"Morton Excavation was GREAT! I asked for 2 estimates, one with a small retaining wall, one without. After receiving the estimates, I contacted Morton and asked how soon could they get started? “Next week, and we should be done in a couple days.” They did have to put me off for one day, but they completed the job in 2 days, cleaned up the work area, and did an excellent job. Thanks!!"
"Nick was great to work with. He and his crew did a top notch job going above and beyond what we had needed to be done. I will not hesitate to hire White's Excavation again."
"Did a fine job - basement is dry. Overall an excellent experience. Had one issue with their electrician who didn’t read the plan and installed to the wrong box -"

"I have an old farm house. It is at Least 200 years old. It has a stone foundation. Every spring my cellar fills with water. I was given a quote in November on 2022. They installed the water proofing that December. They kept to quoted price with no surprises The crew kept to the schedule I was given. They were professional and left my cellar looking better than I have ever seen it With the soft winter and dry spring I was afraid that their work would not get a good test. However, last night We got four to five inches of rain. In the past this would at least left a foot of water in my cellar. Today it is bone dry. Basement Improvement is a local family run business that I would highly recommend to anyone."
"When I first called, I was surprised at how quickly they returned my phone call to set up an estimate. He was able to come over the next evening to check out our basement. He was punctual and provided us information about what would need to be done. He stated that he would provide us with an estimate that evening. I waited, but the estimate never came. I called the following week to see the status of the estimate. They stated that they were busy, but I should have it by now and would email it ASAP. After a second week, I called again. They said they would get it to me again. After the third week, I called again and was told the same thing. I gave up at that point and contacted someone else, who will be fixing the basement tomorrow. It's been over a month now and never received an estimate for the work. I understand that it's a busy time of year, but was disappointed to never get the estimate and didn't feel like I should have to pester them for it. "
"Rob did an excellent job repairing the crack in my foundation. He is very knowledgeable about the repair process and conscientious about his work. He was very friendly and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him if you have leaks in your foundation."
