A July 2024 customer who needed a permanent replacement for deteriorated garden stairs said Keenan quoted within two days and completed the work the following week.
I reached out to Keenan to discuss a garage demolition. From start to finish he was top notch. He responded immediately, scheduled a visit and was tranparent about potential issues that could come up.(None did, he dropped the garage like a surgeon). Everything about our interactions was positive. He coordinated with the paver who is coming in, prepped the ground for our new shed to be set on, and pulled all the permits that were required. He removed all the debris and left the site clea and tidy. If you need a reliable demo done by a professional, this is the guy to call.
Keenan and his crew did a great job correcting some previous excavation work I had done building a garage. He answers and returns calls promptly, was fair with his pricing and started on the day he said he would. Top notch work that came out great, we will be using his company for other excavation work we need done. Being in the construction business, I appreciate dealing with a professional who knows his trade very well.
We have had Keenan do two jobs for us now. One was grading and second was a French drain. Both times he was professional, listened to our needs, and provided expert options. He is great with communications- responds to messages in a timely manner and clearly explains what he recommends.
We hired Keenan to help us remove a concrete walkway and regrade our yard to help with some drainage issues during heavy rains. He was able to look at our property and give us a quote within a few days of contacting him, and he answered all our questions and explained exactly how he'd tackle the project. When we were ready to hire him, we were able to get on his schedule quickly, which was a huge plus for us. On the day the work was scheduled, he showed up promptly and completed the job within half a day. We won't hesitate to hire him again for future excavation projects we might need!
Kennan and his team completed a tennis court removal at our residential property. From start to finish he was professional! The quote was fair, he answered questions honestly, the work was completed in the timeframe we were given, communication was top notch and the project was perfectly execute. We love the final outcome and would recommend their business to anyone!
