“I was incredibly pleased with the work [Company Name] did on my home addition. Kevin was fantastic – he kept me informed every step of the way, which really put me at ease. The quality of the excavation, backfilling, and grading was top-notch, and the crew’s workmanship was excellent.

“GLE did a fantastic job getting this old house ready for the new build. I really appreciated how smoothly everything went, especially with the communication – Kevin was incredibly responsive and helpful while I was out of state. I’m very pleased with the work they did and I’d definitely be in touch with Kevin again when I’m ready to start on the new house.”
-
“I’ve worked with Kevin on a lot of different projects over the past 17 years, and I couldn't be happier with his work. He’s tackled everything from waterproofing six of my rental properties to preparing my shop and even building the foundations and basement for my own home – and I’ve never had a single problem. He’s a really skilled and reliable contractor, and I wholeheartedly recommend him.”
-
“I was really impressed with Great Lakes Excavating. They took down my old garage and, incredibly, they were so careful they managed to salvage my vintage MG – bringing it out of the demolition completely undamaged! From start to finish, they were professional and the cleanup was outstanding. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing excavation work.”
-
“I’ve been really pleased with Great Lakes Excavating’s work on several projects I oversee. They’ve tackled some complex foundation work and consistently found clever solutions for managing water intrusion in both commercial and residential buildings. The team is incredibly professional and always meticulously followed the project plans.”

GLE did an absolutely fantastic job with my backyard excavation. They were incredibly skilled at handling the challenging project, efficiently removing everything and bringing in top-quality materials. I really appreciated how responsive and professional they were, always happy to answer my questions and keep me informed. Ultimately, the results were fantastic, and the cost was very reasonable.
-
“I had a really awful experience with this guy. The first half of the job went okay, but after I paid for the second half, he completely disappeared. He never showed up to finish the work and I had to actually threaten legal action just to get my money back. Honestly, he was a terrible contractor. I wouldn’t use him even if he was offering a huge discount. It’s frustrating because he initially said he’d be back within four weeks after the previous year’s flood, but I waited six weeks and then, the very week he promised it was ready, the ground was still too wet. I ended up having to hire a different company, who did a fantastic job.”
-
GLE is truly exceptional. They’re the most ethical excavator I’ve ever worked with – completely honest and reliable, with no hidden fees or rushed work. Their scheduling is incredibly precise and dependable, and the quality of their work is simply outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.
-
Kevin and the team at Great Lakes Excavating did an absolutely fantastic job. I’d definitely recommend them – they were honest, really friendly, and their work was top-notch and priced fairly. I’ll be sure to use their services again in the future.
-
I’m incredibly disappointed with this company. They caused damage to my property and, frankly, haven’t responded to any of my attempts to contact them. It took a year and ultimately going through legal channels to finally get them to take the issue seriously. I’m seriously considering filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and strongly advise against hiring them – they don’t seem to uphold any standards of service.
