Dig & Demo are very professional. They respond quickly, communicate clearly, and provide updates throughout the demo project. We were on a tight timeline, aiming to complete the demo before moving into our new home, and Dig & Demo took our needs into account, completing the project ahead of schedule. They were very informative about our options, completed all permitting, and were present for inspections along the way. Their pricing is very fair and transparent - no surprises at all! The work was done well, and they cleaned up the property to its original condition afterwards. Michelle and Brett were lovely to work with. I recommend this company if you are looking to demo a pool and avoid any headaches! read more

These guys are true pros. I can't imagine going anywhere else to remove a pool. Duwayne came out for the bid which was thorough. Michelle was the master coordinator who kept on top of things.

I didn't have to worry about managing these guys at all they took charge and did everything right and kept me updated throughout. It is a really tough job that you want done right and they can do it. read more

Excellent work by Dig & Demo, the crew consisting of Juan and Jose were prompt, curtious, and had a high degree of work ethic. They always left our yard better than it was prior to their daily departure. On the last day of work they put all patio furniture back in place, power washed, and reinstalled a small fence that was removed for the excavation equipment to be used. Genuinely pleased with how the yard looks, and is ready to be landscaped after the partial pool removal. Thank you! read more

We had to remove our 10K Gallon pool in the backyard and received several bids from different contractors. Undoubtedly Dig&Demo are worth the money you pay for the job. They take care of everything: - Demo - Fill - Electrical Wiring - Fixing back the fence - Getting the permit from the city Michelle has been very efficient and clear in all the communication through out the project. Their crew is extremely skilled and professional. Shoutout to Miguel and Jamie who are one of the best people I have worked with. They are very fast, skilled, and respectful. It is annoying for them how they had to do so many iterations with smaller machinery as the access to our backyard was narrow. But they handled it very professionally. They are two-men army who don't only do the demo, but also, soil compacting, electrical wiring, and fixing the fence door back. On top of everything, they left the place very clean after the job was done. DuWayne did a great job of delineating the whole project and working with the city for permits. Would recommend them for your pool removal projects. read more

We recently hired Dig & Demo to remove our old in-ground pool. and part of the concrete that surrounded the pool area. They also leveled out an area of our yard that had sunk over the years. The crew finished the work in less than a week, cleaned and power washed our driveway where the equipment was parked. They offered several options and pricing, and were honest in telling you what to expect. Great job, good communication and responsive team. Would highly recommend them if you need to have your pool removed. read more

Dig and Demo came recommended to us by a very busy real estate office. We did our own research and found very positive reviews. We met with Duwayne and was impressed with his knowledge and detailed estimate. We are so incredibly pleased with the work Jose and Juan completed. Jose Manuel (Manny) also did a great job. Wow! Such hard working and professional individuals. So respectful of our home and our neighbors, and such exceptional nice people. From beginning to end, they did an amazing job, hauling away all the concrete, power washing what was needed and also cleaning up before leaving each day. Juan and Jose are absolute experts in this process and we highly recommend them and this company. Also our interaction with the office, Michelle and Christina were prompt, friendly and professional. The entire job took about 5 days, which is also amazing. Thank you Dig and Demo! read more

We needed to have my pool removed. Submitted inquiry at 5 pm, D&D is the first one to respond, in 10 min. They had Brett coming to my house to provide a first hand assessment of the project in two day (could be the next day if was available in fact). Brett looked at the access to my backyard, explained to me different types of removals I could elect to have, and also gave me some possible money saving advices. I got a quote from them D&D a day after that, which is a Saturday. All super responsive. A day before the job started, Sunday, I found a bobcat, and a portapotty standing by my house already. Once the job started, Jose and the team would be one site at 8 am. They needed nothing from us, except when they need to turn back on the gas line and come into our garage to light back on the water heater. The job was done in 1.5 weeks, 8 working days, completely painless. An interesting observation is that, when they needed to dump truck load of dirt in front of our house, they have things scheduled super well. A new truck will surely be arriving right when the old pipe was gone, as if the mountain of dirt was just next door or something. Not sure how they did that. Everyone is super professional, as well as friendly. They think for their clients when presenting options. Michelle was the one that keep in touch throughout via texting, who very responsive and warm. There was one time I texted her back at 10 pm, hoping that was her working number and expecting het getting back the next day, but got her reply in 5 min. Didn't want that to happen but felt good at the same time (the selfish part of me). Overall, they really made this easy and pleasant. I don't have a second pool to remove, but otherwise I would use them again without a doubt. read more

