Ready Dig Excavation

Just do it. Just hire them. We are general contractors in Los Angeles but we needed a very complicated job done in Detroit so we hired Ready Dig Excavation. Imagine hiring somebody to demo and haul 40 tons of concrete slab when you have never looked them in the eye? Thankfully we hired Frank because there were shocking unforeseen problems. The kind of problems that make your heart sink when they come up. Did Frank send me a change order for an inflated rate because I was three time zones and helpless? Nope. Could he have? In a minute. Instead, he fixed the problem, purchased four times more fill than we agreed on and didn’t charge me a dime because Frank is a man of his word.

Frank was great to work with. Frank diagnosed my repeated drain back up issues promptly and had Marcus Mike and Ken install our outside main sewer line. great guys that Completed in one day. Could not recommend them more

Frank was professional easy to talk too. Answered all of my questions and concerns. When the job was complete everything worked the way it should and clean up was as expected. Thank you so much.

Ready Dig did a fantastic job with all the excavating we needed and the waterline replacement. Very happy!

Frank and his guys did a great job.they replaced my sewer line that went down 15 ft. that most contractors didn't want to do.they gave me a reasonable estimate and finished the job on time i would highly recommend them there super knowledgeable about what they do.

I had a HUGE job that required not only excavation but putting everything back and grading everything the way it should have been. I have worked with enough contractors in my lifetime to know that a job rarely gets done without a couple of issues coming up here and there. I expect that. The most important thing is how the company responds to those issues and how they handle them. I was blown away with not only how well the owner responded but the compassionate attitude he AND his crew showed throughout the process. Now THAT is the true difference between a good company and a great company!

overall great experience

They went above and beyond to make sure we had our facilities up and running! They were in and out in no time.

The job they did was very professional, but I was dissatisfied with the finishing up. There was all kinds of debris and the dirt left clumpy, which means more work for me. I want them to know that there is plenty of room for improvement with your business! Thank you! I also want you to know, I am retired, on a fixed income for life, and money is tight for us, so I hope for the best value for the dollar. I really do appreciate the quick response to my plea for help!

Ready Dig Excavation and the team fell short. 18 feet to be exact, that is how much clay pipe they left behind. April 2016: the Project Manager found this team working in the area. They negotiated the replacement of the main. Original Problem was that the main was backing up in the basement. The goal was to fix it so this never had to be dealt with again. Issue 3 years in the main was backing up into the basement. The main was snaked issue thought to be a fluke caused by roots on the city side. What else could someone think after having the main replaced three years earlier? April 2020, 4 years later: we had the main backing up into the basement. We had it snaked and scoped. We had found the issue was ours. Ready Dig Excavation failed to replace the whole main. The issue today is that there are roots in the main drain. There is a separation between the PVC and the clay. The team was called out and discussed the issue. The representative remembered exactly what happened. They stopped the new PVC when it got difficult to dig in the tree roots. Discussion on how to proceed/fix issues occurred. Today, the team ignores our calls and text. After receiving quotes, the fix will be costly for excavating, replacing/repair of main and disposal of the driveway that will be required to be removed then later repaired. Did I mention this is a new driveway laid after the main was replaced? I recall the Team telling me I was getting a deal. This repair will cost more than the original cost to replace the entire main. If the cost seems too good to be true, it probably is!

Frank and his team are fantastic . This company has integrity and the ability to offer great service at a very competitive price.

They came looked at the job, advised me what they needed to do, on our appointment date they came and did it. The job was very professional.

They were prompt. Did good work. They suggested an upgrade to make the line better for the future, but not until the work was almost done, and it would have taken an extra day that I didn't have for them to finish. I would have liked that info to start, but they worked me into their schedule fast, got the job done quick and had my house up and running in no time. I would use them again.

Very prompt and the work was completed very fast.

Timing was not good, knowledge of landscaping was not sufficient.

Unreliable. Unprofessional. The job was supposed to be done in 1 weekend and after only doing about 50-60% of the work and a month of getting the run around I eventually had to fire them. Scheduled but never showed up with no call on several occasions. Showed up very late in the day and only worked for a few hours at a time when they did show up. Left garbage all over my yard the first day and also left a broken wheel barrel for me to dispose of. Didn't clean my driveway after dirt delivery. There was exposed landscape tarp in several areas were dirt was laid. Even scarier is that I found glass, scrap metal, and other debris in the dirt they laid to be the foundation of my lawn!

Great company

I didn't end up needing the work done, and they were great about working with me through it all. The customer service was very personal, quick, on time and very knowledgeable. Scott was my contact & he was all about getting the work done in a good time frame for me. I will use them in the future for any of my needs. I refer them to everyone because I know they'll be taken care of, no exceptions.

He was on time, did an inspection. he gave advise om what to do if the problem returned.
