What Clients Say

"Nick and his crew did a most amazing job cleaning up our lot after the Tubbs wildfire burned our beloved home to the ground. They left our land in a clean and suitable condition, ready for rebuilding. Nick and his crew were a very bright spot in an otherwise dark tragedy. We simply cannot thank them enough!"

Diane & JD

"I lost my home in the Tubbs fire in Santa Rosa in October 2017. I interviewed three different companies about cleaning up my site. Nick was my instant choice as he was confident, clear about the process and friendly. Nick and his crew was experienced and respectful of my property, albeit a burned mess. I would recommend having Nick Rinauro on your... recovery team."

Cynthia H

"We highly recommend Nick Rinauro and Wrecking Crew Demolition, Inc. for debris cleanup. Mr. Rinauro did the work he promised, and he did it well. His company handled all the debris removal, coordinated soils tests, and processed the paperwork with the County to obtain a clear cleaned ready for rebuild parcel. They did an excellent and timely job for us. We chose Wrecking Crew Demolition primarily because FEMA took all of our insurance policy limits for debris, which in our policy reduced the amount we would have in rebuilding proceeds. Wrecking Crew Demolition was respectful and polite, and they did everything they promised to do as they helped us through a very difficult and confusing time. We recommend them highly."

George R.

"I highly recommend the debris removal services of Wrecking Crew Demolition, Inc. My home burned down in the Tubbs Fire on October 9, 2017. I empathize with the similar tragedy the residents of Paradise are now experiencing. Not only was the price reasonable, but Wrecking Crew was very careful not to over-excavate, unlike the experiences other homeowners had with the Army Corp. It was this attention to the small details and the respect for the devastating experience we all were experiencing which set Wrecking Crew apart from the rest. I strongly recommend Wrecking Crew Demolition for excavation work on your property."

Adrienne

Thank you Nick and crew for the efficient and effective clean up of our home site after the Park fire. Keeping us posted during the permit process, staying in touch during the actual clean up and being available for questions was comforting during a stressful time.
