"He did a great Sales Offer and was great when starting landscaping/ grading to level ground for foundation. But once the building parts were delivered he stopped working They dug the perimeter to the building. The dumpster was repossessed late at night. Two weeks later they came and picked up all their machinery. Trey said he was waiting for 3 days of dry weather to lay concrete. We had 10 days in April. We were already passed first promise due date of April 1st. But now he says he is waiting on inspections. 1st inspection failed due to uneven foundation sand and deer prints, Permits were not collected in February as was told in February that he was getting them with signed documents from me giving him permission to get them. All payments made prior to March to keep workers on the job. They did not fulfill their end of agreement to be paid in advance, Flood vents were suppose to be ordered in January with rest of garage -- done by call to Spry Steel via conference call by Tres, me and Samantha of Spry Steel. Somehow they were overlooked and had to be reordered in May, after second completion date of May 1st. Tres has made no attempt to get anything done since perimeter dug. Last I heard he was having trouble getting inspection of dugout perimeter to get concrete. But I have been told by other contractors that they area is not dug properly and the plastic and rebar need to be spread in the area where building is to be built. The rebar and plastic are sitting in puddles of mud where it has rained over the months and Trey has not bothered to move. Rebar has grass and weeds growing over it. Plastic is becoming useless as it deteriorates in the sun and mud."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Johns Island, SC
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.
