"Lawrence was an excellent contractor, he contacted and coordinated with the gas company and with Galloway co-op. He checked in regularly with me and even tried to get a temporary tank when it was discovered that my propane levels would not last until the delivery date. He wasted no time and came early to start excavation a day before delivery and that a great job burying and leveling the Earth after the tank was installed. Very professional, would recommend."

"I'm ashamed that it has taken me this long to get around to writing a review for Alex and his team. What prompted this is he texted me this morning asking how we were, how everything was with the addition, and if anything needed addressing - who does that a year and a half after project completion? Easy answer - a person who you should work with, if given the opportunity. We knew Alex was "the guy" after we met him and got our initial quote. Before meting him, we received numerous outrageous quotes from (very) popular local contractors. In addition to the quotes being ridiculous, these contractors were also never confident in the job, which seemed odd to us, because the scope of the project didn't seem insane. Alex comes in, says no problem, verifies that it's totally possible, and a couple weeks later we have a vetted blue print and an exceptionally reasonable quote. When we decided to pull the trigger on dormering out our attic to add two rooms and a bathroom, we had little to no idea as to what the job really entailed (roofline, heat zoning, access to the rest of our house, etc.). Alex was in constant communication with us each step of the way, and in an extremely accommodating manner, where he gracefully put up with us changing our minds on certain things. Example, my wife decided we should have lights in the closet - the sheetrock was already up, but Alex said no problem and threw lights in there. A larger example - we decided that we should also finish the space above our garage - again, no problem. If you have a job, big or small, and are able to work with Alex and his team, I cannot recommend it enough. I believe building and maintaining client relationships is the life-blood of a successful business. It is clear as day that Alex has mastered this concept. This is a team you need in your corner."

Excavation services FAQs
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70 per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12 per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200 per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180 per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
Warm weather seasons like spring and summer are ideal times to excavate due to the ground being softer and easier to dig through. However, it is important to note that bad weather, like heavy blizzard conditions or torrential rainfall, can prolong the project length, increasing costs. That’s why it’s best to avoid excavating during winter or hurricane season, depending on your home’s location.
While completing an excavation project yourself is possible, we don’t recommend it. You’ll likely need to buy or rent the equipment necessary for the job. This equipment costs as $100 per hour or $2,200 weekly, increasing by as much as 50% for larger jobs.
In addition, completing an excavating job yourself poses a safety risk. If proper marking hasn't occurred, you risk hitting buried cables and other critical piping, like gas and water lines. Additionally, if working with excavation equipment, you’ll need to steer clear of any overhead wires. Leaving this project to an excavating professional is best.
