We are very satisfied clients of Express Demo, and grateful to Pierre, Anena and crew for a job well done. We contracted with Express Demo to give us a blank palette from which to recreate our ideal back yard. This meant filling in our swimming pool, removing all concrete decking around the pool & side yard, deleting all pool plumbing and electrical, and doing some light grading in preparation for our new patio. We were amazed that it took only 3 days to complete the demolition. The crew, which included Pierre, worked tirelessly to complete the job in the time estimated, and left our property in broom-clean condition. Having had mixed success with so many other contractors, we had no particular expectations about this job. And, we were quite nervous due to the type and scope of work involved, tight access, concerns about neighbors, so many worries. From the start of the job, it was clear that we were in good hands with Pierre and Anena. We really appreciated the crew’s professionalism, non-stop work ethic, care & concern for our property, and can-do mentality. And, Pierre and Anena were a delight to work with. For anyone contemplating a pool-removal project, or any significant demolition job, we will always and only recommend Express Demo.

Express Demo & Hauling graded my front yard and removed excess soil, rock, and other debris. They were extremely thorough, professional, expeditious, and reasonbably priced. I couldn't have asked for better service and would definitely use them again.

Well here goes! As a professional house remodeler with 30 years experience disappointment with contractors is the name of the game. By now we have weeded out the worst and only work with the best. But this was our own home and while we have a history with redoing pools we never had to have one taken out. Our old "Esther Williams" sized pool had to be removed to make way for a modern salt water one. This meant finding and dealing with a trade with which we were not familiar. So I went to the internet and found Anena and Pierre. Let me tell you that sometimes luck leads you in the right direction. We could not be happier with their workmanship, speed, cleanliness, professionalism or price. They delivered even more than they promised."

What can I say, I was nervous to deal with contractors as I have never had a good experience with any of them. Express Demolition changed that. We decided to remove our inground swimming pool and the surrounding concrete deck. I shopped three bids. Express came in the lowest. At first I thought, here I go again, turns out, they did a total demo at nearly the same cost one contractor wanted for a partial demo. They were quick (had the pool out in one day), came in on budget and were the nicest folks around. Highly recommended! They restored my faith in contractors. :)

The best price in town! I checked 5 different hauling companies and Express was the cheapest. And they did what they said they would. They came on time and took everything away perfectly. This is the only hauling company I will reccommend to my friends from now on.

"After 5 years of debating, we finally decided to have our tiny swimming pool removed from the backyard. We are very glad that Express Demo and Hauling took care of the job. All of our concerns and questions were addressed well in advance. We were constantly impressed by their professionalism, fair price, knowledge, courtesy, and the quality of work. We had concerns about the blooming nectarine tree by the very narrow path of the bobcats. Pierre and his crew tied back the branches with elastic ropes and bands. Now 2 weeks after the pool was removed, so many purple baby nectarines are happily sitting on the tied back branches. The gate to our backyard is only 1 inch wider than their smallest bobcats. It’s amazing that Pierre and his crew didn’t even damage the stucco on the side of the gate. They were also very smart in creating a covered path for the bobcats to ride on but didn’t damage our front lawn below the wood planks and the plastic covers (another company said that our lawn will be gone along with the pool). They cleaned up the street and sidewalk where the dirt was stored every day before they left. They swept clean our backyard after they finished the demo. Pierre even took away the old pipes and electric wires left in our yard after the SPA was taken away 7 years ago. Anena is more like a friend in the whole process. They are very nice honest people running an honest business. They have excellent work ethic and work very hard. I highly recommend them for your pool demo and waste hauling. Wish that I knew them 4 years ago that would save me quite a bit on the water, electricity, and pool treatment bills."

"We hired Express Demo to bury our very large pool located very close to the house. Pierre and Anena addressed all our questions and concerns prior to and during the demo. The job was handled quickly and professionally. We would recommend Express Demo to anyone with a demo need."

Express did a warehouse office demo for us. It was a time sensitive job. They met me at the site a day after I called to give me an estimate. They were professional, friendly & knowledgeable. Once the bid was accepted the job was scheduled within 24 hours. Their employees arrived on time and got right to work. They had the job complete in 3 hours. I would highly recommend their services.

