Services
Structural Moving
Specialized structural moving services using remote-controlled power units designed for Nantucket's narrow roads. We handle onsite moves, over-the-road transportation, and building lifts for foundation replacements. Our process separates structures from existing foundations, raises them using beam networks, and installs new foundations while maintaining structural integrity.
ICF Foundations
Energy-efficient foundation solutions using NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF). These systems provide 60% energy savings through superior insulation while offering environmental benefits. Ideal for new construction or foundation replacements, our ICF installations combine durability with modern building technology for long-lasting residential and commercial structures.
Excavation
Full-service excavation for foundations, septic systems, and utility trenches. We perform foundation waterproofing, sewer connections, backfilling, and horizontal boring using specialized equipment for challenging terrain. Our expertise includes sono tube installations and preparing sites for both residential and commercial construction projects.
Septic Systems
Complete septic system services including installations, repairs, and expansions. We handle all aspects of septic work from tank placement to trench field development using appropriate equipment for Nantucket's specific soil conditions. Our team ensures proper functionality and compliance with local regulations for residential and commercial properties.
Concrete Pouring
Professional concrete pouring services for foundations, slabs, and structural elements. We utilize pump trucks for hard-to-reach areas and mix materials on-site to ensure proper consistency. Our capabilities include pouring walls, window wells, piers, and pads using both traditional forms and modern ICF systems for various construction applications.
