Joe did a great job, very accommodating and exceeded our expectations in the quality of work he performed. Cleared a quarter of an acre of property within 2 days. Was seamless and professional.

Joe did a great job, along with his staff they were very kind. He made sure he fixed all the damage from the front loader and graded all the dirt. He is also building a rock wall for us, so he has been doing two jobs for us. Would recommend him to my friends

J&A did a great job, They were extremly careful, did not rush, and did the job with very high temperatures in mid June in a full sun driveway. I will definitely recommend him and his crew. They did and amazing job. They also had a very accesible price, I had five other estimates to choose from.

Good quality work, but it took a long time due to his prior work commitment and clerical issues. Very nice guy, quality crew.

"I did not realize the job required a state permit. Which was my fault. It took over a month to get the permit from the state."

I had a near impossible driveway job and through hard work J&A pulled it off. And at a much below cost than I would have though possible.

Went above and beyond the call of duty, repaired a problem much more complex then originally thought. And they did the repair for the quoted amount, in spite of the additional work involved.

After interviewing and getting cost estimates with all 3 recommended contractors, who were all very professional and friendly, I decided to hire J&A Excavating because their price was the best suited to our budget. The work was just completed this past Monday, October 12th and they did a wonderful job. Throughout the process, Joseph O'Boy and his wife Angie were always available for assistance, to answer questions, to make recommendations and in general, were just a pleasure to deal with. The completed job looks great, they completely cleaned up the debris from the work and were pros from start to finish. I would recommend them to all.

Price was reasonable, project went over schedule and minor confusion at the end of the job
Response from J & A Excavating, LLC
"Project went over schedule due to homeowner adding extra work to original contract. More work means more time. There is no confusion about this."

The owner was nice but the quality and detail of the job were lacking. When I compare my driveway to my neighbors paving job (done by a different contractor at the same time) I realize just how bad my driveway looks; i.e. footprints are visible, roller marks and the asphalt is already coming up in one area. Topsoil should have been laid down to replace a driveway turnaround but that never happened. Instead I had to screen the excavated area for the rocks and stones that were left over from the job and laid bagged topsoil from HD. Very disappointed with the quality.
Response from J & A Excavating, LLC
"This driveway still looks perfect!"

Everything seems good, still waiting for him to finish putting down the topsoil to replant grass but the major part of the job was done as expected
Response from J & A Excavating, LLC
"Top soil was delivered after this review. Homeowner was happy."
