Hammond Excavation and Transportation

Not experienced, knowledgeable, and equipped enough to do the job. We paid just under $13,000 to have Daniel excavate our property and and prepare it for building. He assured us that we would be his only job and that he would be committed to it but he very seldom showed up to work and when he did, it wasn't until 6pm in the evening when he would stay a few hours at best. We had a nice long stretch of dry spring weather that he could have made use of and just simply didn't. And he never hired a second equipment operator like he said he would so it was just him and his backhoe. He was anxious to get paid so I wrote him a check with the understanding that if any of the contractors that followed him were to say he didn't do something right, he would come back to correct it. We did get him back to the property once because the foundation couldn't even be poured since he didn't dig the hole big enough, but then when we had someone else come to do our backfill they were taken back by what a terrible job he did. They pointed out that he didn't grade the site in a way that would keep water away from our house and the slope was so bad for the front yard that my husband wouldn't even be able to mow it safely. He also left a couple of trees that he was supposed to cut down and got the wrong size of gravel for the driveway. When I tried calling and texting to have him to correct his mistakes, he completely ignored me. We eventually had to pay another contractor $10,000 to make things right. Thanks to this company, we are $10,000 over budget and at least a month behind schedule. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE DID IN HIRING THEM.
