Davis & Sons

Davis & Sons is a family-owned company in Danvers that HomeAdvisor describes as operating since 2000. Its listed work is excavation and major grading or resloping, with five projects shown; older customer accounts also describe foundation work, trenching, a retaining wall, and a concrete driveway. The dated HomeAdvisor reviews are mixed. In May 2018, a customer said the company responded quickly and delivered a result their builder praised. A 2011 customer said the quoted schedule was met and the price was lower than competitors, while a September 2009 account described trenching for an underground electric utility, a reinforced retaining wall, and a concrete driveway. These accounts are useful descriptions of past work, but the newest review is from July 2018. There are also two detailed one-star complaints that should be discussed before booking. In July 2018, a customer alleged that dirty fill containing bricks and concrete was used instead of loam, that grading was left unfinished, and that calls were not returned; the customer said the resulting basement flooded. In January 2010, another customer reported out-of-plumb, out-of-square garage foundation work and an excavation/slab job that was not scheduled after pricing. Those are old reports, but they concern exactly the kind of grading, excavation, and foundation work the profile lists. Davis & Sons may fit a Danvers-area project involving excavation, grading, or related site work. Confirm the current service scope, material specifications, drainage and grading plan, warranty or correction process, and who will handle follow-up if work needs repair.
