Ben is always on time and shows up when he says he's going to for our jobs. He's such a likable business man and will get you done within a budget that works for you. Highly recommend Ben for any major job associated with excavating, drain lines, hardscapes & pavers, stone & gravel, or septic replacement.
Description of Work: Ben gave us an estimate to remove a 20x25 concrete parking area for our investment property and haul away. In addition, he gave us a great deal on installing landscaping block around the perimeter of the parking area before he fills the parking space back in with stone. We will also be using him to dig out our drain line and supply lines to the cities as well. This is a very hold house and has a hug renovation budget, Ben helped keep the budget for these "extras" down and get them done right.

The job went really well, he was on time and professionally. He cleaned up after the job like he was never there. I highly recommend using Exceptional Excavating.
Description of Work: I had him come and give me a qoute on a new brick paver patio. It wasn't that big of an area , sohis price came in really well at $2,700 for material and labor. Once he got there to do the job, he said tha ti had a few areas that he would need to dig out to give the best look for my project. He laso brought out some sotne to line my driveway area near the road, which was $175. I had asked him if he did other types of services and he said he could install new septic sytems as well.

A+ They did a great job. They were in and out in just one day.
Description of Work: I used Exception Excavating to take a look at my drain near my driveway. He came out and had some awesome ideas to use brick pavers and tier the patio and steps down to our pool. He had to dig out some areas that were high, so we could level out some of the areas. While we were having Ben install the new back yard landscaping, our drains started backing up. Before there was water everywhere and now the yard drains very well. We found out that we had an obstructed drain line and it needed replaced. Ben was able to provide the excavating, as well as the repipe of a new drain line from the city to our house. He did an awesome job and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of these types of services. He was very professional and punctual. He came out when he said he would and did a great job. Ben and his crew did not sit around on my front lawn like some other contractors that I have hired. They went right to work and did exactly what I needed. In addition to this, we have a culvert pipe that needed replaced as well. Been was able to remove the existing pipe, install a new one, and backfill with gravel and stone. Great work he did.

I called Ben to investigate a possible leak in an exterior water faucet. He discovered the issue with the exterior water faucet and replaced the line. He also noticed the house was "losing" water somewhere. He detected a leak in the line from the street to the house. When the home was built, the waterline was laid on a rocky new construction bed. Over time, the rocky bed produced a hole in the line. Ben changed the line for less than was quoted by other contractors.
Description of Work: Changed water line into the home. Replaced exterior water faucet.

Ben inspected the area and found a collapsed section of my drain line. As he was finishing up the repair he noticed several other areas in my yard that showed signs of leaking. He suspected my issue was from tree roots that had penetrated line. He laid out my options to correct the issue. I choose to replace the line with PVC to prevent the issue from ever occurring again. He didn't have to, but he didn't charge me for the three hours he spent repairing the initial issue. Ben was prompted, knowledgeable, and worked hard to get the job done in one visit.
Description of Work: Ben was called to repair my sump drain line from my house to the storm sewer.

foundation repair
  + -1 more
Initial work was satisfactory, with no outstanding issues. However the foundation has began leaking again. Initial calls to Exceptional Excavating were made in Jan. 2012 & responded to, however the company has yet to return to my property to assess the problem (see attached photo). Ben Floyd (owner) reported he has a waterproofing "expert" he's consulting with regarding this problem, but now no longer returns my phone calls or test messages. I've also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, # 8919426.
Description of Work: The back, east side and partial front of the house was dug up around the foundation down to the footer. Concrete foundation was pressure washed and water-proofed, 1/4" foam board was installed over foundation to protect water proofing and add insulation. Perimeter drain tile was replaced/repaired as well. Area around foundation was back-filled and compacted. Surrounding yard (including all of front yard) was regraded to aid drainage away from the house & reseeded.
