Titan Excavating is your local company you can trust. We have all the equipment necessary for any job you could ask for. No job too big or too small for us. We do everything from site clearing , driveways, grading , demolition and much more. We service a 100 mile radius and are open to working within the entire state. If you need us call today.

"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected. "

I take great pride in my 40 plus years of experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer�s needs. It is my mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of my customers, I take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. My reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"We actually had a complete remodel of the basement, including a bathroom. It involved a rebuild of the walls etc in the basement, Mr Sosbee was there everyday when he said he would be and worked the complete day to complete his tasks. Everything he did ( which was extensive ) was top notch work and not only did he do the work he agreed to do but was open to suggestions along the way and in fact redirected us a few times with better ideas on how we could best use the available space, which clearly resulted in a better finished product than we had thought possible. Jack is a true craftsman--so hard to find in the world today. We would ( and will ) use him again."

My experience includes furniture assembly, drywall repair, room painting, sink and toilet repairs, roof repairs, light fixture installation, picture hanging, and moving heavy things to where you need them. Not sure if I can do a job? Ask me! You will always catch me with a smile and be respectful of your property and preferences. I make sure jobs are done right and according to what you wanted done. A recent transplant to Iowa from the South, I’ll bring that famous hospitality so you will be comfortable having me work in your home.

"Zach did get the dishwasher uninstalled and plug in set up for the stove. There was an electrical problem that turned out to be beyond Zach's ability so the new dishwasher is requiring an electrician for the install to be completed. I did need to reschedule him as he missed the first appointment. He needs to work on communications. "

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

While handypeople do not need to be licensed in many places, you should only hire insured pros for any home improvement work. Your handyperson should have active liability coverage that protects them and you in the case of an error or accident. Furthermore, if they have employees on your property, they should also have workers’ compensation insurance. If you hire an individual or a company that is not insured and they damage your property, have an accident while on the job, or become injured on your property without insurance, you can be held financially liable.

It’s worth asking a handyperson a few questions before hiring to ensure they’re the right person for the job:

  • Are you licensed and insured?

  • Do you have any references?

  • Will you provide a written estimate and contract?

  • How much do you expect materials to cost?

  • How long do you expect the project to take?

  • Do you have any questions about the projects on my list?

  • Do you provide a guarantee for the job?

Tipping contractors is not expected or required. However, consider tipping your remodeling contractor if they exceed your expectations.

You can tackle hanging Christmas lights yourself with the right tools, accessories, and a trusted friend or neighbor. You’ll need to purchase a ladder ($100 to $300), clips ($10 to $20), hooks ($10 to $15), and lights ($25 to $100 per string).

Otherwise, you should hire a trusted holiday light installer near you. You’ll pay an average price of $200 to $650, but you’ll have peace of mind knowing that the job is done correctly and safely.

Many contractors prefer checks because they’re easy to track and have no associated fees. However, many also accept credit cards (though they might add a fee to cover their processing costs).