My experience with Express Demo was overall OK, I contacted Express to remove a slope from my side yard. Anena gave me a competitive quote and was eager to start the project. Pierre and another co-worker showed up with two dump trucks and a bobcat to complete the job. The dirt was removed quickly and they were able to do some rock removal and tree removal for an additional fee. I was told that some of my brickwork would not make it through the weight of the bobcat, however three areas of concrete were damaged with no repair. The crew at Express was professional and quick.

After months of "discussing" whether or not to take the big step of having our swimming pool removed, we shopped around for a company that remove our pool. From our first contact with Express Demolition and Hauling, we were constantly impressed by their professionalism, their knowledge, their courtesy (ALL of their employees) and the quality of their work When the job was finished (several weeks later) we had some concerns about the condition of our sprinkler system. As soon as we expressed our concern, Express immediately was back out taking care of all of our concerns without any discussion or hesitation. Overall, I would unhesitatingly recommend Express. It is almost rare nowadays to come upon a company that is not only so professional and so competent, but is also so courteous. Thanks Express

We hired Express Demolition and Hauling to demo our pool and spa and we could not be happier or more satisfied. We love having a useable back yard again and are happy to be free of the expense and maintenance of our old pool. Express Demo did an outstanding job and we are thrilled with the result. We were provided with an accurate estimate, all of our concerns and questions were answered well in advance, the crew arrived on time and worked diligently, and all work was completed as promised and in accordance with government codes/permits. The lot was left clean and graded exactly to our specifications. Best of all, it was fast! Our job was finished within the very short time period promised. Because of the steep access and tight work area (and as we had been warned might occur), there was a small amount of unavoidable damage to some bricks on our patio. Anena and Pierre promptly had their workmen repair the bricks and now our patio looks beautiful - exactly as it was before. What a pleasure to work with people who are not only good at what they do, but who have integrity. If they give you their word, they will keep it. We are so glad that we chose Express Demolition and Hauling for our pool demo. A potentially stressful event turned out to be a very positive experience. I cannot say enough good things about this company! Mary S. (Vista, CA)

We just had our swimming pool removed and now have the dream backyard. It is better than I had imagined with the recommendations and talents of the entire crew. Please consider them for your job. They work hard to get to the job done! Thank you for the great job on our place! It is absolutely wonderful!

Express Demo is a professional, experienced team, composed of Anena, Pierre, Eli and their crews. Both Anena & Pierre showed up to look over the work I wanted done; the owner was also there at the time. We were both impressed initially with their professionalism and courtesy. They asked questions to find out exactly what we wanted done. They followed up with a quote in about a day; they got the job. They removed a pool, which had not been used in about 10 years, filled with fallen tree limbs, etc. First, they obtained all the proper permits with the City of San Diego; which really helped out later when selling the house. They removed some hazardous chemicals from a side dark room; plus leveled out the back yard area once the pool was demolished. A few surprised popped up along the way; and they were all handled very well by both Anena & Pierre. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to demolish a pool and restore a backyard. They have a great office staff who is also highly responsive; and great crews who do the actual work. Thanks, Anena & PIerre, for doing such a great job!

Express Demolition & Hauling was awsome! They did a great job on demolishing and filling up our swimming pool considering how tough the job was. The pool was really deep and the entry way into the yard was small. It ended up taking them 4 more days to complete the job than they had anticipated due to various problems they ran into. But they stuck with it and finish it to perfection. Anena and Pierre were awsome throughout the process. They are really nice honest people who run an honest business. They have excellent work ethic."

"Express Demolition & Hauling recently completed our swimming pool removal. Their work was superb. They did the job perfectly, in accordance with the City of San Diego's stringent specifications for complete removal. They handled the job from A-Z: permits, concrete cutting, demolition, hauling, back fill, compaction, and coordinating with the soil engineer and City inspectors. The work was timely, and communication excellent. Their bid beat the competition by thousands. There was no attempt to upsell after we agreed on a price and terms. We couldn't be more pleased, and highly recommend this company."

