Marin-based Family Owned Green Business Receives Statewide Recognition for Unique Jobs
SAN RAFAEL, CA, April 26, 2012 — Hurricane Hauling & Demolition, Inc., a Marin-based demolition, deconstruction, and hauling company, today announced that it has been featured on CBS San Francisco Channel 5’s “Eye On The Bay,” airing on Friday, April 27th at 7pm. “Eye on the Bay” is an Emmy Award winning magazine-style show featuring San Francisco Bay Area’s things to do, places to go, and sights to see.
CBS’s KPIX Producer Chris Bollini interviewed Hurricane Hauling owners Paul Sonnabend and David Sherman during live demolition projects in Marin County and Sonoma County then later at Hurricane Hauling’s headquarters in San Rafael. The sequence highlights the unique deconstructing, salvaging, and recycling processes of this certified Bay Area Green Business. “We definitely have a unique and cool job!” says Sonnabend. “We are different in that we aim to recycle and re-purpose more than 75% of the debris collected during demolition, deconstruction, hauling, tree and yard projects in order to keep waste out of landfills. It’s important that people realize that although deconstruction is more labor intensive than straight demolition, deconstruction is ultimately more ecologically friendly and can be more cost effective.”
The cost of deconstruction is typically higher than that of demolition, as it is a longer and more labor-intensive process, but that cost is offset and sometimes surpassed with the tax deductions in the end. A customer can hire an appraiser prior to a deconstruction job to assign a value for reusable building materials. If that value is less than $5,000, no appraisal is needed. If the materials are valued more than $5,000, then an appraisal fee will be charged. Typical fees range between $500 and $5,000 depending on the size and complexity of the appraisal assignment. All donated salvaged materials from Hurricane Hauling are given to local, approved 501(c)(3) salvage yards and organizations.
The April 27th episode also features other Bay Area companies with “cool jobs” which include paranormal investigators and storage auctioneers. After April 27th, the episode will also be available on Eye On The Bay’s website. Click here to watch the episode.
