I perform Custom Work that other Smaller Contractors do not or cannot perform. I consult with My Customers as to Their Need(s), then use my experience and wherewithal to accomplish Their Work. I have an extensive range of experience and skill set when it comes to Dirt Work and certain Demo Situations. If I cannot fit the Need, I have no problem telling Potential Clients that a Project is beyond My Skills or Requiring Equipment I do not have or could not Rent. I then refer to Customers to those Contractors I believe will fit Their Need if I know of them. I enjoy Working and Meeting New People and I derive Great Satisfaction in Completing Their Work.

Mike removed a wood deck, took out multiple monster bushes (roots and all) and did grading around our home. We had multiple projects going on with other contractors and he was great about working around our schedule. Mike has excellent communication skills, is very ethical and great at his job. Price was very reasonable. It was truly a pleasure working with him on our projects.

Boy did Mother Nature work against us! We needed our new build yard graded in order to gain occupancy in the middle of the wettest winter. Mike was able to get the rough grading done in January to pass an occupancy inspection and then was able to come out in April and do the full grading. He was always available by phone and responsive to calls/text messages. I felt like Mike was always trying his best to get the work done right.

Mike did a super job helping out with digging a drainage ditch (for a french drain we had to install), leveling out places where we had large tree stumps removed and digging out and disposing of old landscaping materials. He went above and beyond to make sure that the job was done safely and satisfactorily. The job was further complicated by bad weather, HUGE tree roots and a popped tire. Nothing fazed Mike!

I hired DAV Ventures to remove a large amount of dirt left behind from a pool install. He responded to the quote request quickly. I selected him to do the job and he said he would have the dirt removed within a couple days. The next day he called to confirm he could come remove it that evening. It took him four trips, but he got it all done that evening. When done, he cleaned up the yard and driveway. Overall my experience was excellent. If you need the service DAV Ventures provides, go with them. You will not regret it.

I highly recommend Mike. He knows what he is doing and solved our yard drainage issues. He is very easy to work with and takes great pride in his work. It is hard to find honest hard workers and we are extremely satisfied with the work Mike did.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do not give a quote unless I physically come and Evaluate the potential Work Site. Many times Access impacts the Work Price. I have found it is much better to talk with the Client at their Work Site and discuss their Expectations. Then there are no surprises.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I listen to my customer's need, then ask to see the area where the work is to be performed. I do not give "Blind Quotes." I meet with the Customer and listen closely to what they want, then ask related questions. I can generally give the Customer a Price Quote on the Spot. The Exceptions to that are if I have to buy materials in an area that I am not familiar.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 40 years of Experience in Construction Related Work. If I am not familiar with a task or a work practice, I know others who do know, and am not afraid to ask.
