Tips for Finding a Pool Demolition Contractor in Los Angeles

Thanks largely to Google and the growth of the internet we live in a world flooded with choice. We have fifteen different brands of orange juice to choose from and hundreds of sneaker brands to choose from. The same holds true for pool demolition contractors in Los Angeles. Depending the size of your metro area you can probably find five to ten pool demolition contractors in your area. So how do you find the right one? There are a few ways:

Ask for Estimates … Depending on how big your swimming pool demolition is you should get between 3 and 5 estimates. These estimates should be done in writing and in person. Be wary of pool demolition contractors that only offer phone estimates or charge for estimates. Treat the estimation process like a job interview for your pool demolition contractor. Get a feel whether you can and want to work with a particular pool demolition contractor.

Check Out Reviews … Thanks to review sites like Yelp and Angie’s List there are no secrets and very few withheld opinions. So compared your pool demolition contractor’s sales pitch against his Yelp track record. Also check with your local Better Business Bureau to see if your demolition contractor has had any recent complaints lodged against him and see how those complaints were resolved.

Check to See if Your Pool Demolition Contractor is Licensed … Most demolition and pool demolition contractors in most parts of the United States must have some sort of license to operate. Never use an unlicensed pool demolition contractor. When you are checking on your pool demolition contractor’s license also verify your pool demolition contractor’s insurance. Ask for the name of your pool demolition contractor’s insurance agent. Call the insurance agent and ask him or her to fax you a Proof of Insurance.

Check Your Pool Demolition Contractor’s References … Your pool demolition contractor should be able to supply two to three recent (six months old or less).

Check Your Pool Demolition Contractor’s Credit … Ask for credit references. A pool demolition contractor that doesn’t pay his employees or his subcontractors can leave you holding the bag for unpaid work.

If you follow some of this tips you can find a professional pool demolition contractor easily.

Hauling Services and Demolition Contractors in Los Angeles

Many demolition companies and demolition contractors in Los Angeles also have their own hauling service. Why do many demolition contractors choose to also operate their own hauling service? A couple reasons actually.

Many demolition contractors operate their own hauling service because they have the necessary equipment. A hauling service in Los Angeles often require large trucks and bobcats. Many demolition contractors have large trucks in their fleets and use bobcats for demolition work. So on weeks where demolition work is slow a demolition contractor can stay buys by doing junk removal or hauling services.

Quite often demolition work goes hand in hand with a hauling service. Hauling services in Los Angeles are used to quickly clean a demolition worksite. So instead of subcontracting to an outside hauling service it makes a lot more sense for a demolition company to have their own hauling service instead.

Warnings Signs of a Bad Demolition Contractor

If you are looking for a demolition contractor you need to be aware of some warning signs of a bad demolition contractor. Be aware of demolition contractors who:

– Don’t give estimates, or charge to give estimates. A sign of a bad demolition contractor is a demolition contractor that refuses to give an estimate, or charges a fee to give you an estimate. Another warning sign is a demolition contractor that only gives a “phone estimate” or an “internet estimate” using email pictures.

– Don’t have proper licenses. A lot of demolition contractors are not licensed in their state or city. Avoid demolition contractors that don’t have a proper license. Also be wary of demolition contractors that claim to have a license but refuse to give you the pertinent license information.

– Don’t have insurance. A demolition contractor that doesn’t have insurance isn’t a demolition contractor you want to do business with.

– Has bad credit. A demolition contractor that has poor credit or a lot of judgements against him for nonpayment can do a job and leave you holding the bag. If a bad demolition company doesn’t pay its subcontractor, they could leave you liable.

These are some of the things to look out for when looking for a demolition contractor.
