John and his team are excellent! We hired them to remove a brick fireplace and chimney in our new home in Portola Valley. I reached out on a Sunday and he responded right away. He brought his team to our house on Tuesday and had the job finished that same day - very impressive! They were reliable, prompt, efficient, and did a beautiful job! Would definitely work with him again, highly recommend for any demo needs.

John form Reno Tahoe Junk Removal, gave me a lot of great advice, he was very quick to make himself available to inspect the property. Then afterwards he offered may a fair amount of his time to advise what the best way forward with respect to completing the demolition, and taking the results of the demolition to the dump. He presented a good collection of options and knows the industry well. For the time being I will have to put the project on hold while I address other logistical issues, but I will for sure reach out to him as soon as it's feasible to start demolition.
Details: Outdoor • Partial demolition • Garage, shed or barn • Residential

Bay Area Demo & Hauling is a top notch business. John was courteous and helpful from the start. He gave me a fair price, worked with me on scheduling demo day, communicated well, showed up on time. He and his hard-working crew completed removing two 7x7 concrete slabs efficiently, being careful of existing tree roots and cleaned up like they had never been there. I wish that I had taken photos of the final; I wanted to get dirt and stepping stones in quick so pedestrians were not compromised. I would hire them in a flash. Thank you BADH!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Customers should know that our pricing is based on the specific scope of work, site conditions, access, disposal requirements, and safety compliance involved in each project. As a fully licensed and insured demolition contractor, our pricing reflects proper labor, equipment, hauling, recycling, and legal disposal at approved facilities. We do not cut corners or operate without insurance. Every estimate is transparent, clearly outlined, and tailored to ensure the job is completed safely, legally, and professionally from start to finish.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We consult with the client, verify scope and site conditions, provide a written proposal, schedule upon approval, confirm utilities, complete safe demolition and hauling, perform final cleanup, issue invoice, and follow up after completion.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Most of our training and education comes from hands-on, field-based experience combined with state-required licensing and safety certifications. We hold the appropriate California contractor licensing for demolition, which requires verified journey-level experience, passing state trade and law exams, and maintaining bonding and insurance.
In addition, our team is trained in OSHA job-site safety standards, proper equipment operation, structural demolition procedures, debris handling, and recycling compliance. We also stay current with California building regulations, local city requirements, and environmental guidelines to ensure every project is completed safely, legally, and professionally.
