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. When it came to the work, Miguel and Jaime came in and did an amazing job. 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.

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.

Dig and Demo did a fantastic job removing our pool. Sean was amazing, very responsive, and kept me updated on the progress of the project from start to finish. To be honest, you would never even know that there was a major project at our house as they left our property spotless after finishing the job. The pool was filled in over the span of 5 days and is now ready for us to lay sod in our backyard. I would highly recommend Dig & Demo for a quick, yet extremely professional job.

***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

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

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 :)

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

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

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

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.