""Anena and Pierre came out and gave me a very reasonable quote, and were able to schedule the work within just a few days. With the crew and equipment they sent out, the job was done quickly and efficiently, and now they are going to help me with fill-dirt to complete the process. The entire staff, from Anena and Pierre, to Elizabeth in the office, and Gustavo and the rest of the work crew, were wonderful to work with, and I thank you all very much!"

I looked at several pool demolition companies and Express Demolition was the ONLY company who actually followed up! In fact they followed up at every step of the project - from making sure their original bid was competitive, to keeping me informed of the process, to making sure I was satisfied with the job. Not only that... but they were also the only pool demolition company that even offered to help with the other projects I had going on. So I hired them to not only take out my pool, but also to replace my broken down fence. Now, I'm talking to them about yet another project. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with their work and what a pleasure it was to work with Pierre and Anena.

"After years of getting ripped off by general labor people who pack on the days working, I finally found a company that doesn't rip me off. I have three acres in Ramona and it was all overgrown on the top acres - I actually don't think it was ever cleared. Well, I went through about 12 crews in the last 6 years, each more expensive than the last. I came across a husband and wife owned company (Express Demolition & Hauling) and they came out and told me they could clear the property by the truckload and they had one of those huge trucks with an attachment that presses everything down (I'd been ripped off by crews that fill the 40 yard disposal units half full and don't bother stomping them down). They charged me about $550 a huge truckload and had entire areas cleaned out in a day that took others weeks to clear! I guess rate vary by job (what they're clearing and the terrain). Anyhow, will all the wildfire stuff (and hoping more people in San Diego will clear their property), I'm posting this. They're good people. They also cleared part of my property and put in a road, I ordered the gravel. If you want to see pictures, email me and I can get you some over the next couple of days (I need to take them first). www.ExpressJunkRemoval.com you will see the size truck I'm talking about.""

"Express Demolition & Hauling did a good job of removing the fiber glass pool and jacuzzi from my back yard. The work was done in two days. Pierre was there to supervise the work. When I requested more dirt to raise the ground level Pierre went and got another truck load. They did a good job of fill and compaction. Thanks Express Demolition & Hauling!"

"Pricing clearly defined, great service and follow through, wish I knew about them 6 months ago. Doing business with the folks at Express Demolition & Hauling was an absolute pleasure. They have a web site with all pricing clearly displayed, they answered the phone (surprising in this business) when I called, made an appointment for the same day and completed the work just like I had asked them to, I should have done this 6 months ago."

"Anena from Express Demolition & Hauling totally bent backwards for our swimming pool demolition. She even provided services that they don't offer (getting permits and deeds and many many other extras) to accommodate our situation. They're friendly, fast, and very competent. They made me feel like their most important client. Pierre and Anena are very generous, easy to work with and even give a good price without any fudging. I absolutely recommend this company."

Just yesterday Express Demolition and Hauling performed my inground pool removal. My pool was 20,000 gallons and had been left in major disrepair from the previously foreclosed tenants. Anena was the first of three bids I received, and the cheapest. In hindsight I only needed one bid. They worked well within my budget and performed the task in excess of what was required. I took two days off of work to witness the demo and was am still stunned by the results. Not only did they demo the pool, they took down my pool shed, and graded my entire lawn! I HIGHLY recommend them! They were courteous, prompt, and overall a pleasure to work with.

In our first major demolition task to remove the pool, we made the right choice in choosing Express Demolition & Hauling. Pierre and Anena provided excellent communication thru each step of the process. They are 100% committed to the job. Most important, they are 100% committed to their word. Their price can't be beat and they are honest, how great is that!!! I absolutely recommend this company.

"You are AWESOME Express Demolition! Express Demolition demolish my swimming pool with ease. They expanded my side and back yard, hauling away tons of dirt. After they finish, my backyard looks so nice and big, much bigger than I thought. They are so quick, clean and reasonable. I cannot believed my eyes witnessing four bobcats synchronizing in my back yard. I would highly recommended this company for your swimming pool demolition! They are good! Thank you!"

Anena is fabulous! She does a great job at managing her crews and is spot on with how much it's going to cost. Her estimate was thousands under what I'd paid (to other companies (4!) for not having the job done the right way the first time, and I am so please I referred them to my church who told me that it was the best job they'd ever had done!
