5 years agoAs a response from the owner with regard to the previous review he would like to state the following to address the accusations made. Massarelli is a contractor specializing in demolition and earthwork services. Despite not being an equipment dealer, he did agree to sell the dumpster and instructed the buyer specifically to bring a roll off truck to transport the dumpster. The buyer showed up with a very small trailer not served to haul the dumpster purchased. When the owner noticed he did not have the appropriate equipment to haul the product he tried to talk him out of the sale since the hauling of the purchase would be illegal. The purchaser then demanded the owner provide equipment, that he claimed he could operate, to load the dumpster onto his undersized trailer. As it turns out the purchaser could not figure out how to start the equipment. One of the owners operators walked him through the process to start and run the equipment. The buyer completely ignored all our instructions provided at the time of purchase and the owner at this point just wanted him to load the dumpster and vacate his property immediately. The owner found this purchaser to be arrogant, ignorant, and not prepared to handle the transport of the purchase item. -

5 years agoThe owner of the company is a joke he sold us a pice of equipment sent him a check and was going to pick it up and he said he needed it so after waiting for about 2 weeks he was ready for us to pick it up we drive 5 hours to get there he tries to raise the price and cussed us out and when things start to get serious he leaves and tells his employe to sell it to us at the original price but he acted like a 3 year old child he was the most un professional person I have dealt with

How does Massarelli Excavating & Demolition handle debris cleanup and waste removal after demolition?
We remove all debris from the site, processing it on location with crushing machines to create a clean slate for new construction. Waste is disposed of properly per local regulations, leaving the property graded and ready. Homeowners can expect no leftover materials or mess post-job.
Why is hiring you safer and better than attempting demolition as a DIY project?
