Erosion control is just as important as demolition and debris removal after a fire. With the Palisades Fire, we made sure the site was stabilized to prevent runoff, protect the foundation, and keep the surrounding community safe. Every step counts in rebuilding right. #Contractor…

A touching story from Jason, who was personally affected by the Palisades fire. Despite his own losses, he turned to helping his clients rebuild — and in doing so, found his own path to recovery. Sometimes the work we do is about more than demolition and construction; it’s about…

Precision and teamwork made all the difference on this one. Using a combo of our mini excavator, skid steer, and larger excavator, we carefully removed the fire-damaged debris while salvaging the existing foundation and stem walls. Huge success out here in the Pacific Palisades —…

Walking through a play-by-play of this fire demolition cleanup. One of the last sites needing demo, and now we’re shifting gears into grading and excavation. Excited to see these rebuilds moving forward.” #Contractor #Demolition #Grading #Excavation #GeneralEngineering…

Nothing beats teaming up with great people who do exceptional work. Huge props to Jason and the crew at JJP Construction — top-notch builders and an all-around outstanding team. Looking forward to many more projects together! #Contractor #Demolition #GeneralContractor…

Next month we’ll be sitting for our Class A General Engineering exam, and once complete, we’ll be adding it to our existing repertoire of C-12 (Earthwork & Paving), C-21 (Demolition), and Hazardous Substance Removal licenses. This step will open the door for us to expand into…

I’ve had several older contractors tell me: “You don’t ever want to be too busy to stop by your site.” I agree 100%. You’ve got to make sure the work is being performed safely, efficiently, and exactly the way you want it. The client should feel taken care of, the site should…

Bigger jobs call for bigger tools. 💪 Running a sheepsfoot ride-on compactor ensures soils are packed tight—95%+ density. When the Geologist sees a machine like this on-site, they know the grading contractor means business. No shortcuts, just solid pads built right. #Contractor…

Having a skilled demolition team on your side can save big. 💡 With selective demolition, we can often preserve the foundation or footings—cutting costs, speeding up the rebuild, and getting families back into their homes much faster. On this one, we’re teaming up with…

Learning growing expanding working my ass off. Now that's a formula for success. #Contracter #Demolition #Excavation #Construction #GeneralContractor #Mindset

2-day over-excavation and re-compact this week in Pacific Palisades. For perspective, that's the equivalent of 75 dump trucks worth of dirt— excavated, bottom compacted 5 ft down and tested by the Geologist, then rebuilt in 8-inch lifts to 95%+ compaction. These guys were flying.…

Big shoutout to Carmine for the excellent review! 🙌 We’re grateful to be working with you and your team. Carmine is a solid GC—always going above and beyond for his clients, truly conscientious, and 100% dedicated to his craft. #GeneralContractor #PacificPalisades…

Exciting news! Just heard back from the Contractor State License Board-my application for a General Engineering License has been accepted, and I'm officially cleared to schedule the exam! This wouldn't have been possible without the guidance of my friend and mentor, Jim Cortinez.…

Over excavation and re-compact underway in the Pacific Palisades T & First, we drop the site down 5 feet, compact it to 90%, and get it certified by both the Geologist and the City of LA inspector. From there, we bring it back up in 1-foot lifts, compacting each layer to 90%…
