Stories of Demolition Companies in Los Angeles
Header

Most demolition (outside explosive implosion) isn’t hard. After all, it is always easier to destroy something rather than building something. The main challenge of any demolition project is keeping a demolition worksite clean. This is true of swimming pool demolition too. 

So, whether you are doing your own swimming pool removal or hiring a demolition contractor do it, you will be faced with keeping your work area clean and debris free. For this task you have two options: rent a dumpster or hire a hauling service.

The advantages of dumpster rental is that dumpsters rental is usually cheaper than hiring a hauling service (because you’re not paying for the extra labor). But dumpster rental is often riddled with red tape. For instance, in cities like Los Angeles, dumpster rental is controlled by a few companies. If you rent a dumpster for another company you may face fines or the confiscation of your bin.

Hauling services provide the labor and the truck to haul your construction debris away with. Hauling services do their jobs fairly quickly. Most can clean up a demolition worksite in a couple hours. Hauling services also speed up the pace of your demolition. The only real downside to using a hauling service is cost. Hauling services cost more than dumpster rental, but provide more upsides than dumpster rental when you take into account labor and time expanded.

When it comes to demolition work, whether you are hiring a demolition contractor or doing it yourself, you have to think about and plan for clean up. Keeping your worksite clean and free of construction debris is essential for your safety and the safety of your works. When it comes to cleaning up a worksite you have one of two options: hire a hauling service or rent a dumpster.

Renting a dumpster in communities like Thousand Oaks can be quite the chore. Dumpster rental is heavily regulated in Thousand Oaks. Because Thousand Oaks is a “franchised community” only a single company is allowed to rent dumpsters. If you get a dumpster from another, “un-franchised” company you run the risk of having your dumpster impounded by the city. Also you cannot place a dumpster on the street in Thousand Oaks without a permit.

Hiring a hauling service that serves the Thousand Oaks area avoids a lot of red tape that accompanies dumpster rental. Also hiring a hauling service to clean as you demo saves you time. Your workers can focus on demolition and won’t have to stop to clean up. This can result in money saved as well since your paying your labor for less time over all.

Except for some very specific uses we always recommend hiring a hauling service in the Thousand Oaks area over renting a dumpster.

Hauling services in Los Angeles vary in cost, depending upon the individual company, their own pricing structure, and what exactly you need hauled away. Most hauling services in Los Angeles offer free estimates over the phone or via email. Some hauling services in Los Angeles will also do in person estimates.

How a hauling service in Los Angeles charges…. Most hauling services in Los Angeles charge either a flat rate per load, or by how full you fill a truck. In other words, you may charge a certain amount for filing a quarter of a truck, another amount for filling half a truck, and yet another amount for a full truck load. What pricing structure is right for you? It all depends on the size of your job.

If you only need a single item hauled away, like a refrigerator, ask your hauling service if they have a rate for hauling away single items or bulky items.

A lot of household junk is actually considered hazardous by landfills. Paints, household cleaners, automative fluids, even computers and televisions are considered hazardous. Most hauling services in Los Angeles can dispose of hazardous materials but will charge extra for the service.

Another thing to keep in mind when you are pricing hauling services in Los Angeles is that, in general, national chain hauling services are going to cost more than local junk hauling services. So when you are shopping for hauling services in Los Angeles you may want to shop local first.
