"Dave and AJ from Freedom Contracting & Excavating did a great job for a reasonable price. I had an idea for an outdoor griddle setup using natural gas instead of propane tanks. I thought it was a long shot but they were able to make it happen. Very courteous and straight forward. They even went above and beyond by helping me with the natural gas conversion on my griddle. I would definitely hire them again and if you need any gas line work done, call Freedom C & E for sure! Thanks again!"

"Owner showed up with a small crew and a crazy new piece of equipment. Excavated down below my foundation and to the septic tank. Came into the basement and jackhammered the floor. Removed all the old terracotta pipe inside and out. Installed all new PVC pipe all the way down to the septic tank. Put gravel down to protect the new pipe. Poured concrete in the basement to close the floor back up. Only took one day to get the new pipe in. Came back the next to close the ground and floor up. Great experience, basement no longer smell like sewage."

"*PUBLIC BEWARE* If you have A-Affordable do work at your home you need to tell them if you do not want to have your property damaged. At least this is what I was told after the fact by the owners & their son that worked on my job. As far as I am aware the work that I hired them to perform was done well. The problem is that their heavy equipment mangled my asphalt driveway to the point where I had to hire an asphalt contractor to make repairs. My driveway was cracked & patched before they came but it was for the most part level, smooth and not a tripping hazard. Since completing their work the asphalt is ripped up, a severe tripping hazard and can no longer be plowed. I asked A Affordable to split the cost of the repair with me. Despite admitting the asphalt was damaged by them they were unwilling to do anything for me. I was repeatedly told if I had just told them I did not want my driveway damaged this would not have happened."

"Horrible Experience. I contracted with Blackwood Group, LLC in July 2024 for a driveway demolition, wall build and decorative stamped concrete driveway installation. During the course of the project, representatives of Blackwood lied to me, screamed at me, hung up on me, used profanity directed at me, sent a crew that refused or didn’t know how to follow the engineering drawings or guidance from Versa Lok for the wall build, and generally made the project a miserable experience. The job was not completed in a workmanlike manner and to the quality that was described in the contract. The work stopped in August 2024. The quality of the work was so poor that Pete Blackwood (owner of Blackwood Group) came onsite to look at it and agreed that it needed to be ripped out and re-done. He agreed that he would do that. Pete spent the Fall of 2024 attempting to find a suitable contractor that could complete the job but was not successful. Additionally, there is damage that the Blackwood Group work crew caused to the front of our house - concrete spatter on front door, concrete spatter on the front trim (newly painted) around door, concrete spatter on the brick front of the house, and concrete spatter on a planter. Blackwood Group work crew also damaged our in-ground sprinkler system so that the zone near the front of the house doesn't work any longer. As of today, no work to fix the issues has been done. We had paid him $37600. He offered to refund $18650 and stated that he still wants to do the work and then when complete, we would pay him the remaining amount outlined in the contract. He did refund $18650. He informed us 2 weeks ago that Blackwood Group was for sale and he was in talks with a buyer. At that point, we told him that we want all of our money back. Pete has agreed to refund the balance back to us, but has yet to refund us. He still owes us ~$19000 not including the legal fees that we have incurred because of this situation. In summary, I DO NOT RECOMMEND."

Excavation major grading or reslopings FAQs

The excavation process requires four to eight weeks after preparations are complete. This timeline may extend considerably if contractors encounter unexpected challenges such as rocky soil formations, concealed utility lines, or foundation issues requiring remediation. Additional time requirements for drainage installation, waterproofing, and utility connections should also factor into your planning schedule. Consulting with experienced local contractors provides the most accurate timeline projections.

Creating a basement in high water table conditions remains possible but requires specialized moisture management systems. Contractors implement comprehensive waterproofing, robust drainage networks, and appropriate sump pump systems to manage groundwater infiltration. These enhanced moisture protection measures increase project costs but remain essential for long-term functionality. Professional evaluation of specific site conditions determines the most appropriate moisture management approach.

Several indicators suggest potential challenges for basement excavation, including consistently damp soil conditions, visible foundation deterioration, or significant settlement in existing structures. Properties with unstable soil compositions or bedrock near the surface may present prohibitive excavation costs. Professional structural assessment identifies specific challenges and potential mitigation strategies before committing to major excavation projects.

The value enhancement from basement additions varies considerably based on local market preferences, finish quality, and functional utility. Well-executed basement spaces with proper egress, comfortable ceiling heights, and quality finishes provide the strongest return on investment. Consulting with local real estate professionals provides insight into specific value expectations for your market area and property type.

Most jurisdictions require comprehensive building permits for basement excavation projects due to their structural implications. These include general construction permits plus specific approvals for structural modifications, electrical installations, plumbing systems, and mechanical equipment. Many municipalities also require engineer-stamped plans certifying structural integrity. Working without proper permits risks substantial penalties and potentially costly remediation requirements.
