Hornet understands the vision and does not need a lot of supervision. They are good at suggesting tasteful improvements and never price gauge. They finish the job in a timely manner and ensure the customer is happy. We have used them twice and don't trust anyone else to do it.
Wagner and his team are amazing! Since the first contact on Thumbtack till the end of the project, Hornet Demolition showed professionalism, punctuality and especially quality of the job. Everything was left clean and ready for the next step. Will definitely rehire in the future.
Hornet came and removed our large pool. They were quick, always in contact with us and finished when they said they would. Wagner and his crew were great to work with! I will definitely use Hornet in the future.
They hired the Hornet team to fill in a swimming pool at a rental house in Santa Rosa. They did an amazing job — most people don't realize such a project is a significant undertaking. They handled all the permits and inspections, and the work was top-notch. Highly recommend!
These guys are amazing! I had a patio concrete removed — they were fast and professional. Everything just went so smooth. Best of all, great pricing!
Wagner arrived on time, listened and gave good suggestions, walked me through the process, and followed up with a price quote. It was excellent service.
