C STILLE EXCAVATION

Chris did an excellent job. I paid him hourly - he always was very efficient, always showed up when he said he would and did a great job. When you are paying tractor rates, you need someone reliable like Chris. He has all the equipment you need for a large excavation job. He brought all equipment on site and only charged for the single piece he was driving at any given time. Some guys I got bids from only had a single piece of equipment (IE - backhoe, excavator). Chris's hourly rates were competitive, but I believe I would have spent at least twice as much with the other contractors who bid my job since no one else had the full range of equipment Chris has. For example, I own an excavator. It's the best tool for digging trenches or loading a dump truck, but not for moving/pushing large volumes of dirt for cut/fill which was most of the work on our job. Chris on his bulldozer can move large amounts of dirt at least 5x faster than my excavator. If I had hired a contractor who only had an excavator or backhoe, it would have cost a lot more!
