## The honest read

J.T. Lipovsky & CO is an excavation company that says on its website it has been in business for 40 years. A recent customer got several quotes for a water detention project and said Michael's pricing was very fair. That customer said he estimated 2 1/2 days and the job took exactly that long, and that the site was kept clean for an excavation project.

A 2026 customer said Mike served as project GC on a 1,200 sqft home addition, with grading and foundation prep in the excavation phase. That customer said the company handled the permitting and the coordination with subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, framing and roofing.

A 2024 customer described a back-yard project with an "endless amount of rocks" and said Mike and his father Jimmy started exactly when they said they would. In that 2024 review, Mike communicated often and stayed within budget. A 2022 customer said digging for a new in-ground pool hit rock, and that Mike and Jim came right away, worked about 4 days to excavate it out and helped haul away the rock and debris. In a 2022 review, a customer said the company helped a beach community remove old cabanas that needed abatement due to lead paint and asbestos, a project that took months.

A 2024 customer who hired the company to demolish a house and dispose of the material said it left a large mound of concrete material it promised many times to remove, still there over a year later.

**Strengths:**
- Estimate kept — a recent customer said a 2 1/2-day estimate held exactly
- A clean job site — a recent customer said the excavation site stayed clean
- Rock excavation — a 2022 customer said rock halting a pool dig was removed
- Home addition GC — a 2026 customer said Mike ran a 1,200 sqft addition

**Concerns:**
- Leftover concrete — a 2024 customer said a promised removal never happened
