At Cohesive Construction & Excavation LLC, we receive numerous inquiries about our services, practices, and procedures. To assist you better, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions. For any additional clarifications, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us directly.

Can You Provide Same-Day Site Visits?
Understanding the immediate needs of our clients, we strive to accommodate same-day site visits whenever possible. However, the nature of our work often requires advance scheduling, ranging from a few days to several weeks. Despite these constraints, we remain committed to finding the most convenient arrangements for our clients, especially in urgent scenarios.
How Do I Receive an Estimate?
Our pricing model adheres to industry standards, promising transparency and fairness to all our clients. Estimates are tailored to the specifics of each project, whether priced as a lump sum or by cubic yardage. We encourage clients to provide detailed information about their project’s scope to ensure the most accurate estimate.
Where Does the Excavated Material Go?
We take the responsible disposal of excavated materials seriously. Contaminated soil is directed to specialized facilities designed for safe incineration, while uncontaminated topsoil typically finds use in covering landfills or rehabilitating other sites. Detailing disposal plans is an integral part of project discussions, ensuring environmental compliance and client satisfaction.
How Do You Avoid Damaging Underground Utilities?
Avoiding underground utilities is paramount in excavation projects. Our preparatory work includes extensive research and coordination with utility companies, allowing them to mark the location of lines explicitly. This due diligence, combined with our expertise, significantly reduces the risk of utility damage, safeguarding both the project and property.
Is There Risk of Property Damage?
Our approach to excavation prioritizes minimizing any risk to your property. With careful planning and execution, we confine our work to designated areas, ensuring surrounding spaces are left undisturbed. Our experienced crew employs strategies to mitigate liabilities, providing clients with confidence and peace of mind throughout the process.
