"NextGen Paving and Excavation LLC did an amazing job repairing and sealing my asphalt driveway. Jacob is a hard worker and very particular with his work, and it shows in the finished project. I had him remove and replace a section of damaged asphalt and he sealed my entire driveway. I am very happy with his results."

"We chose Suncrest based on good reviews on Angie's List and a good feeling we had during our initial meetings with John. Their price, while not the lowest, seemed fair and transparent. Now that we are 1 month past completion, we are happy with the final product, but the experience of working with Suncrest was pretty unpleasant and we would never work with them again.
The project was supposed to take 4 months and it took 6 months. I understand that delays happen, but they were almost never communicated to us. The crew just wouldn't show up, often for a week at a time. John (owner) and Bryan (foreman) seemed to have no idea what was going on with the other person, and we had an extremely difficult time getting them to call us back. Bryan rarely communicated our change requests to his crew on the ground, so work would have to be redone, or was delayed further while we worked this out. Suncrest also had bad relationships with many of their sub-contractors. The work done by some of them was sub-par. For example - the new AC unit was poorly installed and flooded the living room floor. It was very hard to get the HVAC sub to fix this, since they wouldn't return John's calls for a week.
Bryan was supposed to be the foreman, but I felt like we had to nit pick every little details or Bryan would do things in an easy, slipshod manner. For example, they would miss areas of trim painting and then request payment for finished the trim portion of the work. Or they would say the kitchen cabinets were finished, when upon closer inspection by us, several of the doors wouldn't close properly. We felt like generally they had poor attention to detail. For example, all of the existing door hinges and door knobs in our house are gold, but without asking, they installed silver hinges in all of the doors, which doesn't match the gold knobs. Not a huge deal, but when you are paying over $100K, you expect that they will think about things like this.
The only positive part of working with them was the price. Overall we came in less than $10K over the estimate, all due to upgrades and additions to the project we request midway through the work. John was very fair about the prices of the change orders and didn't try to take advantage.
So overall we are happy with the final product, although it took a lot of "harassing" John and Bryan to make things right before we would pay them. But terrible communication means that we would never use them again, nor recommend them to any friends.

"After having some pretty bad rains in the Baltimore area and my tenants informing me that the basement was leaking i searched out a few different companies and found MJ Home Services they have incredible reviews everywhere. Melissa was great and so were the guys that did the work. They sent me pictures over throughout the entire process and everything was done through email which made it so much easier for me. So far so good there's no leaking and my tenants are extremely happy . I would definitely hire MJ Home Services again."

"They responded quickly and fixed the pipe. The work was fine but a little expensive. My only reservation was price, but it has been a while, so I don't feel I can answer other questions about the company with a lot of confidence."

"Mr. Wilburn's crew showed up on time Thursday to rake my leaves.  They had to reschedule when the weather turned unfavorable in the middle of their work.  The crew returned Friday as promised to finish the work.  Since I was at the office that, I could not hand them the check in person.  Mr. Wilburn let me mail it.  My contractor was in the house that day take care of a project and commented that the crew did an excellent job.  I inspected the results afterwards and agree.  Mr. Wilburn's company will be back next year to mow my lawn and take care of my other landscaping needs.

"Andrew and his crew have always done an outstanding job for us.  He looks at every project with an eye towards drainage and keeping water away from the house--which was important in our case.  Andrew also goes above and beyond and recommends options that are cost saving.  Most recently, Andrew created a landscaping project for us in a very wet spot of our townhouse patio.  We had a general idea of how we wanted it to look, and Andrew provided an exceptional option for cost savings in placing a circular stone slab down.  The quality of work is consistently outstanding.  We would recommend them for any project you have."

FAQs for excavation projects in Winchester, VA

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.
