"03/06/2025 I hired Joseph Garies to do: 1. Bathroom remodeling; 2. Veneer stone tile installation at my BBQ area. Joseph Garies, North East Development LLC, RI License #GC-17083 CRLB Complaint C-25-78 Friday (03/28/2025) Joseph Garies asked me to pay (in full) him for these two contracts works. He promised that he will complete everything next day Saturday (03/29/2025) and Monday (03/31/2025). Friday Joseph Garies received the payment he requested and left. Joseph Gari didn’t show up Saturday. He didn’t show up Monday. Monday afternoon (03/31/2025) I got a text message from him, that he doesn’t want to do anything. It is not first Joe Garies takes customers money and run away. Actually, it’s a criminal act. ANGY Gail C. 06/2024 I hired Joe Garies…... I paid him in full. However, he did not finish the project. He gave me excuse after excuse, saying he would finish the project and be there on a particular day, but then that day would come, and Joe would send a text giving me a new excuse that he could not make it…... He said he would fix it when he returned to finish the job. That never happened…… Joseph Garies left the contract work unfinished with many defects. On May 7 Joe Garies agreed to compete the contract but so far it is not done. Joe Garries installed the water valves backwards (upside down). So, the valves operate wrongly. As a result: instead of a hot water we have a cold water and verse vise. I’m afraid to use it. Joe Garies installed veneer stone completely unprofessional: a) at the corners veneers should cut tight (no gap), cut at 45 degrees (similar wood boards); b) the top should be made of a flat flagstone. During the sidewall disassembly you removed Black Timber LOK Screws, about 78 pcs. Since you left the work, these screws are missing. Joe Garies destroys customers properties where he worked. ANGY Brian D. hired Joe Garies. 04/2025 WORST experience ever! If i could rate with negative stars, …..The "company" arrived at least 3 hours late every day to begin work. Owner was asking for money every day. The company left the broken pipe and sheetrock onsite and still haven't picked it up. They destroyed my lawn, cracked my entire concrete driveway that now needs replacement. They also punctured a gutter and garage trim (they did fix gutter and some trim). I now have to also regrade lawn, and fix trim. I do have to add they pulled one shrub as part of the job. They did pull out 3 other shrubs for me, which Joe offered for the work. He continuously told me he did the shrubs as a favor, and should be viewed as "helping me out" and should help to overlook some of the other issues/damage that occurred. This "company" shouldn't be allowed to be in business! Working on the Stone Installation project Joe Garies severely damaged / ruined the stamping concrete patio. To clean it costs $840.00 I sent to Joe Garies a number of emails, asking him to finish the contract. He promised each day to be here, but he never showed up."

FAQs for excavation projects in Westerly, RI

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.
