Best Demolition Services in Phoenix AZ

I hired Franks to remove some rock from my front yard. I was very happy with them. They came in and did exactly what they said they would do.

The team follows through on their promises, provide wonderful quality, and consistently engage on any quality matter including going outside of warranty periods if they judge it's in their and their customers' interest. They really are tremendous - reviews to the contrary seem wholly misplaced and should be discarded. You can reach out to me directly - my wife posted the photos below (Morgan Q).

We wanted a simple but good looking block wall to be used as a compost pit and shovel rack. At a time when most contractors are too busy to be bothered with a small job, Dylan and his team came out relatively quickly for an estimate and gave a written proposal for a competitive price the next day. We were able to schedule the work shortly thereafter. Their mason Rafael is an artisan and worked very hard, quickly, and cleanly.

Joe Garza and his crew just finished a sidewalk and patio pour for us. He came out and gave us a bid and a lot of good advice in order to have an even better finished project. The forms were lazered to keep water draining away from our home. They also put plastic up to keep any splatter off of the walls. We will be recommending them to all of our friends. Really nice people to work with.    Randy & Michele Flink  Phoenix

Russ did a great job. He met me at the store. He loaded the couches on his truck. He delivered them to my house. He removed the old couches and took them to the dumps. He set up my couches (electrical).  He was fast efficient. He wore a mask for safety. He cleaned up the space. I highly recommend his work.

We asked Valleywide to come out and give a quote for quite a bit of demo work in our back and front yards that included haul away, concrete demo, block demo. Initially, Ben was so friendly and promised quite of bit on behalf of his company. His initial consultation with us even gave hope that he could eventually help us do some extensive remodel to the back door/patio of our house and the back wall of our master bedroom. When it came time to estimate the project, Valleywide advised they were equipped to do not only our demo and haul away, but also construct a new block wall, lay a new cement slab and install new gates for us. We were so excited to have found an all-in-one company, so we scheduled our project as soon as they were free.

Once the project started, it was downhill from there. They first advised they'd be a day late, then days late, then over a week late. Once they began, the demo went okay aside from a cracked drip line that we repaired ourselves. The pivot from demo to construction was atrocious. We were told a mason was scheduled to come out to construct our block wall. They didn't show for a week. After some serious questioning from our neighbors and HOA, we pressured Valleywide to get back out ASAP, and they ultimately did show up the following Monday but without a mason. Ben and his partner, who didn't appear to be masons, spent the better part of three days trying to figure out how to properly align our wall. They laid slab over the footings and ultimately created an uneven base for their project. We don't love the end result, but the wall was finally finished after the mason arrived on Thursday that week. In short, it as a sloppy finish that we'll have to sand down before we paint.

Lastly, the real kicker for me is in the details. From the beginning of this project, our biggest concern was installing new gates that properly fit the fence openings, opened and closed with ease (unlike our last RV gate) and did not offer any openings big enough for our small dogs to fit through. Late Friday afternoon, the final day of the project, one guy was left on the job installing the gates. They were installed with a substantial opening at the bottom that our dogs could easily crawl under. The gentleman was nice enough to adjust the height at the end of his shift. When I opened and closed the RV gate, i realized they overlapped slightly and will not close without some force. Worse off, you have to throw your shoulder into the gate to get it to open. And as if that's not frustrating enough, they used the smallest screws to attach the composite slats to the frame that do not go all the way through the slat. In less than 2 weeks, most of those screws popped right off and are completely incapable of holding the fence slats together. When I asked Ben about the construction and size of the frame, his answer was that's as good as we can get it. We'll be in the market soon for a properly fitted gate to replace the complete waste of money this gate ended up being.

If it isn't clear by now. I would not recommend allowing this company to take your money and contract out some truly terrible work. Their demo quality (the namesake of their company) was fine. Do yourself a favor and put in the extra leg work to have other professional companies do the rest of the job.

Jake graded a big dirt hill in our backyard, removing most of the dirt and hauling it away while leaving the rocks on top for us. He did a great job! He's friendly and reliable, and he did the work at a fair price. I'd highly recommend calling him when needed.

Unfortunately we had an awful experience with these guys August of 2018 and I definitely would not recommend them. It began very well with them seeming to understand everything we needed but the delivery was sloppy and thrown together. We had to deal with them for 4 months for a small project, and things just went from bad to worse.

