Four quotes, and Cody's Excavation and Septic came in lowest: a recent customer said that before the company installed an entire new septic system and graded part of the lawn, then came back to check on things after the first storm. Its website lists a service area that includes Plainville, Bristol, Farmington, Cheshire and Torrington. One recent customer had Cody perform a septic inspection before buying a new home; Cody found issues that led to the tank needing replacement, and Cody then did the installation and reseeded the yard. A recent customer wrote that after a new septic system went in, the company came back to level the yard, seed it and put down hay. A 2025 customer said Cody pumped and inspected their tank, determined it had only a couple of years of useful life left, and gave a fully itemized quote; that customer said Cody and his team showed up early on install day and finished in a day. A 2025 customer said Cody completed a septic tank installation in one day and called during the installation to discuss possible concerns. The work goes beyond tanks. A 2025 customer said Cody and his team leveled the yard and installed drainage in the yard and in front of the garage. A 2025 customer said Cody did their driveway over by himself in about a day and a half. On Google the company shows 5 stars from 21 ratings, and its BBB grade is A+. A 2025 reviewer who wrote "I am a home remodeling contractor" said Cody had been their go-to for excavation and septic work.
Cody and his crew were amazing. I got 4 quotes and they were the lowest. They installed an entire new septic system for me and graded part of my lawn as well. The communication was clear, the work was fast and good. They went above and beyond, the entire project and left the place in great shape, and even came back to check on things after the first storm. I was constantly impressed by the team and my expectations were exceeded on the regular. I will start with Cody for any excavation work in the future and would recommend them to anyone who is considering project.
I highly recommend Kretschmer Excavating Service! Cody was very professional from the beginning. After I called, he came promptly, provided an official estimate with all the details, and we agreed on the price and schedule. The driveway job was done perfectly! Even though I was not there in person, Cody kept me constantly informed about every stage of the work and sent photos for my approval. The communication, professionalism, fair price, and quality of work were excellent. I was very pleased with the entire experience and would definitely recommend Kretschmer Excavating Service to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and honest work!
Cody and his team, were absolutely amazing. I can't say enough positive things about them! Cody is fairly priced, his team is professional, kind and polite They went above and beyond for me. I would recommend them over every single other company I interviewed. Thank you Cody!