In 2022, Dig & Demo did a Full-Removal-with-Engineered-Backfill of my 40-year-old, 10,000-gallon fiberglass pool. They also removed 20 tons of concrete patio that covered most of my side and back yards. The experience was absolutely 5-Stars from start to finish. The estimate, contract signing, and scheduling were done in June 2022, and the actual job started and was completed in November 2022. I selected Dig & Demo over other companies for the following reasons: 1. The many positive Yelp reviews 2. Reasonable estimate with detailed list of work to be done (Another company gave me a one-page, boilerplate estimate at almost twice the cost!) 3. Knowledgeable estimator who answered all my questions and addressed my specific needs in the estimate 4. Dig & Demo provided the appropriate company background information (license, insurance, BBA rating, references, etc.) and promptly responded to all my emails and texts. The reasons why the actual job was a 5-Stars experience: 1. The workers were professional, approachable, highly competent, and efficient. 2. Every detail was addressed and once the work began, I didn't need to be home. 3. All permits and inspections (pool demolition, engineered-backfill, and final inspection) were taken care of by Dig & Demo according to plan, and all necessary documents were provided to me at the end of the job. 4. I wanted to wait a year before doing any landscaping to see how the back and side yards drained during the rainy season. The ultimate test was the CA rains of January 2023 and the drainage was superb. I highly recommend Dig & Demo. I can honestly say that everything about working with this company turned out better than I could have imagined. read more

Great experience and highly satisfied with Dig and Demo services from start to finish. I had a partial removal of my swimming pool, removal of all pool decking, and an extra 300 sq. feet of concrete removed from my side yard. It took 5 days for completion. DuWayne was my estimator and main contact with office support from Michelle and Christina. Good communication and follow-up all around. Miguel and Jaime were the demolition crew. They were professional, competent, and hard working, amazing how fast and efficient they operated. Thank you for the great service. read more

After checking with other pool removal services we went with Dig and Demo. Excellent company to do business with. They said it would take about 5 days to remove and once the weather was conducive that is all it took. Miguel and Sean were excellent in cleaning up afterwards and putting things back in place which was a big concern for me. I wish more people were like this company to do business with. I would highly recommend this company I only have praises for them. And thank you DuWayne for your act of kindness! If I could give you 10 stars I would. read more

Dig & Demo - General Contractors Near Me

We had Dig & Demo handle a pool removal for us. I was mostly in contact with John who was great in explaining the process and overall communication. D&D's initial bid wasn't the cheapest but they were able to price match with another vendor I was considering. We decided to go with D&D because of their good communication and follow up. They were very prompt and always got back to me quickly. They were able to secure the permits quickly and completed project within the time frame they stated. The only thing I would reiterate to anyone considering this type of work is that access to the site is important and understand that these Bobcat machines are heavy! Due to the nature of this equipment they will most likely damage concrete, grass and sprinklers in it's path. Our concrete driveway has scrape marks/chips from the Bobcat machines while they were scooping the dirt and all our sprinklers and grass that were in it's path were destroyed. So we are now looking for someone to fix this which is obviously an additional expense. I'm not sure if there was a way to prevent this but just something to be aware of. Other than that we were happy with the results. read more

***Update: Showing our finished backyard. We found Dig & Demo via Yelps and got our swimming pool completely removed in April. Sean and Miguel worked in our pool and they did a great job. We did fully engineering removal and we think that total cost was relatively fair for the job. Though our yard wasn't done within a week as promised since it was sprinkles for a couple of days and they had to wait for the soil to be dry but overall, we are very happy with a job well done. We're highly recommending Dig and Demo if you're looking for a contractor to work on your swimming pool removal. read more

Dig and Demo recently removed my swimming pool that was leaking and was never used. I cannot say enough good things about the job they did. I interviewed multiple companies and chose Dig and Demo. They took exceptional care of the landscaping which I was concerned with. They even propped up some redwood tree branches rather then cutting them in order to drive their equipment to pool area. They double covered the driveway and ground all the way to the pool area. The clean up was very good as well. Dealing with the crew was a pleasure . friendly, and courteous and knowledgeable. Highly, highly recommend this company! read more

