Tusa Excavation is a residential and commercial contractor that put together the crews who will get the job done right and on your time line!
We offer a wide variety of services from the ground up. Excavation comes first then the beauty follows. Tusa Excavation is the place to start before you build. It lays the groundwork for all the other aspects of the building or landscaping project.
Also, we do installation of piping and drains. We are utilizing all types of small and large equipment, including bulldozers, 60 and 120 excavators, and 35 ex-mini.
All work is done to the exact specifications of the contract. Communication is a key factor to the success of projects, no matter how large or small, and no job is too small or too large. We give the exact attention that it deserves!
Tusa Excavation is versatile. Give Tusa Excavation your rough plans or detailed blueprints, and they will figure out with you, the best method to accomplish the required tasks at the least cost to you.
Landscapes are begun when the excavator begins to change the landscape with the first bucket of earth taken from the ground, and made into just the perfect planting mound. From dig outs to completion of projects, the excavation sets the pace of every project.
Remodeling, interior and exterior painting, installation of flooring, and all aspects of the building trade can be brought together to give you the best attention for your project. New driveways, storm drains, French drains, and all aspects of outdoor sewer and water works are completed with expert consideration and best case practice.
New houses built need to have the construction mess cleaned up, and we make the houses move-in ready! Our rates for post construction cleaning are competitive and standard at .25 a sq. ft. for residential.
Hourly rates are not generally the method employed by our business. Unless it is for the direct hire of our excavator and his machine, in which case the price is $100 per hour.
Se Habla Espanol speak with Francisco Campuzano. We are a bi-lingual company, and an equal-opportunity employer.
