Get matched with top excavation pros in Arlington, VA

"Adrian is extremely knowledgeable and patient as he took the time to assess various points in my yard to give me options on how to fix my flooding patio (as it was raining outside). On the day of the French drain and French drain extension installation, the crew was prompt and immediately started the job. I was pleased with their professionalism as well and they worked very hard to excavate the dirt and install the French drain components. Upon completion of the amazing work, I observed the workers reassembling my yard and also cleaned up my driveway of any loose rocks. Adrian also came by shortly after the crew left to check on the job and again, I truly appreciate the level of professionalism from this company."

"I had previously hired ET Contractors for tree removal work and now wasnted a paver patio installed. Julio Excobar came out and provided a very competitive price, and included a firepit in he plan. His team showed up as promised. The work was done beautifully, and the site cleaned up. Additionally, Julio's team used the stones from an old patio and installed a walkway to our deck. The project looks better than was hoped for. I will hire ET Contractors again for my my next need,"

"Two very pleasant gentlemen came and cleared a yard full of weeds. They also gave some advice to prevent further weed problems. I'll definitely hire Envirogrow again for gardening."

"The problems were strange and required some investigation. The team first focused on the washer drainage. Eventually they used a camera inserted into the clearance pipe to check the drainage pipe from the house to the septic tank. They discovered a "dip" in the pipe, possibly resulting in an obstruction that might have caused the water to back up, kind of like a rock in a stream. (Admittedly, I may not describe this as clearly as I should...not a plumber!). Using shovels and an excavator, they dug about 5 feet into the ground between the house and the septic tank, ultimately discovering both the dip/weakening in the pipe and a 3" crack (almost half of the pipe) closer to the house. I feel like their work saved us much more money down the road, because without investigating/fixing the "dip" in the pipe, we would never have know about that crack. Without repair, it could would likely have begun leaking back into the foundation. The team was able to replace a 10' section of pipe, connect it to the septic, and confirm a steady drain of water. We have not had the backup or any drainage issues since. However, the smell didn't completely leave the laundry room. They came out again and, after a couple of smoke tests and cuts into the drywall, discovered a vent pipe that had in years past (we've owned the house for 5 years) simply been cut to move the washing machine hookups to the side wall (rather than the back). Although the smoke largely discharged through the roof vents as designed, this uncapped vent allowed septic odors to creep back into the washing room, particularly in the morning when the air outside was heavier. They were able to cap the pipe, and that removed the odor. We have not had any issues since they completed their work. The team was very responsive, and worked with me to reschedule the washing room work after a death in one of the worker's family...only slipped a single day. They also reduced the cost for disconnecting/moving the washer and dryer, since they didn't reconnect them (We were of course going to have to do get drywall repair/paint work after they finished). Although I am hoping to avoid any plumber issues for a while, I know who I will call if something comes up. Absolutely recommend this team."

"We love the porch Sino-American built for us. Their attention to detail was terrific and the finish work is top-notch. It seems like every time I sit out there I notice one more detail that was done very well. They kept us informed of the progress throughout and took care to make sure that the final product would be what we had in mind. The crews were professional, took care on our property, and the left the construction site neat every night. We would hire them again."

"A&E looked at my site, and suggested no excavation was needed. I appreciate their honest assessment."

"Did a great job! Really friendly and professional. Called on Saturday afternoon. Showed up Sunday and completed the job. Explained everything before starting and did a great job with the repair and cleanup. Would 100% hire again for any plumbing needs. Thanks Jonathan!"

"We were having other work done, and we very impressed with the crew and the work they were doing that we contracted for this second job.
Everything went very well. They were very informative, and were very patient with our many questions. They helped us with a problem of the hole originally left for our dishwasher being too short.
(We'd had complaints from installers of new dishwashers that the space was almost too short to get the new ones in. The old counter top had already been shimmed in that one spot as much as it could be to allow for room. New flooring might have made the problem much worse.) 
They removed the old kitchen counter top, as well as a pass through board we were replacing. They removed the old sink and disposal we were replacing, and were careful to save our faucet that we were reusing. They shimmed the whole thing so that the new granite counter top (coming in the next day) would give extra room allowing for the height of the new porcelain floor and let the dishwasher sit level and with room to be moved in and out easily. They did a great job shimming, and were able to match the new stain to the color of the 16 year-old cabinets pretty closely. He asked our approval of the stain before doing the work.
We are really thrilled with the new tile. They asked me what pattern I wanted the tile laid in, and were able to show me the choices in the loose tile so I could decide. I chose a brick pattern and it came out beautiful. The tile was well laid, and looks wonderful.
The workers were on time, worked constantly, and did a wonderful job. They cleaned everything up, and were easy to work with. They also let us know of some problems they found while moving the vanity and toilet, and we were able to get them to add those small fixes to the contract. The front of the house looks wonderful, and we're very pleased."
