He answers his own phone and comes out to look at the job himself. Estimates are free and on site.
Are estimates really free?
Yes, and they happen on site. Justin comes to the property, walks the job with you and gives you a fixed number before anything starts.
How far will you travel?
Tulsa and the towns around it, out through Rogers, Creek, Wagoner, Osage and Okmulgee counties. Whether a job further out makes sense depends on how big it is, so it is worth asking.
Do you take small jobs?
Yes. A half day of machine work is a normal job here. A lot of larger outfits will not quote one, which is why people end up calling.
Do you call in utility locates?
Always, before anything gets dug. Oklahoma811 is free and it is the law.
Do you do forestry mulching?
No. Justin clears with a machine and a bucket. If mulching is genuinely what a job needs, he will tell you that rather than sell you something else.
Do you pour concrete or asphalt?
No. This is dirt work: digging, grading, base and gravel. Concrete and asphalt are somebody else’s trade.
What does a job cost?
It depends on access, ground conditions and how much material has to move, which is exactly why the estimate happens on the property instead of over the phone.
How soon can you start?
It depends on what is already booked and on the weather, because wet ground stops dirt work. He will give you a straight answer on timing when he quotes it.
