Excellent company that needs to be hired! Soper Construction installed a new, modern-technology septic tank in our backyard after several other companies failed to respond or said they couldn't provide the services needed. Stephen was always available to personally review the project and any concerns we had, and would personally arrive to inspect things or if we had concerns at a moments notice, no matter what day of the week. His crew worked diligently to install the tank and cleaned everything up with great care when they were done. They did an outstanding job and highly recommend them.

Stephen and his crew did the excavation and foundation work for an addition we were building. Great experience working with them. From the initial phone call through the final phase they were professional, on time and kept us up to date on what would be happening when. He returned our initial phone call quickly and came out and gave us a more than reasonable quote. Work started when they said it would. Job was done on schedule and on budget. Work site was kept clean and the grading and seeding they did left it looking better than the rest of our yard. Would recommend them and would use them again

I called Soper Construction after another contractor we had used in the past failed to return multiple calls. Steve Soper returned my call the same day, scheduled a visit to review the job the same day, and had a crew on site quickly as promised to replace a 90 year old drain pipe that had failed in multiple locations. All completed in one day and put back together including grass seeding. I've found my new contractor for all future similar jobs.
