Mark contacted me quickly after I contacted Angie's list and provided a clear, concise estimate within a day or two. Mark dropped off a sample of the new stone at my request. He and Alan completed the job within the two day estimate. It was a professional job and we are very pleased with the results. The price was reasonable to us, especially compared to other estimates received.

Mark was a very reputable businessman and he and his son did a great job. The area they delivered and spread stone looks really good and it is very level overall. I would definitely hire them to do another job for us.

Mark & Alan came out & were a few minutes early to meet and evaluate the job; emailed the estimate, and were back within the week to complete the work. Very professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with, will definitely hire again.

They were our second call out within days, the tank guy couldn't locate cap. they sent a second crew out and they located the tank without a problem and dug it out without incident. Even under a massive tree. They helped more then the other place we tried using and all within a day.

He's very good.

He was fabulous.

He was able to work very well to coordinate his work with the other people who he had to work with, so he coordinate with the other sub contractors and we didn't have to do much coordination he did that himself, he's very good.

Mark Hendrickson returned my call promptly, and came to my house that afternoon to look over the site and to give me an estimate and a time frame. On the day of the job, he arrived right on time and had made arrangements with another company to have my septic pumped out, prior to the repair work. Even though this was a relatively small job, Mark and his son who works with him, were professional and polite through the whole process. The cost was $300 for the actual repair and digging and $300 to have the septic pumped out. I would not hesitate to use Mark Hendrickson Excavating again, they were great to work with!

Mark provided a detailed estimate and (unlike other contractors who provided bids) really gave me a feeling like he takes very seriously the customer experience. The other bidders seemed to treat me like I was an experienced contractor who understands all the steps, components and potential variations we might encounter. Mark provided a more realistic picture and recognized I am the homeowner who ultimately needed guidance and assurance through this process (which is a major investment, and can be downright intimidating and scary). My property was challenged by the presence of trees and subsurface rock, including bedrock. When he encountered heavy bedrock Mark was very proactive in addressing this issue by obtaining my permission and disclosing potential cost implications of bringing in extra heavy duty equipment to address the bedrock problem He effectively worked through it and was able to finish the job despite this challenge. Mark (and his son/partner Alan) were outstanding partners and made the overall experience most rewarding. I would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Hendrickson Excavating to friends and neighbor's. Great job, Mark!!! Thank you!!!

Mark promptly returned phone calls, arrived quickly to give an estimate, communicated clearly before and during the job, was very knowledgeable and experienced, kept to  and exceeded the agreed upon schedule, worked beautifully with a big backhoe in tight quarters without doing any damage, coordinated well with the other contractors and inspectors, took his time, was calm and pleasant and left our property in good condition. His son Allan was also excellent and knowledgeable. They are a good team. We were blessed with great weather for the three days of our job and absolutely everything worked in our favor, but I think Mark and Allan would also do well when conditions were not so favorable due to their calm nature and wealth of experience.

I requested the provider to give us his professional opinion on a failing septic system. He was very informative and gave us his opinion on how to go about solving our problem. Was able to provide us with the name of an engineer and told us that he would love to bid on the job if it became available. No hard sell just honesty and appreciated the fact that we valued his professional opinion. A++

We were very pleased with the Hendricksons.  They did a thorough job measuring and preparing for this job and met with the mason to coordinate the concrete work that will need to be done.  They were always courteous and professional and even introduced themselves to the neighbor to explain what the job entailed.  We recommend Hendrickson Excavating!

Work done on schedule. Required several township permit reviews, no issues. Work done by owner and his son. They own their own equipment and are very knowledgeable.

The response to our original phone call was very quick and an explanation of the work to be done was very thorough on the first visit.  We felt very comfortable with the experience and although we had other quotes that were a little less  we felt based on the Angie’s List rating we would go with Hendrickson Excavating.   The work was scheduled very quickly and when the work was complete you would not have known a basement crack had been repaired.  Mark cleaned up the whole area making it look as if he had not been there.  When the bill arrived we were given a further discount as the extent of the work required was a little less than quoted, which we felt was excellent, because being inexperienced as we are we,  would not have known it took less to complete the job, very professional.   We fully support Hendrickson’s high rating on Angie’s List.

He's a great guy. He does exactly what he promises at the price he gives, he has great attention to detail, and is very honorable. I've used him on about five different jobs now. I don't feel the need to follow him around while he's working, he's very trustworthy.

We have lived in Kingwood Township, Hunterdon County, NJ, for many years.  In fact, Mark was the excavator that dug the foundation for our home, 14 years ago.  Mark has done many projects for us over the years.  We would not think of using another excavator.  This year Mark installed a 6 box Peat Fiber Biofilter septic system in an 82' x 25' area of our rear yard. Much of the ground in Kingwood Township is shale and clay. Septic leach fields do not drain well.  Mark installed a new septic tank and a 2000 gal. septic dosing tank  that pumps septic liquid 500 FEET through 3" delivery pipe to the peat boxes in the rear of our yard.  This is relatively new technology.  Mark was very careful to assure everything was done correctly,  AND, unlike other contractors, Mark communicates closely with you. In order to bring the heavy equipment to the rear of our property, Mark created an access road made of crushed shale that leads to the large septic bed.
The price above includes:  
6 ANUA Peat Fiber Boxes
2000 Gal Dosing Tank w/1.5 hp Goulds Effluent Pup
500' of 3" Pipe
Several Iron Tank Lids
Wiring to Home Circuit Breaker Box
Septic Sand & Stone & Fabric Cover
Crushed Shale Access Road
Extensive Excavation Work on the Disposal Bed, Septic Tanks and Pump, Access Road, Pipe Line
Interface with Township Inspectors and County Board of Health Officials
York Raking, Seeding and Haying the Disturbed Area
One Year Maintenance Contract on the entire system

Mark is respected throughout the county, thorough, uses high quality materials, and does not stop until the job is COMPLETELY finished, to the point of assuring all final paperwork is provided to the various Township and County Offices. We cannot recommend Mark Hendrickson highly enough.  There was no risk involved in this large project.  We knew we could trust Mark, that the system would be installed perfectly, and with as little stress to us as possible.

From beginning to end, Mark was very responsive.  He was on hand exactly when he was needed, gave us precise written quotes, and managed the job with a minimum of disturbance. He handled his machines like it was second nature to him. We couldn't be happier.
