If I was able to give them more stars I would! We recently hired Ken's Salvage to for a home demolition project we were managing ourselves. I had several other local companies bid on the job, Ken's Salvage provided competitive, easy to understand and transparent pricing and committed to the kind of flexibility we needed for our job. They were true to their word. Communication was outstanding, they were always easy to get a hold, nice to speak with and even made suggestions and recommendations along the way to make things easier or save cost on our project. It was such a pleasure working with
