C&H Excavation and Concrete

They were decent on communication, and they quoted about the same price as everyone else in the area. The work on the other hand was subpar. They did not prep the site low enough to where the back corner was in the air. When I asked them to fix this they said backfilling was not part of the bid, but offer to come back and put the extra gravel around the corner. This mistake requires actual land raising around the corner with fill dirt. This was not a problem with backfilling. The foundation should have never looked like this. I can't believe they left the job "finished" thinking this was ok.

Can't say enough about Colby Perotti and his team that includes his grandfather who has been in the business for fifty years. Colby took on an extremely difficult house foundation on a steep hillside at my place on Norris Lake. As we encountered rock and other challenges at the site, C&H always had the right solutions and worked them in a timely and cost effective manner. It really helped that the same team worked all phases including, digging, site prep, footers, foundation, slab, water, septic, etc. Can't imagine having to coordinate multiple contractors to complete the project.

Pros: Very responsive. Colby helped negotiate a lower price for our concrete wall contractor. Cons: Discovered evidence that construction zones were not prepped prior to fill / pour. Found large roots sticking out of footers and debris in areas with backfill. Tore up my concrete walls while backfilling basement and patio. I constantly had to get on to them about cleaning out trenches and backfill, and fixing their work before it gets permanently embedded in concrete. I took before-and-after photos of our water line trench and they left large rocks (capable of damaging the pipe) they practically would have had to trip over. They were still present in their same spots before we were ready to fill the trench, after they told me they had cleared the trench. So either they were lying or
