Dec 22, 2017 Report
I contacted Zane Brooks Excavating because of a good reference by a trusted friend who did not steer me wrong. I spoke with John who was extremely friendly and professional. When I described my needs for his services he gladly said he would assess the project and if Brooks could not do the job he would refer me to someone who could. I was shocked by this response as most companies would not care to leave you hanging if you did not earn their business.
Fortunately, Brooks Excavating was, indeed, able to complete the work needed on my driveway as we had requested. Zane and John honored their appointments
