We can't say enough good things about this company. This was our first 'big' project and of all the trades and companies we were involved with, VBS was at the top of the list for quality of work and professionalism. Jared, Rod and crew were always on time and kept us in the loop on where things were at. Highly recommend!!

This letter is directed at Valley bobcat Excavating , the Owner Rod Mc Comb and his crew. We at Athens Creek Towers have been struggling with water infiltration for the past 3 years, and finally started work on mitigating this issue. We where introduced to VBS thru another company, and found that they had the experience we where looking for . Since our first job was done it became obvious to us that this family operated company was the right choice for us .
Rod came in with his crew on the scheduled time frame started work as promised ,and did not stop until it was done
We had the pleasure
