We selected Bay Demo to demolition our in-ground swimming pool (20 x 40 feet) based on their good work doing the same for a neighbor. … They did a great job -- very meticulous in their use of tarps and padding. There was ZERO damage to our driveway and remaining deck.
The job went very smoothly; the workers really know what to do. … The price was very fair. I should add that Mateus was easy to work with!

Matt, the owner, came promptly to look at the work and was able to give me a quote on the spot. His quote was very competitive and I decided to award him the work there and then.
This was Friday - and by Monday Matt had managed to get the city permit and start the work! … The work was done very quickly - in about 5 days start to finish.

Why Bay Demo

A smooth demolition comes down to four things

Unpermitted work, damaged driveways, surprise change orders and crews that disappear before the final inspection. We built Bay Demo to remove every one of those risks.

  1. Without the right crew

    Unlicensed, unpermitted work

    Bay Area cities require a demolition permit and inspections. Skip them and you are left with work the city never approved.

    With Bay Demo

    Licensed, with permits in every project

    California license #1055298, bonded and insured. We prepare the permit, schedule utility disconnects and handle the city paperwork for you.

    "This was Friday - and by Monday Matt had managed to get the city permit and start the work!"

    Varun Varma, Google review
  2. Without the right crew

    A damaged driveway and yard

    Heavy equipment has to cross your driveway, gates and landscaping to reach the work.

    With Bay Demo

    Protected property

    Plywood and padding over driveways, and careful access through gates and fences.

    "There was ZERO damage to our driveway and remaining deck."

    Robert Torczyner, Google review
  3. Without the right crew

    Surprise change orders

    A low number at the start turns into extra charges once the work is underway.

    With Bay Demo

    A written, itemized quote

    You see exactly what is included before you sign. No hidden fees and no confusing change orders.

    "Crew was on time and on budget."

    Annette Fewins, Google review
  4. Without the right crew

    A crew that disappears before the final inspection

    The machines leave, the fill is not compacted and nobody is there when the inspector comes.

    With Bay Demo

    The owner on your project, to the end

    Mateus visits, quotes and follows the job personally. We backfill and compact in layers and stay until the city signs off.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does demolition or pool removal cost in the Bay Area?

It depends on the size of the structure, access for equipment, how much concrete there is and what the city requires. As a reference, most Bay Area pool removals land between about $8,000 and $25,000, and small structure demolitions often start around $5,000. We give you a free on-site assessment and a written, itemized quote before any work starts.
