Testimonials
Job: San Diego Demolition & Hauling Services cleared a hillside for me and they included the first month's maintenance in the price.
Customer Comments: They are great and did a good job. He's an honest guy and he's also going to be doing my gardening because his prices are good. He returns calls promptly and he is very reasonable.
Job: Canales Demolition and Hauling demolished and removed over 1700 sq ft of 40yr old concrete patios and brick planters containing overgrown junipers and ivy from our backyard. Our home had access issues which limited the ability to use a tractor for the majority of the the work. At least 75% of the work had to be done by hand and wheel barrow. After demolition was complete they graded and leveled the backyard.
Member Comments: Joe (owner) from Canales Demolition is awesome. He was one of three companies from Angies List that I received estimates from for the demolition. Joe was the only person to call me back after submitting his estimate and he was willing to work with me on the price. Joe was the only person of the three that truly seemed interested in doing the job. Access to the site was limited and Joe and and his crew took tremendous care in preserving our existing landscaping while doing the demolition. The majority of this painstaking work had to be done by hand and Joe and his crew didn't balk at all. If you have any demolition or hauling that needs to be done you need to use this guy! Joe is honest, fair, and works hard.
Job: We had a wonderful experience. Saturday morning the day we were hosting a party the entire side of the house was full of debris from our kitchen remodel. The company we have loyally used cancelled at the last minute. In a panic I logged onto Angie's List find a company who could come right away on a Saturday. Since we were hosting a party we were in a panic.
Customer Comments: Started at the top of the search results and just a few numbers later got Joe of Canales Demolition and Hauling. He needed to call me back to check availabilty and promptly responded with a YES! We were very happy. Showed up, gave us an estimate before starting work and got the job done very nicely. Wrote a check and away they went leaving the area very clean and neat. Excellent!
Job: Demolition and hauling away approx 160 sq ft of concrete and saw cutting and removal of sod at 2 inch depth from entire backyard. This was done in preparation for new, drought resistant landscaping and ground cover.
Customer Comments: I called on a Mon afternoon and the owner Joe answered the phone. We made appt for him to assess the project at 8 am the next morning. He arrived promptly and understood exactly what I needed done. He did some measurements and calculations and figured the price right then. I told him my budget and I know he tried to work with me within those limits. We agreed to a price, which I thought was extremely fair. He agreed to start the next morning before 8 and he arrived on time, with 2 trucks and 3 workers. They immediately went to work. Joe worked with him, operating the jack hammer. They finished the job approx 4 pm. The concrete was completely hauled away and all the remaining soil was watered down and graded. They had to take out a piece of fence to access the hauling and they put the fence back in better shape than when they started. The yard and clean up was immaculate. This was the most positive experience I've had with any contractor, and I've had a lot! Joe was polite, knowledgable, honest and hard working. I HIGHLY recommend this company's services!
Job: I have a small backyard that was nothing but major weeds and dirt. Canales Demolition came in, cleared all of the weeds. Leveled the backyard and took is down two inches so that I can either cement it in or put in rocks for landscaping. He also hauled away all weeds, yard debris and excess dirt.
Customer Comments: I called the company for a quote and they got back to me the same day to schedule an appointment for the free estimate. Mr. Canales, Jr. showed up on time and was very helpful in showing me what needed to be done. His bid was the lowest of the three companies I contacted. He and his workers showed up on time and completed the job in the promised time frame. Considering this was a small job, I feel as if I was treated the same way he would treat a large contract. I would definitely use him again.
It has been very fortunate to work with Canales Demolition on our project here in Pt Loma. I have been very impressed by your crew and their professionalism and look forward to working with you again in the future.
To Recap brifly:
You were able to come out on short notice to bid my project while personally fighting the flu.
The proposal you submitted came in exactly on target for our budget and beat several competitors.
Canales Demolition was able to start the very next day accommodating our constricted time schedule and keeping us on track.
A sizable crew and experienced foreman came to the site with both heavy equipment and small tools to attack the work from multiple angles.
This allowed you to turn around the bulk of an estimated 2 day project in close to four hours.
Only later did I find out that the crew was coming off of a night job the previous evening. This was not evident by the energy level they exhibited.
Your company’s speed, precision and efficiency had me impressed and satisfied. Then that’s when it happened. You over delivered to the client. Without asking, the entire crew proceeded to clean the work area to a condition better than they found it. They also helped me to secure the site by reassembling a section of fencing relocated by the demo. Neither of these I expected, but so impressed me, that I have sung high praise in our company for your workmanship and was compelled to write this letter.
Thank you again for a job well done.
Job: Demolition and hauling/recycling of concrete slab, flagstone, and concrete walls.
Customer Comments: Joe and his team were professional, courteous, and punctual. The price for work performed was fair and they delivered to all of our expectations. We would definitely use their services again. Highly recommended!
