R E JOHNSON CONSTRUCTION CO

I am writing this review because of the professional and absolutely honest work that was performed by Bob Johnson of R.E. Johnson Construction Co. My septic leach field had failed and I proceeded to get several construction quotes. As soon as I spoke to Bob on the phone he immediately struck me as honest and professional. A few days later he visited my property and my wife Debbie had a chance to meet and speak with him. She had the same feeling as I did about Bob. His construction quote was competitive and I decided to go with him. I don't often write reviews but I am writing this for Bob because he exceeded my expectations. As a matter of fact I have been a home owner for 28 years and Bob was the most professional and honest contractor I ever hired. He performed the job in a timely fashion and as promised with the ground leveled and graded after the work was completed. I asked him if he could fill in a sink hole that was already in the yard and if he could also pull out several old bushes that were next to the project. I told Bob that I would pay him extra for these services. When I went to settle the bill with Bob he said that there was no extra charge. I gave Bob an extra $200.00 tip and I wish I had given him more at the time we settled the bill. This is the reason I am writing this review as a way to thank Bob for his honesty and professionalism. He had to drive a tractor excavator on my lawn to dig the new leach field. There were tractor marks on my lawn from the weight of the machine and the metal tracks made deep impressions into my lawn. I wasn't worried about this because I figured that when the winter snow came and went, in the spring the lawn would be level again. However, when Bob completed the job I saw that he filled in the impressions with loom. That extra loom to fill in the tracks in the lawn were not in the contract and that was just an extra service that Bob Johnson provided. ( I was amazed ) Bob also laid wooden boards down from my driveway to the lawn so that my driveway wouldn't crack from the weight of tractor and its metal tracks. ( The Driveway did not crack ) Lastly, Bob Johnson also filled in my leach field with C3 sand. Which is an upgrade to what we agreed on in the contract. Someday when I sell the home and the home inspector goes to Town Hall and sees that C3 sand was used for the new leach field the new buyer will be assured that the leach field and septic system has may years of service left.

Great!! Bob and his son Blake showed up on the date promised and finished the job on the day he said he would. Took the time to explain the process and actually left the yard in better shape than before he started. I would highly recommend him.

Bob is a total pro, courteous, knowledgable, insightful. I didn't hire him because I didn't end up buying the house, but after we met him my wife and I knew for sure that if we ever needed septic or site work done, we would absolutely be calling him again. First, he arrived exactly on time on a Saturday to give us a free estimate. Many contractors we talked to wanted to charge us for an estimate because the property was in a rural area. He immediately understood the type of land, the soil, ledge issues. He said he's been doing excavating for 28 years and his experience was instantly palpable. Very impressive guy and very likable too.

He is conscientious and shows up when he says he will. He knows what he is doing. He is reasonable with his prices and I have used him for years. I would never use anyone else and I would highly recommend him.

I was extremely impressed with every aspect of his work -- a true professional. He arrived exactly on time with his own heavy-duty machines (power shovels and construction-grade truck). He attended to every detail, and finished in an amazingly short time, only three days for the installation and one day for landscaping. He arranged for an electrician as part of the job, negotiated effectively with the engineers and Board of Health, gave good advice on other contractors, and personally worked long hours. He was pleasant, intelligent, and courteous. He appears to be a man that can be trusted. The provider, Robert Johnson, worked only with his son Blake. This two-man team did the work of much larger teams that I have encountered previously.
