excavators, landscaping, pavers, gravel
+ 1 moreKen and David did a great job digging a trench under our gravel driveway. It needed to be 70 feet and 24 inches deep for code. We put down conduit pipe, back filled and spread new gravel for finishing. It looks better than before and now we can finally get electric to our detached barn. We plan on doing a few more landscape/excavation projects, and will certainly be calling Ken.
Description of Work: Trench for running electrical to the garage/barn.

excavators, septic tank
+ 0 moreThis glib man when initially contacted has a serious problem with professionalism and if he cannot bring along contact info and call a potential client if he cannot keep an appointment and then get angry if I got annoyed at his lack of consideration then there is no way I could trust someone with this temperament to do an expensive job for me. How did he get A ratings?
Description of Work: I needed to have an old steel septic tank removed and a new concrete one installed. He did not keep the appointment and got nasty when i asked why he did not call to cancel if he was at another job and I told him that my time is as valuable as his. He yelled and said that I should find somebody else if I could not accept his apology as he did not have my contact info and was working on another job at least 1/2 hour away and it would be too dark to inspect my site anyway. I told him that I could not trust someone who behaved the way he did to do an expensive job and I then terminated the call. How did he get an A rating?

+ -1 moreKen and his son Dylan did an excellent job. They understood my project and I believe properly priced it. They came when they said they would, did their work within one day and everything turned out great. I had one issue I needed readdressing and they came right out and fixed it. I would definitely hire them again!

+ -1 moreHe came to look and said he could do it within the next two weeks. I never heard from him and gave him a call to ask if he was still interested in the job. He said he would was and it would be "next Friday or Monday". It has now been over three weeks and no word from him. He never sent a written quote. I know this is a busy time for him, but if he doesn't want the job say so and I will find someone who does.

septic tank
+ -1 moreKen respond to my add as second guy from 4 what I choose from Angies List. First guy said he is too far third said he is too busy fourth never call back. Ken stop by after his shift to take a look at the problem, he explain me game plan for repair with possible cost estimate. Show up next day with crew and did all repair in few hours including trip to plumbing supply store. Cost for whole operation end up on lower lower of the estimate. Very humble guy very grateful, professional . Please hire Ken when you need work to be done in old fashion manner . He deserve to be busy all the time.
