5 Questions to Ask to Validate Your Commercial Excavating Contractor

If you’re beginning a commercial excavating project, you definitely need the right contractor. You want the peace of mind that your job will be performed by professional, experienced individuals with a reputation for high quality service. Here are 5 questions to ask before hiring a commercial excavating contractor. 

License Please

You will want to know if the contractor is licensed and insured. If a contractor has both, and is able to provide you with documentation, you’ll be assured that the contractor has an established business with the credentials and insurance to back up his work. Shrock Excavating has been awarded the ODOT certification and is licensed and insured for your protection.

Age Please

Another question to ask a potential contractor is how old their business is. You may not want an excavating contractor who is just getting started and doesn’t have a lot of experience doing the type of project you are needing done. Shrock Excavating has been in business for many decades and has the expertise to complete any size project.

Experience Please

Excavating is a broad field. You do not want a contractor who only does pipeline projects if you are needing a foundation or crawl space dug.   It is essential to determine if the contractor has experience in the type of work you need completed. Researching their website and reading their reviews should give you an understanding of what projects each contractor has experience in. 

Services Please

You will want to determine the extent of your project and what services you need done. You may want to hire an excavation contractor that can provide all of the services you are needing completed instead of hiring multiple contractors. Shrock Excavation provides an array of services including demolition, waterline taps, foundation digs, road and driveway excavation and many more. 

Estimate Please

Finally, you will need to inquire as to the cost of your project. Keep in mind that a highly reputable and established excavating contractor may have a higher estimate, especially if they are providing multiple services to complete your project. Be sure to know exactly what services are needed before hiring a contractor so you are not surprised if a new issue arises prior to completion.
