Specializing in large-volume excavation work. My 30-ton excavator and 2 cu yd bucket can move a lot of dirt quickly.\n\nEquipped with a laser Levelling package to ensure precise grading.
"RESPONSIVENESS TO NEEDS There are different measures of success on any project and different constraints and issues that will challenge those measures. My primary measure of success was a DRY basement, and Brian?s proposal to deliver it was comprehensive. He was committed to meeting my request while satisfying my second measure of success: do it at an affordable price.
ESTIMATE Brian does all estimates himself instead of sending out salespeople (which I appreciate). I scheduled Brian's first visit in the days following a large rainfall that caused flooding in neighboring areas, so his schedule was packed. Understandably, Brian was crunched between appointments when he arrived slightly behind schedule, but he had kept me updated in the hours preceding his arrival. Brian quickly conveyed a focus on resolving the seepage problem. He also listened to my concerns, identified primary and secondary issues, and said he would send a thorough e-mail containing precise details for a solution with a cost breakdown. He arrived and left in about hour, and within a couple days he sent an e-mail estimate with two options. 1) A complete basement drain tile system with crack repairs, or 2) a partial system that he believed would resolve the problem at a lesser cost. He offered to allow me to "upgrade" to the full system in the future and pay the difference between the two estimates. This type of offer was not even discussed by the three other companies (two big names and one small business) that came for estimates.
With the exception of the extended (years-long) payment / financing options offered by the larger companies, Brian?s proposed solution was almost a hands-down winner. The other small company was comparable, but after sending the initial estimate, Brian offered to return on the weekend to give me the opportunity to talk again when there was more time. Other companies' approaches to doing exterior excavation ranged from doing minor reinforcement to not even wanting to touch it. Brian, in contrast, said he can?t honestly guarantee a dry basement when he didn?t know what the previous repair looked like. He offered to completely excavate the two walls that had work done previously and to replace (if necessary) any inferior quality materials with his own fix. Now we're cooking with gas! The cost of the job remained competitive, and this ?extra mile? effort on top of everything else fully satisfied my need to be 100% sure the seepage would be stopped. I opted for the full drain tile system.
TIME The timeframe Brian quoted was in line with all of his competitors: 2 days max. The time element of the job met some challenges, taking 5 full working days to complete, (Tues-Fri plus half days Sat-Sun). The reason? The crew found the floor was new, dense 4-inch concrete poured on top of the original 4-inch concrete floor. This meant twice the work for the breakup crew that was prepared for a conventional job, making it impossible to accommodate the original time frame. Brian promised to never leave a job unfinished, so he juggled his crews' schedules to make daily progress, and he never once raised his price despite the extra time or material (concrete) required. I was very grateful. He also personally came to finish the job on the weekend rather than pushing it out to Monday or Tuesday.
EXTRAS AND RESPONSIVENESS Some plumbing in the floor was impacted by the concrete breakup and required repairs due to its age and condition. Brian took the time to find the exact materials I requested for the repair and installed them. I was not present at installation so he took photos and video and sent them to me via smartphone so I could verify he got it right. What other contractor does that?! He also paid attention to every detail for laying out the design of the downspout tie-ins, finishing touches, and every single special request I threw at him. He also spotted an additional leak in the corner of the foundation and sealed it up as well. His commitment to resolving every issue to my satisfaction was outstanding.
Brian made himself accessible via phone, e-mail and text, and he responded quickly to inquiries. I wanted to know every detail of the work, and Brian accommodated. Another totally unexpected surprise came when Brian discovered that some of the promised work did not need to be performed, and he provided credit for this instead of using the difference for my extra requests.
SATISFACTION "You'll be happy," is Brian's mantra. He addressed a couple gripes - dust exposure to the first floor space; a few trampled plants outside - by providing equitable financial credits. These professional oversights on his crew's part are unacceptable to Brian, and credit on the final bill was all he could do to make up for it. Overall, the crew was polite, and one even brought a stack of extra floor tiles from his personal supply to replace some I'd lost during demolition work I had done weeks earlier!
From start to finish, despite delays and minor shortcomings, Brian executed on the proposed project by 100% nailing the two most important measures of success ? quality and cost. As for timing, the job ran long but Brian didn't quit until the job was done. I never expect perfection; nevertheless, Brian aimed to earn my satisfaction as his primary goal. I give an A+ on nearly every category, taking a point or two away for the issues mentioned.
Rain is coming in the next two days, and I'll only edit this review if the repairs fail to deliver a dry basement. I am posting this review before the rain comes as a vote of confidence that I won't have to change a word.
The most important criterion to assess a job well done is whether you'd recommend a service provider to a family member or friend. In Brian's case, I absolutely would."

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more.
What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.
Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.
Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.
The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.
Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
