Daily & Sons Excavation LLC

Went well , always worked safe and efficent . Enjoyed the experence .

Was originally quoted a rate of $60/ hr for labor, which was then raised to $75/hr because Mr. Daily "had purchased a bigger, faster machine that would get the job done faster". Didn't quite follow his logic, but wanted to get the job done before the rains started and he seemed like a nice, competent guy. We discussed what needed done in detail and I didn't think I needed to supervise - he was the pro, right?  Unfortunately, he did a horrible job - apparently doesn't know how to install a drain curtain, even with detailed instructions. First serious rain and the mud was back. It appears the ditch was not started at the far end of the barn where it should have been, the whole length of the ditch he did put in was not sloped properly nor dug wide enough and not topped with the right material (DG). It is only moderately better than before the work was done. Well, except the for section they missed. Very disappointed.
I was also  charged for an extra hour of labor because he had "brought his father along to help with the job". He had mentioned prior to the job that his dad often helped him on jobs, and they are called Daily and Sons, so don't understand his reasoning on that one either.
