Although scheduling was difficult, Aaron came highly recommended and did a great job. We had a huge project to replace sewage pipes from our house to the street- about 40 feet, while keeping landscaping and brick walls intact. He did a great job! And was very friendly and helpful.
Description of Work: Sewage piping replaced from house to street

It was excellent. They were very professional and got it done the same day. They went above and beyond and made sure to not harm a tree that I liked on my property that was sitting on the edge of the septic tank. I was very satisfied. I was totally happy.
Description of Work: They crushed my septic tank and connected me to city sewer.

Everything went great. We had no working sewer lines which was an obvious problem. One of the larger companies wanted over 15K for the same pipe bursting work. Another quoted 12K to excavate. We just didn't want to deal with digging up the landscaping. In fact, the quote we signed was 8,800 but when Aaron saw we had sand, not clay, credited us $400. Who does that? I cannot understand the F reviews - it seems to be from those who didn't get an appointment? He is very busy and unlike many contractors, won't take on work if he can't schedule you in. I guess we got lucky. We would give Aaron an A++ if I could. He & his family run business were simply a joy to work with.
Description of Work: Aaron & his crew replaced our sewer pipes from the house to the city. He used "pipe bursting" through our old 1924 Orange Burg and partial pvc which meant we could avoid excavation/ replacing the landscape. He and his crew were very professional, very polite, very efficient and cleaned up.

Don't bother - you won't get a call back! When I first called, the woman who answered was pleasant, I emailed the county permit, and she said Aaron would be in touch with me the following day. I never received a call so I called the office again at the end of the following day and spoke to the same woman. She said it would be probably take about a week to get a quote and Aaron would be in contact. Aaron never contacted me in that week, so I left a message that has still not been returned.
Description of Work: I was seeking a quote for a septic drain field replacement.

Description of Work: The main water line between the city vale and my house was cracked (probably for some time) and water was running down the street. I noticed this problem on Monday called the city to confirm the problem. They gave me a list of approved contractors for the city of Rochester Hills. I called 4 companies. 3 came out the next day on Tuesday. We were leaving for vacation on Thursday. Because of the July 4th holiday 2 companies (whose quotes were the highest) could not get the job done for a week or so. Aaron called Miss Dig and pulled city permits Tuesday afternoon. They were on the job the following morning and finished the job the same day without any damage to my landscaping. They did great work and very professional. They did me a big favor getting the job done in less than 24 hours from initial contact.

Aaron started the project on time. Everyone in his company were friendly and worked well together. Aaron explained the project and patiently answered all our questions during the project. Aaron had to work with Oakland County and their extreme requirements and he handled our yard as if it was his yard. It took 5 days to dig up our back yard, replace the pipe and fill the hole. He even helped my husband replace one section of sidewalk that was removed. Everything Aaron and his crew did was professional. Totally trustworthy!!!!!
Description of Work: Aaron replaced our entire septic field.

Called for an appt 3 times. The third time they told me they would be out by the weekend. Never heard from them. He did tell me that he was really busy but he could have had the decensy to call me back and try to arrange something. I felt like he didn't want the job.
Description of Work: Nothing!

We were getting water in our basement at a time when it hadn't rained in a week. We assumed it was the water line and had the water shut off to our house. There was no indication there was a main water line break so we assumed it was a service line leak and got a quote from Aaron to bore a hole for a new service line and install it. The line was short and entirely covered by an asphalt driveway. A few days later after having the water shut off and the almost not rain, water continued to come in. We met with town DPW who told us that when the crew dug down to the valve to shut off our service, water was flowing back into the hole from the direction of our house but not from the water line, and by this time a water line break would have made itself known, so it must be residual water still in the ground from a bad service line. When I left on business travel the next day and water seemed to be coming in at a similar rate as when the water was shut off, we weren't sure that we really knew what the cause was. Aaron came while I was gone and suggested he break through the driveway and expose the service line. That turned out to be the right call, as the service line was fine. After some effort, DPW uncovered a leak in water line two houses away from us. While he was there Aaron had called the town DPW so they could see what was going on. He really did a great job.
Description of Work: Excavated around service line from water main to home.

The work was performed as described with little disruption to my service. They started the work the day after I contracted with them and completed the job in 2 days. Everything was handled very professionally and they even replanted a couple of bushes and reconnected my sprinkler lines (which no one else would include in their quote). Overall great job.
Description of Work: Aaron's Excabating replaced the sewage drain from my home to the main line in the street. They also replaced the water line at the same time, including prepping the hook-up for a new water meter.

I have nothing but recommendations, they did an excellent job and their price was good. They specialize sewer, water, and septic systems.
Description of Work: They did an excavation for a sewer installation at my house. The fee includes his permit issued by the city, and his bond fee, the bond is required and the bond will be returned to me in this case.
