When it’s time to choose an excavation contractor for your next home or business project, there are many considerations. Cost, experience, availability and reputation are all things that you want take into account. At Seaglescapes, we realize that selecting a contractor is not a simple task. While it can be tempting to go with the lowest bidder, that may end up costing you a lot of money and hassle in the long-run.
We’re confident that Seaglescsapes provides some of the highest quality excavation work around Northern Maryland and Southern Pennsylvania and we’re willing to go the extra mile to prove it. Here are some things you should consider when considering contractors for your next project.
This is likely the most important consideration when choosing an excavation contractor in Glyndon, Carroll County, Frederick County or Southern Baltimore County . An experienced contractor has worked on a wide variety of jobs in varying conditions and knows how to deal with issues as they arise. They will foresee potential problems ahead of time and have the skill to not only complete the project successfully and on-budget, but to offer unparalleled client service while they’re doing it.
Before you sign a contract with an excavating company, it’s important to ensure that they have the experience to stand behind their promises.
This is a good idea before you spend your money anywhere, really. Check out what their past customers have to say about them. Reviews on Google, Facebook and other platforms can help build a picture of what kind of business they run. Are there consistent complaints in their review profile? If so, you may want to either steer clear or address the issues with the contractor and ask what they have done to correct course.
What kind of equipment does the contractor run? Do they have quality machinery that will get the job done? The last thing you want on your site is a leaky machine dripping oil all over your land. Who wants to have a project halted for days on end because of an unreliable machine? At Seaglescapes, we run quality machinery that is well-maintained and cared for.
There are a lot of people running around with skid steers and mini excavators these days. It might surprise you to learn that they are not all necessarily insured. While any legitimate, reputable contractor is going to carry appropriate levels of insurance for the jobs they do, it’s worth checking this out just to be sure.
We get it. It’s tempting to go with the contractor who offers you the lowest price. There are times when a great contractor comes in at the lowest price, and that’s awesome. The thing is, sometimes a lower price means that the quality of the work won’t be up to standard. You may be subsidizing the education of a newer business owner or operator, or working with an underinsured company.
As you can see, selecting an excavation contractor in the Glyndon area can be a challenge. We’re confident that Seaglescapes has the experience, staff and equipment to get your project done on time and on budget.
