Promise after broken promise of starting the job week after week. Excuses of forgetting and then loosing our email with the scope of work to be completed. Gave him so many chances and in the end still screwed the project over and has never shown up. Wasted everyones time. Would never recommend Troy.

T Rex excavation did a tremendous and impressive job for my father, its been a long journey to get to actual construction and Troy and son team did an amazing job for us, a joy to watch a great operator on a big machine do magic!, this project has been difficult through the processes of city permitting and demolishion....and a small job in Its scope just removing 2 small out buildings in a residential lot. Troy made time and got the job done, seamlessly, ahead of schedule and on point affordable not inflated pricing in urgency. I wholeheartedly recommend T-Rex.
