I'm very happy with what they did. It was a nice demolition job and nice removal of all the junk. They cleaned up after themselves very well.
Description of Work: They did some demolition in the basement and general removal of the debris and some old junk that had been accumulated after some flooding.

Ventura came out on Saturday morning and gave me the estimate and his men came in about an hour and a half to do the work. They did exactly as I had asked, in a quick and efficient manner - wouldn't even stop for a cold drink when I offered one - and they were done in about 2 hours. Both spaces were cleaned out and swept, as though nothing had been there. They were polite and friendly, as Ventura's workers always are. This is the 3rd time I have used this company and last year my son also used them, on my recommendation, to clear out his late father's apartment. They have never failed to satisfy in the way they go about their work and Ventura, with his friendliness and charm is his own best advertisement
Description of Work: Garage full of junk was completely cleaned out - also a small space under the back porch where we had accumulated several mowers that didn't necessarily work, an old chest of drawers that things nested in and a couple of cartons filled with odds and end pieces of wood, etc. (this was a space that a person could not stand up in without bumping their head).

Ventura had given us a quote for the work after we had done some demolition ourselves. The price was the best we found and he didnt require a dumpster which was a must for us. His workers worked efficiently and although it took a day or two beyond what he had thought, we are happy with the results.

It took a few hours for them to saw apart and remove a huge outside jacuzzi. They had to carry the pieces down three flights of stairs. It happened to be snowing and the wind was blowing quite a bit, so we were not expecting them to come, but they did and they did a wonderful job. They cleaned up and did not damage anything in the process. We were very satisfied and would use them again.

Ventura is awesome. Came by to give us an estimate the same day I called. Scheduled quickly. He was running late the day of demo, but I called him & he explained. Came with two other workers & a big truck. They worked til noon, took a break, then Ventura left. Couple hrs later the other workers said they were finished & left, but they had forgotten to clear the debris from the crawlspace, so we called Ventura who called them back to the job. Ventura came back later to make sure they had finished the job to our satisfaction. When he entered the crawlspace he found an old window that they other guys had missed, & he broke it down & carried it out himself. They swept the basement floor clean. What a dramatic difference! Ventura gave me a 5% Angie's list discount AFTER I mentioned Angie's List & asked for a discount. Be sure to get Ventura's cell number in case of problems (like we had with the workers leaving without finishing the job). The problem was quickly & easily remedied with cell.
Description of Work: Demolished basement closets & shelves, removed drop ceiling from basement, cleared debris from crawlspace, basically cleared the basement to the cement walls

Ventura was a dream to work with. He was prompt for our appointment for an estimate and was very thorough. I explained what I needed and we quickly came to an agreement. The four man crew he sent to do what was a horrible, messy job did so without batting an eye. They were polite and worked very hard. What took them two hours would have taken me two months and when they left I had my basement back! I would highly recommend Chicago Hauling and will definately use them again.

MR. MUNOZ WAS PROMPT AND RESPECTFUL OF THE NEIGHBORS. ALL THE DEBRIS WAS REMOVED AS PROMISED. I WILL USE HIM FOR ALL OF MY DEMOLITION / HAULING WORK. GREAT FEATURE WAS THAT HE HAS HIS OWN VEHICLES - NO DUMPSTER NEEDED SO WE DID NOT INTERFERE WITH NEIGHBORS AND DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE USING THE DUMPSTER AS IT WAS REMOVED EACH NIGHT.

This is the second time I have used this company, and I was impressed all over again by the work they do, as well as just the general pleasant nature of the whole crew. Reasonable prices, as well, and they leave the area swept clean. I wouldn't bother calling anyone else.

I called and talked to Alvaro. He came by a few hours later. After looking over the space and work involved, we agreed on a price and start date. On the first day, they were running a bit late, and Ventura called ahead to let me know there was no problem. The crew was small initially but fast hardworking workers. The workers wore respirators (not dust masks) the whole time. On the second day, they were on time (8:30) and worked hard til 5 PM. They cleaned up really well too. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: They did demolition of plaster and lathe in front half of 2nd floor apartment and stairwell (roughly 700 sq ft.). Demolition was required of lowered drywall ceiling and the original ceiling underneath. They removed a few wall studs from others previous remodeling. They also took about 10 large heavy bags of trash from a basement cleanup. All debris was loaded into their 15 -20 yard dump truck and hauled off each day. The whole job took two days. No dumpster on the street was necessary.

Less than 24 hours after I called my old conrete sidewalks were gone. Ventura's father Alvaro came out to give us the estimate the same day we called, then he returned with a crew the next morning (10 minutes early!). They were polite and they worked hard. I'd definitely use them again.

I called on Fri afternoon to inquire about services. They came out Sat to give an estimate and returned Monday morning to haul the carpet away. They were running late, but called to let me know. The work was done quickly. They were very friendly and cleaned up the space afterwards. I thought the price quoted me was a little steep compared to the prices given for other services performed that I saw on Angies List. And considering there were 4 guys - they were done in no time at all. But, it's my fault for not negotiating - I was sick of looking at the carpet and wanted it gone :-)
Description of Work: Carried out and hauled away carpeting and padding that was removed from 2 bedrooms (approx 12 x 12) from a 3rd floor unit. Carpet and padding was removed prior to their arrival and piled up in extra room.

I called Ventura on Thursday, and the work was done on Saturday. He even could have done it sooner had my schedule worked. I was a completely satisfied customer. I had forgotten about the Angie's list discount. I called back and Ventura told me to take 5% off the quoted rate of $275.

I called Ventura on Wednesday, on the off chance that I could get him out the next day to give me an estimate, since I had to be home for the plumbers anyway. He came out Thursday morning, gave me the estimate, and actually brought his crew back that afternoon and did the work. He also gave me an estimate on some hauling that I am going to need later. They were hard workers (they really had to wrestle those posts out of the ground) and they left the space clean to the ground, chasing off two possums who were living under all that junk.
Description of Work: demolished and removed old dog pen and all of the junk that had accumulated in it. Removed several large pieces of drywall from upstairs hallway, and several assorted pieces of junk & garbage from the basement
