12 local excavating contractors in Des Moines. Tell us how many years of experience you want, what matters most, and how close to your house, and we match you with the ones that fit. No star ratings, no paid rankings.
Checked pros are listed first; the rest rotate monthly. Nobody pays to be listed or ranked.
We don't use Google or Yelp reviews. Ratings can be bought, gamed or years out of date; a phone call and your feedback can't. More on how we check pros.
No-shows, a job left half done, a price that doubled. It happens a lot, and it's why we check excavating contractors ourselves instead of trusting star ratings. Tell us what went wrong last time, tick "let down before" on the form, and we'll only send you pros who passed our check and fit your must-haves.
Decide your must-haves first: how many years of experience, whether price or quality matters most, and how far you will let them travel. Then compare at least two written quotes using the questions on this page.
We don't use Google or Yelp star ratings. We call local businesses ourselves to confirm years in business, licensing where required, and insurance, match them to your must-haves, and ask you how the job went afterwards.
Yes. Homeowners never pay us, and businesses cannot pay to rank higher on this page.
