Had about 450 sq ft of tile removed by Doug in about 7 hours that would have taken me at least 4 times longer and 10x messier. Doug and his crew were totally professional and courteous. He kept me informed from the first day I contacted him for the job. They arrived at the time they said they would and finished early without sacrificing work quality. My tile guy said BKD did a great job prepping the concrete slab. They absolutely have the right tools and techniques to get the job done! The biggest plus and what I believe separates him from the rest is the lack of dust! 99% dust free is true! Worth every penny to have Doug demo the floor. Without a doubt, 5 stars all the way. read more

Doug is great! He's professional and courteous. We had him remove floor tile and carpet. The home was treated with care and best of all no dust from the tile removal. Job was completed swiftly. Highly recommend! read more

I called to request a quote for my house tile demo. I got a very prompt response and they were very easy and willing to work with my limited schedule. I had to reschedule a couple times and they never failed to follow up on them. I was eventually given a general estimate/pricing for their service but also realistic situations that could potentially arise and incur additional fees. I really appreciated their honesty and professionalism. I ended up going with another vendor purely due to additional projects around the house. However, I wanted to give this place a 5 star review and a shout-out for their awesomeness! read more

If you're thinking about removing tile, book now! Doug showed up a little early, ironed out a few wrinkles we had with accessibility, and was very accommodating. After all was said and done it took about 5 hours to do roughly 350 sq ft. Very good and detailed work. Looks amazing and my husband is excited he didn't have to do it! read more

First let me start off by saying Doug and his crew are amazing! We had 400 ft.² of tile to remove because we were getting new laminate floors put in. My husband removed all of the tile and the remaining thin set was so thick it was impossible for us to get out. I called Doug and he was really prompt and super friendly and gave me a great price. He came by within a couple days with his crew and removed all of the thin set completely dust free. It was like magic!!! I could not believe that there wasn't any dust in the house considering how thick the thin set was. He removed three 60 pound bags of dust from the house and the floor was perfect. No thin set left over supersmooth superflat ready for floors to be installed. I could not be happier with his work and his company. I highly recommend him to anyone who is having any type of flooring removed. He is awesome!!!! read more

I'm in the process of installing hardwood floors in my house. Upon inspection of the concrete slab, we discovered that the whole house was once covered in tile. I was referred to Doug at Bare Knuckle to remove all the old thin set. Doug came in with one helper and within four hours cleared out around 800 sq ft. with minimal impact to myself or my belongings. The equipment they use is top of the line and connected to a vac system with hepa filters to decrease the dust created. During this process I didn't see any airborne dust or smell any. Afterwards they came trough and vacuumed any remaining dust on the floor. Doug took his time and answered all questions that I had. Including the process, filtration system, and disposal of the dust. I would highly recommend Bare Knuckle to anybody in need of floor demo work. read more

When we decided to remodel our floor, I didn't realize how difficult removing tile from a concrete slab foundation was going to be. A friend recommended Bare Knuckle Demolition because of the nearly 100% dust-free job they do. It was worth every cent! Doug came in with all the proper equipment and took out about 350 square feet of tile in just a few hours. This would have taken me weeks! Thanks Bare Knuckle for an outstanding job. read more

I'm a Do-It-Yourself kind of guy so when it came to doing a small addition to our home, NO problem. Well that project kept expanding and it became a whole house make over, this means taking out the carpet and tile. Carpet no problem, tile, well heck I'll look that up on U-Tube and see what the best way is to remove that. There's some really good U-Tube videos that make it look easy. Well maybe if the house wasn't lived in. I went and rented the standard cement grinder to help remove the thin set from popping the tiles and got to work. WHAT a MESS! Our house looked like it had been vacant for centuries and been through some dust storms. Well if that wasn't enough we still had one big hurdle and that was the pad we poured was a bit higher than the existing pad. What that meant is we needed a larger grinder, besides I still had more tile to remove that wasn't expected till wife said otherwise. Okay no problem I'll rent one of those machines that they show on U-Tube with a vacuum and do it myself. Well after being disappointed that you can not rent the vacuums that keep it dust free I began to have second thoughts. What if I error and grind too much then what? So I began a search for a company that grinds(removes thin set) floors. That was a problem into it's self, what do you look under. Any way I came across Bare Knuckles, Doug came out explained the process and the cost. I was in. I am so pleased with their workmanship and thoroughness. Do yourself a favor and begin with these guys instead of ending up with them as I did. So much less frustration it's well worth the cost. read more

Many residential customers have contractors come in to do a project and the financial aspect is usually what leads the direction in who one chooses to do the work. From personal experience and having run demo and installations crews for high end custom homes and residential remodels, I can assure you NOT all companies or crew hands are the same!! I'm new to Tracy (from Chicago) and needed to update a home (remove tile main floor) we purchased 6 months ago and opted not to do the work myself. This team led by Douglas are professional, organized, clean and efficient well beyond my expectations. The equipment used is high end to avoid excessive dust, prolonged noise and time these crews spend in your home. Look for expertise and the peace of mind. I urge anyone requiring a demo crew for commercial or residential, don't waste your time looking anywhere else. I didn't know them before but will absolutely recommend to any and all to use their services. Thank you Kip at Spencer Flooring for introducing them. read more
