"We called and booked this company for snow removal. Told me paying thru Angi made things ?more difficult because they pay to advertise and get hit with fees for doing work?. I was not thrilled with this comment but it was getting late in the afternoon with freezing weather and more snow possible. Between a rock and and hard ice ball for sure. Live and learn. He comes rolling up 25 minutes late in a large truck with a white bobcat type tractor on the trailer for 6 inches (max) of snow to be removed on a double car garage. (Two single unit doors). I told him specifically I had an appointment (cardiology follow up) at certain time. I usually never leave workers alone to do the work for the very reason of Wed hat happened. Not only was he late, He left over 10 blade marks on the driveway, which were unable to be removed with power washing this summer. On the north door he plowed through the garage door?s metal facing & into the wood frame of the house. It was ?repaired? (covered to not notice it just by a quick peek by the metal being turned back into placement) but the wood gouge wasn?t going away. The southern door was also bumped with the blade?s tooth but left only a small dent. Only when outside looking at the garage would someone notice the damage. It wasn?t there before and weirdly fit a bobcat tooth, I didn?t see the damage when I paid thru Venmo, He never said anything about damaging the facings of the garages or driveway.. Iit still hasn?t been repaired because it?s too small of a job (even with the garage pros). He showed up late , left our home damaged, and took $50 off the $200 charge (because it only took 15 minutes). Unbeknownst to us about the damage, which is going to cost way more than $50 to replace. I marked both facings at snow level and the damages were at those exact heights. Asked about the mark.. Didn?t exactly deny but never responded afterward to any texts. I watched him remove 3 buckets of snow on the lower driveway, very quickly and somewhat recklessly. I talked to him before I had to leave. I warned him not the get too close with the cat blade to the garage because the snow wasn?t close to the garage. Added to be careful and to slow down. He said I was just working my way up to the highest snow before the sun dropped begins the houses. Late afternoon winter appointment leaves early sunsets but he had plenty of time to do the work before it was even dusk. FYI, he mentioned his company wasn?t doing small landscaping anymore and focusing on major jobs now. Precise? Not exactly precise or honest. Would not hire the company again. Would rather have the heart attack that started when shoveling two shovels worth than to hire this company for anything again."

FAQs for excavation projects in Greensboro, NC
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
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 $25 per 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.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.
While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs.
In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
