Excavation & Foundation Contractor, Located in Yonkers, Servicing Westchester & 5 Borough's. Specializing in Excavation, SOE, Rock Removal, Trucking, Concrete Foundations.
"KNR took down a compromised tree on steep compromised slope, with no way to bring in big machinery, to save my house after a major washout. We are continuing to work together to stabilize the slope and keep the house from collapsing. After a major storm (Ida leftovers), the 8'-high retaining wall 20' behind my house became a 20'-high sheer sand slope a few feet from my house. I was desperate, and no other excavation contractors would even answer their phones. With KNR, communication was fast and clear, both by phone and over email. Keith came out to look the day after we called them; had an itemized proposal for me next morning; and came out to take down the tree that afternoon - we needed it gone before the forecast high winds arrived in the evening. Thanks to KNR, I still have a house - if the tree blew over, it could easily take a corner of the house with it. We are continuing to work with them on excavating work to stabilize the slope behind my house. Keith had better ideas for emergency slope repairs than some of the engineers I talked to, and gave me much better prices than others, both for the tree work completed and for the excavating work to come. When the tree job took much longer than expected, there was no mention of extra pay. Many other builders rush their work, but Keith takes the time to think through what he is doing, to make sure he is doing it right and doing it safely. I am deeply grateful to KNR for quickly and efficiently coming to my rescue in a major emergency."

"This review is long overdue! We had the pleasure of working with Robert on renovating our new house from top to bottom almost a year ago, and we are still thrilled with the results. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality has created a deep trust in Robert. He is top of our list and we have recommended him and his team to all our family and friends. We knew he would be a good fit from the initial consultation. Roberto managed everything with care and great attention to detail. Robert and his team executed our vision so well and everyone who has been over have showered us with compliments at how good everything looks. Throughout the renovation Roberto maintained excellent communication, keeping us updated at every stage. They were always punctual, courteous, and willing to answer any questions we had. His team was respectful of our home and ensured that the worksite was clean and organized at the end of each day. The quality of workmanship has proven to be outstanding and the custom work will last us for years to come. Another impressive aspect of working with Roberto and team was their ability to stay on schedule and within budget. They provided a clear timeline at the beginning of the project and adhered to it, completing the work on time without any unexpected costs. Even after the project was completed, Roberto continued to provide exceptional customer service and followed up to ensure we were satisfied with the work.

FAQs for excavation projects in New York, NY
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.
