When your project needs this trade
Additions with new foundations, drainage corrections, and egress-window installs for basement bedrooms.
How GS vets and supervises this trade
- 1. Credentials on file. Licensing wherever Illinois or your municipality requires it, plus current insurance certificates — checked before anyone sets foot on your property.
- 2. Proven on our jobs. Our bench is built from crews who have delivered on GS projects for years — not whoever answers a listing this week.
- 3. Supervised and sequenced. Your GS project lead schedules the crew, walks their work, and holds it to our punch-list standard before the next trade builds on top of it.
- 4. Covered by one warranty. Their work on your project is backed by GS — you call us, not them, if anything ever needs attention.
Excavation Contractors — common questions
- Will excavation wreck my yard?
-
There is always some disturbance, but we plan machine access with you in advance, protect what can be protected, and include rough grading in the scope so the site is left ready for landscaping.