Last month, Dig and Demo did a complete removal of our in-ground swimming pool. After initial inquiry, we promptly received a proposal with a reasonable quote. The proposal was in great details and it answered many questions I had, and the communications with their office was prompt and useful. The crew led by Miguel did a fantastic job. They were patient, meticulous and resourceful and they managed to complete the job in about 12 days. I am glad that I made the right decision to use their service, and would not hesitate to strongly recommend Dig and Demo. read more

I needed my old in-ground pool to be removed. This is a full removal, not a collapse-and-fill. I got three quotes and Dig and Demo came out top on price and had very positive references. DuWayne came over and gave me a great overview of the process, clarifying what I needed to expect in the process. Then José and Manny did the work. They did a great job and cleaned up everything at the end. Highly recommended. read more

We hired D&D to remove a 25K-gallon pool that took up 85 percent of our backyard. It was an older pool from the 50s, in poor condition, and would need repair in the near future, so we decided to remove it. I'll begin by saying Ryan truly means it when he says he wants you to be happy. He strives to do the best work possible and follows through. Many contractors get a bad reputation for promising more than they deliver. But Ryan proves he does want to leave you satisfied with your project. I will say though no one is perfect. There were some issues, ALBEIT MINOR, but this is why we gave D&D 4 stars versus 5. Overall, we are very happy with the pool demolition. We can't believe it took such a short amount of time for the pool to be demolished, debris removed, and sod and sprinkler system put in. Now we can claim our yard back and enjoy it! Each day the work was completed as expected with minor hiccups with inspection, but this isn't unusual when it comes to City permits. Here are some issues, again minor but if you're reading this you might want to be aware of some things to ask Ryan about ahead of time so you can avoid this. He does want you to be satisfied, so keep in mind all the things I'm mentioning below was resolved. Day One: they arrived on time including Ryan and began working. It was nice to see the owner coming and not just a crew he sent. The next few days were fine, but the issues came in the form of things that were left broken around the house.The one critique I would offer D&D is the lack of communication when something was broken or used by D&D at our property. I understand certain things are unavoidable when demolition equipment comes through, but it's the lack of communication to us after the fact that we weren't happy about. For example: 1. Small lock to outside breaker box was broken. We had to call him to get that replaced. 2. Our water hose was used and was poorly put back together. So badly in fact, the hose was crimped in several places. 3. The lines to the water lines that go to my plants across the sidewalk were broken. This can't be avoided I get that with the heavy equipment, but the lack of communication was frustrating. 4. The post to the fence was cut to get the equipment in. Again I get it, that's unavoidable. Ryan added a brace to it but the fence leans heavily towards the street. I'd like to emphasize we realize there is no perfect construction project. However, this came very close. One thing about Ryan that stands out amongst other companies is his responsiveness!, He was very responsive via email and phone calls. He would return an email or phone call within the same day, sometimes within the hour! He even came by on the weekend to get issues resolved. At the end of it all, we were happy our pool has been removed. read more

Dig and Demo completely deserves 5 stars! We needed to demo our pool and had interviewed many companies in the area. There were those that came in with a sickle and saw and the big pool building guys. We decided to go with Dig and Demo because they had great references (over 500+), the best price hands down (difference between them and others was anywhere from $3K-5K). The owner Ryan is wonderful to deal with--highly professional and always available to answer any questions and concerns. Here are some quick comments on the job itself: 1. The job was done with NO glitches 2. The team that came to do the job worked really hard and had a great attitude 3. They brought heavy duty equipment that the company owns 4. The job was completed on time 5. All required permits were provided to us 6. The cleanup after was superb! I wish there were more companies in the construction business like these guys! read more

