Terms of Service

1. About BeckCo Inc

BeckCo Inc ("BeckCo," "we," "us," or "our") is a licensed demolition contractor operating in Pomona and the greater Inland Empire region of California. We hold California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) License #831936, class C-21 (Demolition).

These Terms of Service apply to all services we provide and to use of our website at beckco.com.

2. Licensed and Insured

BeckCo Inc maintains all required California state licenses, general liability insurance, and workers' compensation coverage. Copies of our license and current insurance certificates are available upon request before any project begins.

3. Scope of Services

BeckCo provides demolition and debris removal services including, but not limited to:

• Residential demolition (full and partial structure removal)
• Commercial demolition and structural teardown
• Interior and selective demolition (walls, flooring, ceilings, fixtures)
• Concrete and asphalt removal and breaking
• Pool demolition and backfill
• Debris hauling and site clearing

The exact scope of work will be defined in a written project proposal or agreement. Work outside the agreed scope is not included and will be quoted separately.

4. Estimates and Proposals

All estimates are based on a site assessment and information provided by the client at the time of the walkthrough. Estimates are valid for 30 days from the date issued.

Final project costs may be adjusted if:

• Hidden structural elements, underground utilities, or hazardous materials are discovered after work begins
• Site conditions differ materially from what was described or visible during the estimate walkthrough
• The project scope changes at the client's request

Any changes to scope or cost will be communicated and agreed upon in writing before proceeding.

5. Permits

Most demolition work in California requires one or more permits from local building departments. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the project agreement, BeckCo will identify the required permits and may handle permit applications on your behalf as part of the project. Permit fees are the responsibility of the client and are not included in demolition labor costs unless quoted together.

Work will not begin until all required permits are obtained. Delays caused by permit processing are not the responsibility of BeckCo.

6. Hazardous Materials

Older structures may contain hazardous materials including asbestos-containing materials (ACM), lead-based paint, or other regulated substances. Federal and California law requires that these materials be tested and properly abated by licensed specialists before demolition.

Important: BeckCo does not provide hazardous material abatement services. If hazardous materials are discovered or suspected, work will be paused until a licensed abatement contractor has cleared the site. The cost of testing and abatement is the responsibility of the property owner. BeckCo will resume work only after receiving written clearance documentation from the abatement contractor.

Clients are responsible for disclosing any known hazardous materials at the time of estimate.

7. Structural Assessment

For partial or selective demolition projects, clients are advised to have a licensed structural engineer assess the property before work begins, particularly when removing load-bearing walls, columns, or other structural elements. BeckCo does not provide structural engineering services. We will not perform work that, in our professional judgment, poses an immediate risk of uncontrolled structural failure without a written engineering assessment.

8. Site Preparation and Client Responsibilities

Before work begins, the client is responsible for:

• Disconnecting and capping all utilities (gas, electric, water, sewer) through the appropriate service providers
• Removing personal property, valuables, and any items not intended for demolition from the work area
• Notifying neighbors of planned demolition when required by local ordinance
• Providing clear vehicle and equipment access to the site
• Obtaining any required easements, HOA approvals, or neighbor consents

BeckCo is not responsible for damage to items left in the demolition zone or for utility damage caused by undisclosed or improperly disconnected services.

9. Payment Terms

Deposit

A deposit is required to secure your project start date. The deposit amount will be specified in your project agreement, typically 30–50% of the total project cost.

Progress Payments

For larger projects, progress payments may be due at specified milestones outlined in the project agreement.

Final Payment

The remaining balance is due upon project completion before BeckCo removes its equipment from the site.

Late Payments

Invoices not paid within 10 days of the due date may result in a work stoppage. Unpaid balances 30+ days past due are subject to a 1.5% monthly interest charge and may be referred to a collections process or lien process under California's Mechanics' Lien Law.

10. Changes and Additional Work

Any changes to the agreed scope of work must be documented in a written change order signed by both parties before additional work proceeds. Verbal agreements to change project scope are not binding. Change orders may affect the project timeline and total cost.

11. Site Safety

BeckCo maintains a safe work environment in compliance with Cal/OSHA regulations. Unauthorized persons, including property owners and their representatives, are not permitted in active demolition zones for their own safety. We will establish a clear perimeter around active work areas and request that you do not enter without prior coordination with our crew.

12. Debris and Hauling

Unless otherwise specified, BeckCo includes the removal and disposal of demolition debris as part of the project scope. Waste is disposed of at licensed facilities in compliance with California regulations. Items that may be recyclable or have salvage value may be retained by BeckCo unless the client requests otherwise in the project agreement.

13. Warranty

BeckCo warrants that demolition services will be performed in a workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards. Our warranty covers defects in workmanship for a period of one (1) year from project completion. This warranty does not cover damage caused by subsequent construction, third-party actions, natural events, or conditions not related to our work.

14. Limitation of Liability

BeckCo's total liability for any claim arising from our services is limited to the amount paid by the client for the specific work at issue. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost rental income, loss of use, or delays caused by permit agencies, utility companies, or weather.

15. Dispute Resolution

We aim to resolve any concerns quickly and professionally. If you have a complaint, contact us within 10 business days of the issue arising. If we cannot resolve the dispute directly, it will be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, conducted in San Bernardino County, California. You waive the right to a jury trial or participation in a class action for claims related to our services.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any legal action not subject to arbitration shall be brought in the courts of San Bernardino County, California.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect when posted to our website with an updated date. Continued engagement of our services constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
