Get matched with top excavation pros in Newington, 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."

"The front yard of my townhouse was a mess. I had mostly weeds and dirt and a burning bush and tree that was out of control. Juilo and his crew came in and within two days, removed the burning bush, trimmed the remaining bushes, trimmed back the tree and installed a beautiful retaining wall, with river stone and perennials, and added new sod. My front lawn is now beautiful, thanks to ET. General Contractor, Inc. I highly recommend them for your landscaping project!"

"We had some flooding in our basement this summer/fall due to problems with inadequate drainage in our backyard, including under our deck. Troy gave us an excellent analysis of how to address the problem in the most efficient way. They dug a French Drain system to capture the water from the hill in the backyard that slopes towards the house as well as tying in 2 house downspouts. All of the water is now channeled underground away from the house foundation, which exits from a pop-up drain into a swale. The excavated soil was installed and compacted under the deck and around the house foundation and sloped to prevent water from reaching the house. He also connected us with his deck sub-contractor to remove the deck boards (necessary for the work) and then replace them afterwards. All the work was scheduled and completed in timely and excellent fashion and Troy was great to work with. I would strongly recommend them for any type of landscaping work to address drainage issues."

"Jacob arrived promptly. We live in an older home and have a cast iron pipe that runs to the main drain area in the court. We had similar situation 12/2019. Industrial snake used and what was pulled out was heavy utility towels that we determined had been stupidly flushed down by contractors that had done work in the home. It was suggested at that time to send a camera down to be sure no other issue, but we thought we were okay after seeing the utility towles removed, water was running freely through the drain in the basement. Well, part II, we're here again 8/2020. This time clog closest to basement drain freed up quickly. Jacob suggested most efficient way is to perform a jet wash blowing any remaining debris further out from the house out of the pipe into the main drain area in the court and sending camera down to see what's up. We agreed. Camera pictures revealed scale throughout cast iron pipe with largest amount of buildup further away from the property just as pipe neared main drain area in the court. Descaling will be completed tomorrow. Could have been worse. Thankfully no tree roots or pipe fracture. The Pipe Doctor's jet wash price best compared to other plumbing companies neaby and overall cost is competitive. Although we have the descaling yet to be performed, I have no doubt based on previous performance and today's performance/outcome there will be no need for me to alter this evaluation. Quick response, competitive pricing, great customer service. I would highly recommend."

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

"Adam and mike did a great job helping with our project. We needed a room and bathroom in the basement finished for our mother in law who was going to be staying with us for a while. We had several contractors give estimates all for similar scopes of work. Picture Perfect had a better price than two of the contractors and the other guy who was lower didn't seem to understand our needs. From selecting paint to tile, fixtures and new carpet, Adam and mike made the process easy and made my wife and I feel very comfortable. We waited about two weeks before the project started, I felt like we were given a very realistic timeframe for how long the project would take. The crews showed up on time and were polite and worked fast and efficient. As a whole the project was amazing. The crews work was very clean and neat. We were impressed mostly with the painters and tile installers. The quality of the craftsmanship was impressive. The last day we had carpet installed in the smaller bedroom, they had a great selection of products in stock ranging in quality and color. The carpet crew was in and out in a few hours and cleaned up nicely."

"I am extremely pleased with the kitchen and bath renovation done for me by Suncrest Builders.   Their estimate was fair, honest and reasonable.  Not only was their work superior, but also they started the renovation on time and finished it with no interruptions or delays other than the agreed upon and customary weekends off.  John Cantrall, or his representative, personally checked the project's progress at the beginning and end of each sub task  such as electrical, tiling, plumbing, and painting to assure that  each sub task completed was properly performed and to assure that the following task was properly sequenced and understood.   This  renovation went very smoothly because it was performed by professionals  very skilled and knowledgable in their trade who, when faced with an unexpected problem, simply solved the problem and moved on.

"I was in the middle of a kitchen remodel and existing gas lines were going to cause a problem with the new cabinetry.  I needed a plumber to come out as soon as possible so as not to hold the contractor up.  I called Jiffy Plumber first thing Monday, March 16. They told me someone could be to my house that same day.  I got a call when the plumber was 30 minutes out and by the time I left work and got home, Thomas was there.
My contractor and I explained the situation.  Thomas surveyed the situation and my contractor said unfortunately the cabinet layout I wanted would not work because of the gas line placement.  Needless to say, I was disappointed.  I think Thomas heard the disappointment in my voice and continued to think about ways the gas lines could be modified to allow for the cabinet layout I so desperately wanted.  Eureka!  Thomas came up with a solution that not only would allow the contractor to install the cabinetry as diagrammed but also that would not require cutting the cabinetry to fit.  I almost could have hugged Thomas.  I feel he went over and beyond in resolving the issue.  He told the contractor what he needed him to do to make the gas lines accessible and made the appointment to come back once the contractor had opened up the floor to expose the run of the gas line in the bathroom below.
Thomas returned to do the work on March 20, calling that morning to say he was on his way.  He arrived on time and performed the job within a reasonable amount of time and with interruption to my schedule.  He was very friendly and knowledgeable and even went as far to explain what he was doing.  He also recommended some other work I might want to consider doing in the future. And, I didn't feel like this was a sales pitch.  I appreciated the suggestion.
Would I call Jiffy Plumbing again? Yes.  Would I request Thomas?  Most definitely."

"I have to admit, this went way better than I thought. Austin and Brian H did a great job. We had our attic (and outside) HVAC unit replaced. They found a few things that needed completed/replaced/fixed to make the system optimal. I thought they might "hit me for a bunch of extras" at the end, but they did not. The replacement took longer than expected but that is because they stayed to complete all the extras to optimize the system. In a few months, we will have them take a look at our basement unit. Thanks again."
