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."

"Just recently had a 48in x 48in egress window installed in our basement. The 2 gentlemen, Caleb & Graham were nothing short of awesome. I'm a retired carpenter and I can say their craftsmanship was second to none. Clean, precise. I was enjoying the perfect gape in our foundation and the framework even before they installed the window, because it was being done properly. Heck, even the hole they dug for the well was precise. Both Caleb & Graham were very friendly, communicative and courteous. Would use again and highly recommend."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

It is a common belief that excavation is easier or less costly when done in the summer or when the ground is not frozen. Seasons have little effect on when excavation can occur; however, inclement weather can prolong the duration of the job and potentially increase costs. For this reason, those in rainy climates may opt for seasons with milder weather.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.
