“As a home owner, it can be hard to find the right contractors for your projects. You simply don’t have the everyday experience and list of contacts to call when you have an important project. So I feel blessed to have been recommended Jim Paulson Excavation by another trusted contractor I use. Jim and James where the perfect team and I highly recommend them for any of your excavation work. We used them for a fairly complicated project that involved leveling a steep driveway, building stacked boulder walls, back filling/ compacting, trenching waterlines, drainage, grading, and placing top soil. Throughout the process from quote to final inspection James and Jim where timely, thorough, and professional. Prices where fair and any scope changes where easily handled. I appreciate the great work and will certainly use Jim Paulson Excavation for all our future jobs.”