The end result was an awful sloppy job on our small bathroom that we still have to deal with on a daily basis. The initial work had to be redone and the second time around was still badly done. Our shower still pools and does not drain properly. Some of the work was left unfinished because it took them 4 months (I was originally quoted 2 weeks). I desperately wanted them out to my home at this point. Yes, I was angry and extremely frustrated with them (and I'm not the type of person to complain much). This brief review doesn't begin to cover the nightmare experience we went though in dealing with this contractor.

I'll leave it at that, listing all of our issues would result in several pages of text. Although it is several months later, I wanted to do my duty and leave a review as a warning to others.

Edit:
I'm adding my response to the reply. I'm not sure why they think I'm enrolled in college, underemployed, or not a home owner?
Anyway, all I wanted is to leave a review of my experience with this contractor. My experience with them did turn into a nightmare, and yes, I remain frustrated and unhappy with the results.

I'm not saying that Vetsbuilt has NEVER done any great work, they have excellent reviews from other yelpers, so I know they have many other happy customers. All I'm saying is that our specific project was a catastrophic failure. Numerous things went wrong and Vetsbuilt was not to blame for ALL of it. Vetsbuilt did try to appease in the beginning, but as the problems progressed, the seemed to give up and not care about our project. Their major mistake was bringing in an onside unlicensed contractor to do the work. This contractor messed up everything he touched. Vetsbuilt did try to salvage our project by having some other folks they trusted to redo the work. Some of their team did deliver on a professional level (Thank you Ben!), and others did not. The folks that didn't quite deliver were rushed and seemed overworked and spread a bit thin. They were also unresponsive and did not show up at the agreed time. When work was completed, it wasn't inspected as will as the first inspection IMO. There was a brief apology on the last day that I wish had come sooner. It honestly would have made things better. I tried to communicate as best as I could, however I couldn't take any more time away from work and just wanted to get through the project. I won't continue to list additional issues we had, since I don't think it will help alleviate anything.

A final open note to this business:
Please don't take this review to heart or as a personal attack! I'm not saying you are bad people! As a matter of fact, you were personable in the beginning and very responsive. The outside contractor you brought in was the one that made the mistakes. You tried to fix it. Toward the end things went from bad to worse because trust was lost on all sides. Everyone (including myself) were getting burned out. If you need to express your frustrations that is okay. You are entitled to it, and Yelp provides a platform for both business and client to do so. I had to give myself some time before writing this review because I was so furious, stressed, and heartbroken when everything was unfolding. I didn't want to leave a nasty rant, rather, I wanted to provide feedback in hopes of offering some constructive criticism. We all have room to improve; I once broke out in tears in the middle of the project from all of the stress (which was probably frustrating to deal with) and next time I'll make sure to gather myself and calm my emotions before discussing the issues. For this, I do apologize. I am glad however, we never had a yelling match, or let temper get the best of us, or exchanged any snarky remarks in person. Someone did raise their voice a couple times but it wasn't directed at me, it was due to frustrations from the nature of this project. We remained relatively professional throughout the whole ordeal I definitely wanted to reach out and say thank you for your professionalism on that aspect. I don't want to continue a back and forth dialogue with an online argument, so I'll just sign off with a last note and wish you luck on your endeavors too.

Jesus from JYK Construction did the job of removing loose, water damaged stucco from the street side of my garden wall, redid the stucco and repainted.
He was easy to communicate with in English, came promptly to view the job and gave me the estimate within a day. He was easier to work with than other, bigger companies.
Their estimate was reasonable and they offered a warranty so I gave them the job. They came exactly when stated, Jesus and his helper worked hard and did a good job.
I can recommend them. They are a very small company but they do competent work.

Oliver took my call right a way and was able to schedule us in the next morning. He even showed up 10
Minutes early! Oliver and his guys did a quick efficient job in demolishing the remaining of our kitchen. Thank you now I can get closer to my dream kitchen getting done. Give RC a call, you won't regret it! Gracias Oliver!

Jim is responsive and takes pride in his work. I hired Blue Horizon to fill, grade, and level my sloped mountainside backyard. He went above and beyond to make sure the job was done correctly. Jim is knowledgeable, honest, and hardworking. I feel better paying my hard earned money to a company like this. I would hire Blue Horizon again.

Easy going ... prices are by far the best found after calling around. If you need concrete removed  be sure to call Mike !