I highly recommend Dig and Demo. They are an outstanding company. Their employees are professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and importantly, clear communicators. Dig and Demo sent DuWayne who thoroughly explained their process, gave me an estimate, and their projected time frame. His relaxed manner encouraged me to ask my layperson questions. He gave me the time to think about what I imagined my yard would look like when the job was complete. Miquel, Jaime, and Juan were always on time. They let me know what to expect [especially when they needed to get large trucks in and out efficiently so I could keep my car accessible]. They coordinated with companies doing other work on my property keeping everyone working efficiently. They also graciously accommodated a few last minute changes and I was happy to pay the very reasonable change order charges as I got exactly what I wanted. Michelle coordinated everyone and kept communications smooth. She was always accessible. Michelle promptly answered any questions that Miguel could not answer or if I had a schedule question. Her gracious responses are another example of how professionally this company runs. Dig and Demo were able to complete my pool removal in the anticipated time frame and I know they worked hard to minimize disturbances to my neighbors. My backyard looks terrific and is ready for my new garden! I can confidently recommend them for any demolition work or pool removal work you need. And yes, I got estimates from 2 other companies before choosing Dig and Demo. I am so glad they did my work. read more

Based on written proposal and site survey - we went another direction with our project so cannot comment further. Ryan was punctual and friendly, provided very nice marketing material and followed up with an emailed proposal. Very slick and professional - nice job! read more

I had a unique demo job (a smaller indoor pool in a commercial building) as well as the removal of an access ramp and had Dig and Demo come take a look at it. First they told me they'd get me a bid for the job by next week... next week came and they gave me a call on Friday to say they were waiting on some permit info and would get me the bid the next week, I thought it was nice that they called to say they were going to be late. Unfortunatly the next week came, and I heard nothing, called on friday and they said the bid was 'almost done'. Another week went by without hearing anything, I called again and was told someone was finishing somethign up and they'd email it to me... another week later and still nothing, now I was getting annoyed. Maybe they don't have my correct email I tohugh, so I sent an email to them... still nothing. Maybe after taking a look at it, Dig and Demo wasn't interested in the job, thats fine. It's likely they were too busy giving 5 star service to other people. But I've gotten better service by the DMV before. read more

We used the services of Dig & Demo for our pool removal. We needed complete removal with engineered backfill. Ryan came by and gave us a competitive quote. He was very professional, courteous and highly responsive. We had the pool out and the area filled in roughly a week with all the necessary approvals and inspections taken care of. I highly recommend the services of Ryan and Dig & Demo. read more

Dig & Demo demolished my pool and removed all the concrete in my back and side yards. I am *very* pleased. They did this for very reasonable price, and everyone I dealt with was efficient and uncommonly considerate. That includes Sean, who provided the estimate, handled change orders, and stopped by periodically to check process. Also Miguel, who did the bulk of the equipment operation. He always cleaned up at the end of the day and was unfailingly courteous. And Michelle in the office, who handled billing and gave me timely reminders. I'm in the service industry myself and I know what it takes to work like they do. You may not realize how good they are until you've worked with a contractor who made you wish you lived in a tent. Dig & Demo is a class act. read more

Last year a massive Oak tree fell over my garage and part of my house in Lafayette. As a result, I spent my summer talking to contractors, electricians and various other tradespeople. By the end of summer, I was deeply frustrated with all these workers who behaved like grown up kids! While renovating the house, I also decided to remove the 50 year old pool swallowing up my backyard. After getting some great references, I went with Dig and Demo! Boy, it was a pleasure working with Ryan.He was very professional, responded to my emails within the hour, even while the work was in progress! Usually, contractors are brilliant about quick response before you sign the contract and not no quick after you hire them. Specially after my experiences with my house renovation, it was a pleasure to have worked with Ryan. The pool removal was quick and efficient! The pool was very difficult to access, (Lafayette hillside), an engineer told me the pool was done before the house was built. I can't imagine how else they could have built it. Anyways, it was a difficult job, and D&D did it well! They also cleaned up after themselves and power washed my driveway. I have no hesitation recommending this company. read more

Originally, I had planned to have Dig and Demo demolish the pool of the house we were moving out of. I chose him because he seemed to be the most knowledgeable, professional, and easygoing contractor, and his price was very competitive. I saw photos of his previous work and thought he did an excellent job. Other contractors only demolish the pool itself, but for the same price, he also removes the surrounding concrete so the homeowner can start landscaping from scratch. He's very patient and always quickly responds to my questions. The day before the planned demolition, I called him to let him know that my potential tenant actually wanted a pool for the house. He was very nice and told me not to worry about him, but to just act in my own best interest. He also voluntarily offered to refund my initial deposit upon cancellation of the demolition. I was very touched by his kindness and flexibility. He truly has passion for his work and isn't just in it for the money. In the future, I'd definitely call him up again if I need another demolition. read more

