Get What You Pay For

Below are examples of where individuals either did not research the contractor, or based their selection solely on price.  After wasting tens of thousands of dollars, they ended up with unfinished / incompleted projects and required us to come in and complete or re-work the job correctly, requiring even additional money. 

Our prices are very competitive and we ensure that the project will be completed on time, on schedule and to or above industry standards.  See our "Testimonials" page to hear what our customers have had to say and review our work.

  Driveway construction did not account for water runoff causing washout.  Owner tried to stop the washout by patching with hay bales.

  Customer requested to be no greater than 12% slope.  Driveway grade left at a 27 % slope and left no room at house site for vehicle turnaround.

  Insufficient soil errosion protection allowing for runoff into neighboring properties causing state and county violations.

  Driveway left incomplete; did not tie into main road because of a rock area and steep slope.  Left project with no way to access the drive and no rock base.

   Washout cutting into main driveway area.  See our "Project Examples" page to see project restoration.

  Incorrect concrete form for bridge construction.

  Incorrect soil errosion causing state and county environmental violations costing land owner several thousand dollars in fines.  Regardless of what the contractor does, the property owner has the utlimate responsibility.

  Equipment incorrectly utilized causing damage to local stream.  State and county issued a NOV (Notice of Violation) requiring owner to cease or stop project until violation remedied.  Owner required to pay fine and do stream restoration in accordance with NOV.

  Poorly constructed concrete form causing blow-outs which required three times the amount of concrete.

  Bridge layout and construction methods performed incorrectly which placed beams atop embutment and improper allignment for road tie-in.

  Contractor abandoned project; unable to compelete tie-in requiring partial demolition and renovation.

The owner had requested a bridge design to allow an 80,000 lb load and due to substandard beams and decking, engineer rates the load limits at 36,000 lbs., insufficient to allow future construction of residence.
