Testimonials

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Jim Paulson Excavating. My residential project involved excavation and placement of large stone columns on a challenging hillside site—one that had deterred other contractors. Drawing on decades of experience, Paulson devised and executed to perfection a plan to get the job done—all within time and cost agreed. That the Paulson team was so friendly and easy to work with was a big bonus. I couldn’t be more satisfied!”

Tom Nicolai, Homeowner

“Jim and Company, Thanks for the great work. It was impressive to see how you use that heavy equipment like a painter uses a paint brush. Very impressive work! Thanks again for a great job.”

Brent, Homeowner

“Jim and James Paulson and their crew are the best! Our home is on a hillside and they had to excavate many different levels for our new front steps, back patio, sidewalk, planters and driveway. They did excellent work and paid close attention to the details of our drawings and excavated exactly to the specific grades as needed. In addition they coordinated well with our architect and concrete contractor in the process. They were prompt with communication both by phone and email. They were professional and very friendly to work with, even when we made changes and additions to the plans. I highly recommend them and I would use their services again without hesitation.”