I highly recommend Dig and Demo for pool removal! Experts at what they do and top notch service. Shawn was excellent to work with, and his team followed with great service and care to our space. They are professional, keep to the schedule, and make sure everything is completed at quality work. They handle all the work for the permit, and meet with the inspectors. I enjoyed chatting with Shawn and this team. I can't say enough great things about them or this company. Superior service and experts in the field. Doesn't get better than that :) read more

There were several things I liked about this company: - They were one of the few that actually came to look at the pool before giving an estimate. - They have various ways of removing the pool (partial or full removal, engineered or non-engineered fill, and optional removal of concrete) and they explained the pros and cons of each. - We had some flowers next to the edge of the pool that we were sure would be smashed or damaged, but the backhoe operator managed to remove the entire concrete pool wall without touching them. - After almost a year the dirt fill has not sunk and rain water still drains away from the house even after many heavy rains. The only minor glitch we had was a mix-up on the starting day, but I understand that because we had changed it once or twice. read more

Ryan and his team went above and beyond to help the organization I work for - Save Mount Diablo - demolish two houses and a pool on one of our properties. The structures were becoming a huge liability and were degrading the sensitive habitats found nearby. The project site was on the top of a knoll, with very tricky access and limited work space. We were contemplating having to take the houses down by hand $$$ but Ryan's exceptional skills on the excavator cut down the time and cost associated with the project. Expert at pool removal - ours was teetering over a 300 ft hill/cliff and it was demo'ed without any issues. He was great about helping us separate and recycle all materials. He even threw in a bunch of his extra time to help us complete phase 1 of our habitat restoration project. Professional, fair, straightforward. Great company and a pleasure to work with. read more

I would like to thank Wade,John and crew for a terrific job... We had a 30+ year old pool that was a true money pit.... We found this company through the Diamond Certified directory... BEST choice ever! From start to finish, everyone was very professional and caring... If you have ever thought about getting rid of your pool, these guys are the BEST! They do it the RIGHT way so problems don't happen down the line.... These guys really know what they are doing! 5+ Stars!!! read more

I would highly recommend Dig and Demo. We used them to demo our pool as well as some surrounding concrete, decking etc. and they did an amazing job. Not only were they priced competitively but they made sure the job was done to our specifications even when it ran over a day. John, Tony and crew were a pleasure to work with and always courteous. Tony made sure our yard was beautifully graded at the end, making my husbands "vision" come true. If you have a pool and need it out these are your guys! read more

Ryan had bid quit low on the project, and we decided to go with them based on the comments on Yelp and his list of references. Here is how the project went. Day one, they brought in the bobcat, and started digging. Their digging machine failed. The machine operator Nick had a real attitude because his equipment wasn't working. Let's just say these guys don't take their time to protect your property. During the course of the work, a water line ruptured, and none of the crew were general contractor and had no supervisor who could fix it, and thus we were left without water to us in our house for over 5 hours. If you break something, you are responsible to fix it, well not these guys , real bad business ethics. They eventually left about five grand of concrete damage in the main drive way and in the alley on the way to the pool. read more

We are very pleased with the pool removal service we received from the team at Dig and Demo. Sean provided our initial bid to remove our large inground pool and was very thorough about staying in contact with us to schedule the job and check on progress. We had an unexpected issue with a tree needing removal for equipment to get in, and this was handled very efficiently to our satisfaction. This company is very professional and we highly recommend them for excavation work. read more

Ryan - a sincere thanks from both me and my wife. You and your team were absolutely great. Delivered on your commitment - accommodated a lot of our small asks. Your crew were extremely professional - you guys are the best and we will absolutely refer you to anyone who needs their pool removed! Our previous contractor bailed on us and found your company on google, read the reviews and just after one conversation with you I felt confident that our project will be done on time, professionally, with permit and clear all inspections. Thank you for your patience waiting for the Fremont city inspectors and getting the job done in record time - less than 5 days! We can move now and we are looking forward to enjoy our wonderful lawn (where there was an ugly pool before) once we get that job done. I was hoping you would do tree service, concrete and landscape work also! I could get all my work done through you. read more
