Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about excavation & grading.
“During a severe winter storm in February 2024, a large pothole developed in our parking lot, creating a significant safety hazard for our patients. Despite the challenging weather conditions, the emergency repair team responded within 4 hours. They performed a temporary repair that allowed immediate safe access, and completed a permanent repair within 48 hours after the weather cleared. The total cost was $2,850 for a 200 sq ft repair, including emergency service fees. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations, with proper drainage correction, and we have had no follow-up maintenance issues after 8 months. I was particularly impressed with the professional communication throughout the process. I would highly recommend this service to other medical facilities. Special thanks to crew leader James Miller for his outstanding service and compliance with hospital safety protocols during the repair. The transparent pricing with no hidden fees was greatly appreciated. Reliable contractors are crucial for critical facilities like ours.”
