1 of 5 sampled reviews: slab-leak tunneling cost $13k when exterior wall drop would have been $3-5k per 3 other contractors — verify scope before approving large jobs
“It cost over 13k to tunnel and after consulting with three other companies it was clear we lost close to 10k on going the tunnel route. We are replanning the entire house for 25k and now know the leak should have been closer to the 3-5k range. Good lesson to always get several quotes.”

Positive
“We had a natural gas quick-connect installed for our home portable generator, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Mike and Sam were punctual, friendly, and communicated clearly throughout the process. The work was clean and professional, and the price was very fair. It’s hard to find contractors this reliable—I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!”
