At Selective Demolition, we work hard to please our customers. Read below what some of them have told us.
Dear Steve,
I would like to congratulate Selective Demolition on the recent successful completion of the demolition at the Hotel Washington project. It is my understanding this is one of the larger projects for Selective but your team performed like seasoned vets. This difficult task involved many large mechanical & electrical items including a 300HP water tube boiler which had to be dismanted for removal through small doorways in the basement levels and a roof top cooling tower. Selective Demolition provided knowledgable skilled labor to safely remove these items while also providing labor to remove all the gypblock with wire lath plaster partitions and ceilings throughout the other 11 floors (235 thousand sf.) of the 91 year old building without any impact to the buildings historical exterior.
Miguel Suarez provided the outstanding leadership for Selective's success directing labor and organizing removal of debris to perform the demolition of structural slabs, heavy MEP equipment and architectural demolition.
Miguel stayed on top of the project from start to finish and was a team player with all the other trades on the project. Even though this was not a LEED project, Miguel also directed the sorting of debris for recycling and maintained daily reports of all the debris from the demolition and manpower throughout the project demolition phase.
It has been a pleasure working with a company and staff that is committed to the completion and takes safety serious for your workers and others. I look forward to working with this team on future projects.
Sincerely
Ken Whetzel

Dear Tom,
I wanted to send a short note of thanks to you and to Miguel for a job well done at the Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton Project. As you know, this involved a full floor of demolition that had to be done on nights and weekends. It was not only done with a high level of quality and with a minimum amount of problems, but was even completed a day earlier than required. A well deserved pat on the back to you and to your crew.
Sincerely

Gentlemen:
I just want to take the time to say what a pleasure it was to work with your crew on the Blackboard project. This has to be one of the best demo jobs I have ever been associated with. The challenges encountered during this project were astonishing at times. The small freight elevators, the route to the dumpsters, the amount of steel in the ceiling and not to forget the wonderful vaults with wood filled steel panels just to name a few. Miguel always furnished sufficient work force whenever I called and met our schedule including the 3rd floor demo. Foreman Elmer Villatoro did a great job of supervising his crew and making sure safety procedures were followed at all times. He met every challenge thrown at him plus made sure the site and building were kept clean, which impressed the building management. Safety was never an issue here, which was amazing considering some of the hazards encountered with wood lined steel panels to remove. I do not know all the names of your workers but they all deserve a lot of credit for making this a very successful and safe demo project. Look forward to working with them in the future. Thanks for a great job.
Sincerely

Dear Thomas,
Recently, we completed work on the Capitol Hill Club - Phase II in Washington, D.C. Before we all move on to our next project, I want to take a brief moment to commend your firm and all those involved on an outstanding effort at Capitol Hill Club - Phase II.
This project could not have been a success without your expertise and ability to meet all project milestones. Your firm's quality of work was excellent, and your commitment to the project schedule was unfailing. It was a great pleasure to work with an outstanding group of professionals - both in the field as well as the office.
On behalf of our superintendent Todd Leishear, I commend your firm on a job well done! I look forward to our next project together (and I hope it is soon!).
Sincerely,
Shane Demer, Project Manager

Dear Tom,
We would like to thank you and your staff for your outstanding performance and cooperation during the stabilization and reconstruction of the heavily fire and smoke damaged Lacey Administrative Center building. Thanks to your firm's efforts, we were able to reoccupy the partially destroyed building in just a few days. In a disaster of this nature, we truly understand the sometimes terrible working conditions and seemingly unrealistic time frames that we are all forced to deal with. Your personnel performed extremely professionally, selflessly and with the sense of urgency that the project required.
All of the feedback from the building occupants has been tremendous and a large part of our overall success is directly attributed to the performance of your company.
Again, thank you to you and your team!
Sincerely,
Kevin Sneed

The execution was flawless and the professionalism of your staff was everything that we have come to expect. I am pleased to add this to a long list of successful projects between Coakley Williams and Selective Demolition.
Thank you to you and your team for a job well done.
Kindest regards,

In a time when schedules are being shortened, it is one of the few reassuring thoughts to know I will have Selective doing the demolition phase of my project. The combination of efficiency and service is unsurpassed. In a trade that can often be mainly made up of laborers, Selective rises above the rest to bring skilled and knowledgeable men to the site. One of the most often overlooked phases of a project can also be one to set the tone with building tenants and engineers, Selective assures a smooth start up.
Thanks,
