Footing Under Garage Wall
David L.

I have a detached garage, and I needed to run two Schedule 40 conduits from my service panel, underground, and into the garage wall. The problem was that there was a huge concrete footing under the wall (about 20 inches deep). My best option was to dig out the dirt under the footing, and then core-drill two holes through the bottom plate of the wall, all the way through the concrete footing. It was hard to find companies that specialize in core drilling, so I was really lucky to find "Todd's Core Drilling" in Costa Mesa. I called them, and spoke to the owner, Jim Todd, who was very friendly and helpful. He told me that his son Craig could do the job the next morning. Craig showed up promptly the next morning, and core-drilled two perfect holes in the bottom plate of my garage wall, which I never would have been able to do myself. The price was very reasonable. Craig was very friendly, did a quality job, and cleaned things up before he left. This is an excellent company; friendly, prompt, and great pricing. Highly recommended!

These guys are as good as it gets when it comes to fast and amazing work. I had a gas fire pit with 8x8x16 cinder filled with concrete that I put fake stone on top of. This fake stone Crap I put over the cinder shattered when I was applying it because it was such bad material. Having to core this out along with the cinder i figured it was going to be a mess and have to repair after inspection. They went through it like butter and it was SO clean I won't have to repair.(pictures above) So thankful we found these guys. Bill and his son were beyond clean and professional. When you see them roll up in the 550 you know they know what they're doing.

Concrete cutting incompetence.
Drew C.

I called these guys to do concrete cutting. Jim Todd's only focus is how much he's going to get paid and how quickly he can get paid. He thinks that showing up early is better than showing up on time. He charged me $600 and was on the job maybe two hours. His son caused damage to the property, cutting through a clean-out in the driveway. My call from Jim was "I got to get out of here, I've been here long enough. I need to get paid. It's just a little trap, I want to get out of here". Not only did he not take responsibility for the damage caused, he made light of it. Todd coring is an embarrassment to the construction industry. I will be contacting the Contractors State License Board to file an official complaint.

Couldn't Be Happier! Highly Recommend!…read more We honestly can't say enough good things about this company. We had a small demolition project--a 11x12 foot garden bed--and were worried that no one would be willing to take it on. We've had trouble getting quotes for small jobs in the past, but this company was amazing from the start. Enrique and his crew were incredibly prompt in their response to the pictures we sent them, and were able to give us a fair and upfront price without even needing an on-site visit. This saved us so much time and hassle. On the day of the demolition, two hardworking and efficient individuals showed up and got the job done quickly and perfectly. They not only removed the garden bed, but also took out the leftover tree stump and all the dirt inside it. What really impressed me was their attention to detail; they checked with me every step of the way, even before they dumped the dirt back in the yard, to make sure I was completely satisfied. They also cleaned the area thoroughly after the demolition to make sure it was spotless. They were a pleasure to work with. They really helped us out of a bind, and we are so grateful for their great work and excellent customer service. We will definitely be calling them again for any future projects and highly recommend them to anyone in need of demolition services, big or small!

I had a wonderful experience with Enrique and his crew. Enrique was very fast to respond to my…read moreinquiry (I got a response at 9 PM!), and was able to provide me with an accurate estimate that did not change after the job was finished. His price was extremely reasonable. I needed a yard cleared of debris and weeds. This was no easy task. The prior owner buried stuff like cement blocks and jars and glass, and the weed was so dried and the clay soil so compacted that I threw in the towel and called a pro. I'm lucky to have found Enrique. It was so convenient to be able to send photos for his review instead of waiting around for someone to show up in person. After I decided I wanted to proceed, he was able to come the next day. He followed instructions to the letter (there's a stray dog, enter the gate through here, etc). His team showed up promptly on time, and tbh I was asleep through most of it with the exception of greeting him and checking on the work at the end. They were so polite and non-disruptive given the nature of their work. I kept hitting brick after brick and roots that were feet deep. It was a lot tougher than it looked. I now have a nice, empty yard cleared of weed and debris and ready to start my garden. Thank you again to Enrique and his awesome crew for a wonderful job and giving me peace of mind at not having to stare at that eyesore any longer.

We went with Cali Shine Construction and are very happy with the results. Unlike other companies that treat customers like another number, Kaiky (owner) was very responsive, punctual and involved during the entire process. He addressed any concerns and provided suggestions on how to proceed with the project. We ran into a small snag during the day that required a second day, but Kaiky assured me everything would be completed as promised and he delivered. The end result was great. He and his crew were careful not to damage any existing structures, thoroughly removed all the debris, and left the work area AND surrounding areas clean and tidy. His solid 5 star rating is deserved and I would definitely hire Cali Shine Construction again for future projects.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!…read more My husband reached out to Cali Shine Construction on Monday morning about concrete removal job and a shed demo that was left undone from an other company. He explained everything that we needed and Kaiky quickly responded and was over in less than a hour to go over an estimate and how he would perform the service. Very professional, detailed and friendly. AMAZING Work from him and his team. He gave me a peace of mind and I finally have my back yard back after a stressful three weeks. Price was very reasonable as well. He provided the best quote and service with the earliest availability compared to any one else and I wish we contacted him sooner for other work. I will definitely be calling them again in the future for our construction needs. Thank you thank you thank you so much Kaiky!!

We hired Casper's Demolition to remove an inground spa and swimming pool in August 2022. We…read morereceived 4 bids prior to beginning work; Casper's was the most competitive. There was a bit of a wait to start including our city building department which was backed up. Once underway Dylan was an absolute pleasure to work with. He devoted all his energy to making it (a messy job) as seamless as possible. He worked diligently and efficiently to complete the job in a timely manner. When we asked him how much it would be to expand the scope of work by tearing out the surrounding hardscape and concrete patio, as well as an 8' high wood fence, he quoted us a very fair price and we proceeded. It was a complex job doing the demo around the existing posts of the patio cover which we wanted to keep. When the job proved more complicated due to the extra thick reinforced slab I offered to pay extra due to the amount of debris and extra work it took. He told me that it wasn't necessary, and honored his quote. Additionally, he took care of the coordination with the city and the soils engineer. As homeowners, having never gone through this process, we appreciated his experience and taking it off our hands. We easily passed final inspection :) You cannot go wrong with Casper's Demolition! He gets our highest marks!
