"Ron and Brian were great. I needed an earth moving company ASAP and Ron was a great communicator and helped me with leveling for a playground and filling in a large hole I dug out with an excavator. I got overzealous and created a mess and Ron and his crew were able to not only fix my problem, but do it for a fair rate and a quick turnaround time. They listened to my needs and provided a great solution to my problem. I would recommend ATLAS to anyone and am really pleased with the work."

Renting an excavator with a professional operator costs more than renting equipment only, reflecting the added value of skilled labor. This arrangement eliminates the learning curve associated with machine operation and transfers liability to the service provider. For homeowners without experience with heavy equipment, the additional expense often proves worthwhile through increased efficiency and a reduced risk of property damage or personal injury.
Residential foundation work often requires a medium-sized excavator with sufficient digging depth and power to handle the project effectively. These machines offer the necessary capabilities without the excessive costs of larger models. When selecting equipment, consider both the foundation dimensions and site access limitations. The appropriate bucket width is also important—wider buckets move more material quickly, while narrower options provide greater precision in confined spaces.
Equipment rental requires some form of liability coverage. While some homeowners' insurance policies extend to rented equipment, many do not provide adequate protection. Rental companies offer insurance options or require proof of appropriate coverage before releasing equipment. Coverage requirements and costs vary based on the equipment value and project scope, making it essential to verify your protection before beginning work.
While formal certification isn't always mandatory for equipment rental, operating an excavator safely requires proper training. Most rental companies provide basic operational instructions, but expect renters to have some familiarity with heavy machinery. Depending on your location and project type, local regulations may require specific certifications or permits. Research your area's requirements before renting to ensure compliance with all applicable safety regulations.
Securing your equipment reservation well in advance of your project start date is advisable, particularly during the construction season. A two-week advance booking is recommended to ensure availability of your preferred machine type and size. During slower periods, shorter notice may be acceptable, but early planning provides greater flexibility and peace of mind. Some rental companies offer scheduling priority to customers who book further in advance.
