Description of Work: Sewer and water main pipes replaced in 2010 (the approximate date of service doesn't let me use a date earlier than 1/1/2011???). Money well spent! Had low water pressure + ROOTS in the sewer pipe (BIG issue). Steve + 1 worked 3 days and got it all done (incl. removal of huge tree stump). No issues ever since! Once the contract was signed he was extremely punctual.

We hired Glidden Excavation to dig our new water line from the Town of Ashland. They arrived on time, did the job through to completion without breaking, kept us apprised of their progress throughout, and cleaned up the area admirably when they were finished. Their demeanor was throughly professional, they were respectful of our needs and our property, and we felt like their fee was well earned. Of the three estimates we received for this work, there's was not the cheapest nor most expensive, but was worth what they charged given the final outcome. I can't recommend Stephen and his company more highly. We're very pleased.

We had roots growing inside the cast iron pipes (part of the original sewer line), found after they cause the first clogged sewer in many years. After a few times re-scheduling, Stephen came with a small digger and a dump truck, on time, worked very diligently, and left no mess behind. I could not be happier.

Description of Work: Excavated some 5ft down, some 20ft long, till they found the sewer line. Cut off the cast iron pipe by the foundation, and replaced it with PVC. Installed a new inspection point, leveling it just below the lawn's level. Refill the hole, level the area, removed large rocks and concrete parts (from 2 bases previously broken up). Cleaned up the area.

We were battling problems (low water pressure and roots in the sewer pipe) since we moved into our house (first time homeowners), and roto rooter made somepretty buck on us. It was time for more radical measures. After interviewing 3 potential contractors, we chose Glidden (reasonable price and all the neighbors who had hired him were happy with his work). Except for a minor miscommunication before work started, Steven was punctual, polite and very professional. Our yard was a tough place to work, but Steven didn't overcharge for the surprises along the way. Ever since work was completed we haven’t had any issues with the water pressure or the sewer. And every neighbor who had asked us who did the work for us has been recommended to use Glidden Excavations.
