responsive during the bidding process, and their pricing was competitive. Once we hired them, they handled the entire project professionally from start to finish, including permitting and inspections. They showed up when they said they would, kept everything moving, and did an unbelievable job overall. I was so happy with their work that I've already hired them for a second project, and I fully expect to use them again for several upcoming projects. It's rare to find a contractor who is this responsive, reliable, fairly priced, and easy to work with. Highly recommend SMI Demolition.

I appreciate that they came out to bid the job, but what a waste of my time…read more They asked for plans, so I sent them the structural & architectural drawings to review prior to our meeting. They then scheduled a time to come out. We went over the project, and I was told it was definitely something they do & getting me a quote would be no problem. Later that day I was informed it would take a couple of weeks to get back with the quote, because they do several bids a day & it takes time to get them out. 3 weeks later (this morning) I get an email saying they won't be bidding my work, because they are changing their scope of work, and this just isn't the kind of job they're looking for. Too bad, because once I learn the building process on my ADU I have plans to move on to doing a small subdivision.... And things will only go up from there. My family has built residential & commercial real estate for decades, and I am presently looking for the right people to use in the future. Not the best way to run a business, but hey.... Maybe they don't think long term & that's ok. Most business like that will peak & by the next generation will diminish into nothing. These guys wasted my time, and ultimately acted too good for my job.

Five plus stars for GHS! GHS originally did our front lawn, putting in all new sod, irrigation,…read moreplanting beds and a new walkway. We were so impressed with their work crew and the quality of the job, that we also had them do our backyard about a year later which involved putting in a new paver patio, artificial turf and walkway. Both projects turned out even better than we had hoped! Dan does a thorough job of coming out and discussing your project needs and "wish list" of things you want to do. He creates a design and a budget and he works with you every step of the way, addressing your questions, concerns and/or modifications. Throughout the course of both projects we changed our minds about a few aspects and Dan was flexible and made sure we were 100% happy with the final result. His office team is also super helpful and responsive since Dan is often out on site. I also cannot say enough about the crew he has working for him. They show up every day on time, they are very neat and clean up at the end of each day. They work very quickly but they are also meticulous in getting every detail right. I cannot recommend GHS enough. No matter how big or small your project is, Dan and his team will do an amazing job!

I ran an auger down the drainpipe. Nothing. Time to call the professionals. Jorge came out on short notice and handled the issue quickly and professionally. He cleared the drain pipe with a Big-Boy auger and used a scope to inspect the area just to make sure. He was fast, courteous, and very easy to work with. I appreciate the prompt response and his professionalism. Jorge is a Superstar! The other positive reviews tell the story. If you need fast reliable plumbing help, contact J.J. Rooter & Plumbing.

I don't write many reviews anymore, and honestly, I haven't had many contractor experiences that…read morewould motivate me to change that. But Lassiter Excavation was so good that I couldn't continue to be lazy.  For context, I was replacing an old 35,000-gallon swimming pool with a skinnier lap pool. Lassiter started by completely removing the massive 1975 pool, including every scrap of concrete and piping.  Then they backfilled and compacted. Working to my soils engineer's specifications, they imported and compacted 18 truckloads of quarry fines in carefully controlled 8-inch lifts through the full 12-foot depth of the deep end, all the way to finished grade. They used multiple pieces of equipment, including jumping jacks, a Bobcat, and a vibratory sheepsfoot roller (which I had to look up), and they coordinated compaction testing throughout the process.  When they were done, it looked like a pool had never been there. The site was fully prepared for the new excavation, which Lassiter then completed flawlessly.  I measured their forms with a laser level and laser tape measure, and length, width, diagonals, position and elevations were all within 1/8 inch. That's impressive considering the new lap pool is nearly 60 feet long. When they were finished digging, the walls and floor were razor straight and right on their marks. The crews were outstanding -- friendly, hardworking, detail-oriented, and consistently professional. They maintained an exceptionally clean jobsite throughout the project and even helped me reclaim some old redwood decking.  Special thanks to Santana, Ricardo, Daniel, Jose and team for answering all my questions and caring so much about the end result. If you're considering any excavation work, I highly recommend reaching out to Lassiter Excavation and talking with Bob. They exceeded my expectations in every respect.

Thankfully I found Grizzly Demolition on Instagram! Nathan and his team will handle the whole project for you. They took care of demoing a large plot of concrete pad from a 3 bedroom house, a chain link fence and the footing for the fence (which, surprise, went two feet deep!) for us and hauled all the debris away, which totaled a couple tons in his huge 10 wheeler dump truck! Nathan was able to get us on the schedule quickly, and the work was done effectively and surprisingly quietly! He has very specific and specialized machinery to do the job. This very large project was completed in less than 48 hours. Very easy to work with, and THE PRO expert for residential concrete demo and removal.

Due to the difficulty and risk involved for excavation, it was hard to find a contractor to take on the job but from my initial consult with Victor, him and his team noted their experience with these scenarios and he was confident they can do it in less than a day. On excavation day they brought the necessary equipment and tools and were very cautious about the gas pipe. They ended up finishing the job in less than a half day! To follow up, we realized we needed more excavation at the apron of the driveway and Victor again came to the rescue and excavated that for us a week later. I sincerely appreciate the time efficiency and skill that Victor and his team have in getting our excavation needs completed. I highly recommend Victor and his team and will always reach out to him first when we need more excavation for future projects. Thanks Victor!
