I called Mr. Luis for an estimate last Friday; we met at my house Monday for a walkaround and estimate. The work was performed today, Tuesday, by the owner and two employees. The concrete stoop unexpectedly proved to be not hollow, filled with sand or debris, but made of solid, incredibly dense concrete. It took the three men, jackhammer, other huge mallets and such, all day, not the few hours expected. The work was professional and efficient, in spite of the fact the broken concrete had to be wheelbarrowed around the back and the other side of the house to the front yard and into the big hauling truck; clean-up was thorough. An enormous and nasty job. Mr. Luis made it clear he was proud of his reputation, when he ran into complications he never backed out of a job. Excellent service.
Description of Work: Demolition and removal of a 1950's concrete back 'porch' 3.5' x 5' x 2.5' tall, plus steps.

Contacted Luis (owner) by telephone. He stopped by same day to assess the job and provide an estimate. Pricing given was 40% less than lowest of 2 other quotes received. Project started within one week of quote, and was completed within time estimated (under 3 days). Luis brought 2 employees (whom were on his payroll), thus the team managing the demolition were experienced with this type of work. Luis checked in regularly on status and to insure all work was meeting expectations. The crew had a dump truck on site so to fill with debris as it was removed. Surprisingly, the crew kept all inside and outside very clean during this process. There were several items (doors, appliances and fixtures) which were to stay; all was left without any damage.
Description of Work: Complete demolition of 900 sq. ft. finished basement. Removal of sheetrock, floor covering, cabinets, insulation, and lumber. Hauling of all debris to landfill and recycler.
