By far the best experience I have ever had with a contractor. Dan, saved me thousands by catching a design flaw on my grading survey. If he didnt notice it, my house would have had major issues when it rains. I recommend Dan every chance I get!

Norm thank you so much for the review. I do remember that grading issue. I'm glad we were able to address it before it became a problem.

As a custom home builder in Illinois, we've worked with Danny since his early days at his fathers company, M&S Excavating. Over time, he grew into managing all of their site projects and took on additional work with our company as well. Following his fathers retirement, Danny seamlessly started his own business operations and took over all of our projects.Danny is dependable, detail oriented, and takes pride in doing the job right. From site prep to more complex excavation, everything was handled professionally and efficiently.Any area his new company Cando LLC is working in now, is lucky to have him- we wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.Jim BurdelikBurdelik Builders

I would definitely use this company again. Every person I spoke to was very professional and considerate. Always on time and efficient to get the job done. They have the customer's needs as a top priority. I couldn't be happier with the job they did for me.

I just wanted to give a big shoutout to this team for the amazing job they did with our drainage issues. Like a lot of people, we had some serious standing water problems in our yard after heavy rain, and it was getting really frustrating. They came out, took the time to really look at everything, and explained what was going on and what the best solution would be. I never felt rushed or pressured just honest advice.The crew was great to work with. They showed up when they said they would, worked hard the whole time, and kept me updated on what they were doing. What impressed me most was how much they cared about doing the job right, not just finishing quickly. When they were done, everything looked great and they cleaned up like they had never even been there.Since the install, the difference has been huge. No more water sitting in the yard after storms, which is such a relief.If youre dealing with drainage problems and want someone local who actually takes pride in their work, I highly recommend them. Great people and great work.
