Excavation Contractor in Mercer, PA

Yes. On-site estimates within our service area are free of charge. A Thompson will come walk your property, look at the soil and access, and put a written number on the work.

Yes to all three. We carry general liability and workers comp, are PA contractor registered, and are bonded for the scope of work we sign. We are happy to send certificates before the job.

For septic systems and most excavation work that touches the right-of-way, yes. We coordinate permits with the township and county. For new builds, we work with your builder so the schedule lines up.

Typical lead time runs two to four weeks from signed quote, sometimes sooner. Spring and fall fill up fast. Emergency drainage or septic failures usually get same-week priority.

We work year-round when the ground allows. Once the frost line is deep, certain digs (footers, septic) are paused or priced differently. We will tell you straight if winter is the wrong time for your job.

If we hit something underground that the quote did not cover, like rock ledge, an old buried tank, or bad fill, we stop, show you what we found, and write a change order before we move any more dirt.

A lot of our work is sub-grade for general contractors and custom home builders across Western PA. Call the office and we will set up an account if you do regular work.

Check, ACH, or cash. A small deposit holds the schedule on bigger jobs. Final balance is due at completion, not before.
