EMD Contracting describes itself on its website as a small compact excavation company founded in 2018 by Ethan Dougan, serving residential, commercial and municipal clients. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0666470, is active on the state registry. A recent Google customer says they won't use anyone else for landscaping or demo, citing prompt scheduling, solid prices and good work done quick. A 2026 customer said that when a broken water pipe flooded their basement, their team responded immediately and worked through the night to get it under control. That 2026 customer also called the owner friendly and easy to work with. A 2025 customer who needed a drywell installed said EMD was honest and upfront from the quote to completion of the job. A 2025 reviewer listed excavation for plumbing or sanitary main repairs, concrete slabs and sidewalks, and catch basin repairs among the work EMD had helped with, and said the site was clean when done. A 2025 customer praised the snow removal at their plaza in Glastonbury and the attention to detail.
I'm never using anyone else for landscaping or demo. These guys are great: high fidelity, prompt scheduling, solid prices, and good work done quick.
EMD Contracting has gone above and beyond on every job they’ve done for us. Most recently, we had an emergency with a broken water pipe that caused major flooding in our basement, and their team responded immediately—working through the night to get everything under control. Their dedication and reliability truly set them apart. On top of that, the owner is incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to work with. I highly recommend EMD Contracting for any project, big or small.
We needed a drywell installed and EMD was great to work with. They were honest and upfront from the quote to completion of the job and everything was done to our satisfaction. We'd definitely use them again in the future.
Great company do work with, very knowledgeable. They do a great job.
From excavation for plumbing or sanitary main repairs, concrete slabs and sidewalks, to catch basin repairs, EMD has been there to assist. Their complete work as scheduled and when done the site is clean! They exercise caution and care for our residents and staff alike. Thank EMD for all you've done and for the feeling of partnership!
