Job scheduled not long after very reasonable estimate approved. The patio was tricky given the level of pitch in our back yard. Patio ended up with too high a pitch from one side to the other. We requested the patio be lifted. Eric, the owner, and Chris, his foreman, worked with us to come with the best solution. Eric also worked with us so the job could be done at a price that work for both of us. Chris and his crew were excellent, hard-working, and very professional. We are extremely happy with our new patio. Recommend them highly.

I have had the pleasure of working with Eric and his team for over 15 years. He's done it all for me over the years, from excavation, hardscapes, landscaping, retaining walls, etc. No job has been too big or too small and he handed them all with the same level of attention and commitment to excellence. I recommend him highly........you will not be disappointed!

We did an addition and wanted to do a patio rather than a deck. We had Eric come over and discussed what we wanted. He made some great suggestions and we agreed on a design. He showed up prepared and did a great job. It has been a few years since he completed the work and we are still very happy with our patio. I would recommend Precision without hesitation.

After describing my planned shed location that would take up a big chunk of my yard, Eric quickly saw that there was a much better location -- in a wooded area just off the yard. Because it was covered with vegetation and small trees, and was abutted by a steep downward slope on one side, I had never even thought to put the shed there. Eric explained that he could level out that area using boulders, stones and gravel to create a completely stable and level area atop the slope, for less than the cost of the retaining wall in the yard. The result was better than I could have expected -- a completely level gravel pad that will accommodate a huge shed, with room to spare, that doesn't take up any of my yard. The work was done in a single day. It looked so good, I was very tempted to have Eric level out another section of the wooded area in a similar way -- I may do that yet.

Excellent. When we started we weren't really sure what we were looking for. Eric took us around to look at a few examples and we got started. Throughout the project the scope expanded dramatically. Even at that Eric & company bent over backwards to accommodate. The end result is a backyard that draws constant complements from all who enter.

Eric and his team did an extraordinary job. It was a multi-month substantial job to place pavers over a nearly 4,000sf pool area. Not only did Eric's team smartly and carefully manage the grades for efficient draining, but they offered dozens of creative ideas to further enhance the overall uniqueness and visual appeal of the final product. They installed an impressive circular pattern in one area, and a unique double soldier course in another. Further, about a year after the job was complete, Eric came back to correct one area that started to fail, due to no fault of the original work (some subgrade started to fail). Eric did this work at no cost as he wanted it to be perfect. I told Eric I was happy to serve as a reference, and was ok with him sharing pictures from our job as proof of the great work that Precision Excavation does.

Exceptionally well. Came recommended by a friend that had work done that I liked . I could not be happier. Very detail oriented and their work is impeccable. I can't imagine anyone being able to do a nicer job. They may not be the cheapest but surely are the best . You get what you pay for . If you want the best , hire them.

Eric and his team were wonderful to work with. I had TONS of questions and Eric responded immediately to all of them. We had a "beach" (a sand area with chairs and a fire pit) that our dog loved to lay in. We replaced it with pavers, Eric noticed that our dog was missing his sand so he even created a new sand area for the dog. The pavers, coping and tile work are perfect. They finished a couple of days past schedule, but considering they were working during our worst heat wave last summer, I actually would have expected more of a delay.

Over a week later Eric Richard responded with an email that began, "Sorry this took so long. I have been busy and also trying to get an accurate number on the shrubs..." Attached was a quote that was about 40% higher than I expected. The quote came on a Friday and on the following Monday I responded that, "We're not close on the estimate. I'd like to talk with you about the details." I added nine specific questions. The first of which started with, " I'd like to talk about,...the number of square feet of paving that will be done. You have 230 sq ft and I'm expecting closer to 155 to 160 sq ft." I also had a number of other comments such as asking for the size and cost of the individual plants that he was proposing to plant and a layout of the planting. I also asked why he was adding extra costs such as a disposal fee (for which he included a sales tax) when he also stated that "Owner is responsible for garbage. This will be put into bags". I closed my response to his quote by stating that, "I think much of the difference would come down once we agree on the area of the paving but this is what we need to discuss." I asked him to call me so we can meet or talk on the phone the following day. He didn't call that Monday, or Tuesday, or Wednesday. On Wednesday evening I called and when he didn't answer I left a message for him to call me. Two hours later, after he didn't call I sent him an email asking, "I am disappointed that you have been unresponsive. Are you interested in doing this work?" An hour later at 10 pm, I received an incoherent response from Eric Richard stating, "I am not interested. I am very appalled how someone questioned me in every aspect of my estimate. I am not interested in sitting down to discuss how I came up with what I did." He added that, "...please seek other estimates and don't waste my time." He also conceded that, "I did make an error in putting the disposal fee in the material column. I do make errors." Despite this, he concluded by stating that, "...please call some else because my price is what I gave you." and added that, "I hope I answered all your questions and wish you luck!!!!" The bottom line was that no, he didn't answer my first question. That question was why was he proposing a 230 sq ft walkway...which would have been a six foot wide walkway to my front door from my driveway. Yes, he does make errors. I can only conclude that when you want to hide what you've done, you have something to hide.
Description of Work
I asked for a quote to put in a stone walkway from my driveway to my front door steps. The work also included landscaping the area adjacent to the walkway with plants, shrubs, and ornamental's. The walkway was to be three to four feet wide expanding to six feet at the front steps. The length was thirty nine feet. I estimated the paved area to be 152 square feet. I gave him a picture from the pavement manufacturer of the walkway that I wanted with the 4X8 paving blocks showing the varying widths of three to four feet wide leading to the front door. Eric promised me a quote within a few days.
