Cat-Tracks Excavation LLC

I called Cat Tracks because I needed some excavation work. I figured they were busy this time of year so I wanted to get an idea of their availability and if they were interested in my job. The first call went out on 31July - they still have not responded as of 11Aug to that call or a subsequent call. When I ran my construction business I at least had the courtesy to return all calls and talk with the potential customer even if my schedule was crowded because I did not know their schedule or how lucrative their job might be without that communication. Any quality business should at least provide the courtesy to return calls and say they cannot take the job. I got hold of Tim Tapani Construction and Dale and I talked several times to try to schedule my work but in the end it just wasn't going to work out in an agreeable time frame so Dale had another contractor he knew contact me and it's working out great.

It all went very well. It took longer than expected because I kept on adding to the scope of the project and wanted to take advantage of having a machine there and Travis was friendly and patient with the changes we made throughout the day. He didn't complain about having to stay an extra 2 hours to finish all the extra work I had him do. Travis transformed our backyard and it looks much better and bigger now with previously useless hills now terraced for useful gardening. I told him I was price sensitive and he seemed to respect my budget limitations and communicated with me how much time it would take him to finish the work so there would be no surprises and it took exactly how long he said it would. He was very professional. Make sure you call 811 before you dig so the utility companies mark where the utility lines are. The project went very smooth. I will definitely hire Travis again to come back for some front yard projects I need help with next year. He charged me $85 setup fee + $85 per hour after that. Fair price for the good work completed.
