As the trusted neighborhood HVAC service team in Milwaukee, Mr. Holland’s Home Services is committed to running their business based on five important principles: care, empathy, and trust, being always available, outworking the competition, quality workmanship, and using their “find a way” method. By keeping these five principles in mind, the business is able to deliver nothing less than excellent work when it comes to heating, air conditioning, and indoor air quality services. The professional team at Mr. Holland’s Home Services always gets the job done right. They never cut corners and are respectful of a customer’s property. Additionally, Mr. Holland’s takes their community involvement seriously; that they have a personal responsibility to help the people in their community, not just through quality services but also through the endless support they give to organizations and charities throughout Milwaukee and even outside the country. To learn more about Mr. Holland’s Home Services, please visit the company website or call the office today.

"On September 11, 2025, I hired Mr. Holland’s to clear and diagnose a main line clog. I was charged $738.04 for drain cleaning with a snake. The invoice states the technician attempted to snake the line multiple times but could not get it open, and because the drain was still impacted they were unable to camera the line. I was told the blockage was around 90 feet from the access point, but my own measurements showed that distance would place the problem across the street, which did not make sense. In reality, the blockage was never cleared and the scope I paid for was never attempted. Even though the line was still blocked and never scoped, I was given a written estimate for $39,900.34 to excavate and replace about 7 feet of my sewer lateral. That estimate included removing two sections of sidewalk, excavating down 9 feet, cutting out and replacing pipe with PVC and a cleanout, slurry backfill, and sidewalk replacement — but no landscaping restoration. No spot-repair options were offered. I later hired Subterranean Sewer Experts, who scoped the line and found the actual blockage about 30 feet inside the basement, not 90 feet away. They also scoped another access point closer to the street, which confirmed the sewer lateral was clear and did not need replacement. I had paid Mr. Holland for clearing a clog and performing a scope, neither of which were done. I was told by both phone and text that my payment would be refunded; I even saw the refund pending, but it was later reversed without notice. Because the blockage was left in place and the scope was never done, I was forced to hire another company and pay an additional $747.40 to complete the work Mr. Holland’s failed to perform. Based on my experience, I was charged for a service that was not performed, left with a blockage still in place, given a nearly $40,000 estimate for unnecessary sewer work, and denied a refund that was promised."

It all started several years ago with a dream to be different, we wanted to challenge ourselves to be the best excavation and grading contractor in Wisconsin. The best not only limited to the quality of our work, the competitiveness of our pricing, or the size of our company, but the best more so in the journey of how we would achieve those aspirations. We wanted to be transparent with our clients, and we wanted to create a family of collaborators, not roster of employees. And today, we are well on our way to success with those endeavors. We are growing fast, and we are going strong together with those who we work with. If you have a project which will incorporate earthwork, demolition, or utility work, I highly encourage you to reach out to us to experience for yourself what we are. Look forward to hearing from you, Masterwork Construction

"This is the second time I had Masterwork do my driveway. They did an Excellent job just like the first time. I would definitely recommend Rob and his crew anytime. Thanks again."

FAQs for excavation projects in Germantown, WI

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.
