Report
They are working at an apartment we live at. They came banging on our doors at 9am asking to move cars but didnt say where. We kindly asked them to back their truck up 2 feet so we could get in we were told no because they were pouring concrete I then blocked their truck in because it was the nearest spot to the apartment only then did they back their truck up. 2 hours go by they move their trucks but still have not poured concrete. There are people who work all shifts here and you make it a big deal to have to move 2 feet so people can get in and out. I hope nobody has an emergency because

Jerry & Roger are fun to work with. I highly recommend Kimble Excavating if you have an upcoming excavating, concrete, foundation, demolition, or driveway project. Their slogan, "No job too big or too small" rings true. They can also provide alternative solutions to the particular needs of almost any excavation project. Give them a call!

Report
We called to get some dirt removed after having a pool installed. I specifically told them what we had done and asked if that was something them could do. They said yes, but when Gerald called back, he said he wouldn't even waste his time looking at it because he would want 300-500 minimum. So much for "no job too big or too small".
