    Concrete & Excavation

    “Construction Design has been working with Chad and his team for nearly a decade now. Their attention to detail and professionalism are unmatched in the concrete and dirt work industry. We routinely ask for solutions to problems that are outside the norm and require ingenuity and critical thinking often missing from other firms we have employed. When we ask CEC to jump, they do not hesitate to ask how high. As a general contractor, that responsiveness is priceless.”

    Excavation, Flatwork & Poured Walls

    "As the owner of a fully custom residential construction company, I maintain high standards for the trades I collaborate with. With nearly three decades of experience in the industry, I have encountered a wide range of excavation, flatwork, poured walls, and similar services. However, none have come close to the exceptional quality that CEC consistently delivers. Their reliability, punctuality, and commitment to maintaining clean job sites are unparalleled. I highly recommend CEC for your next project."

    Concrete Driveway & Excavation

    "Chad and his team at Cutting Edge Construction did a new concrete driveway for us and it is beautiful. Professional in every aspect they were careful to cause minimal disruption to the grass around the driveway and brought in extra soil and leveled it along the edges of the new concrete to complete the job. Site prep was detailed and made sure that the driveway would drain properly and that the concrete was the full depth or greater throughout the job. Can't say enough good things about this company."

    Excavation, Hardscape & Concrete Flatwork

    "Cutting Edge Construction is a "Class A" operation. Chad and Team provided timely feedback and scheduling on all phases. The execution consisting of clear and concise quoting, up to and including the final Grade on my pole barn project was flawless. The quality of work on the driveway and barn site prep will ensure it lasts forever. This base was followed by excellent work on the poured cement floor, trowel finished to perfection. I defiantly recommend Cutting Edge Construction for all of your excavation, hardscape and concrete work. Thank you Chad Team, see you next summer on concrete drive!!!! Dave."

    Excavation & Concrete Flatwork

    "Cutting Edge handled the site prep and concrete for my new pole barn in 2024. The site was overgrown with brush and required extensive work to create a level area to build on. They also handled the concrete floor which is flawless! Nothing like a professionally poured floor! Their quote was easy to understand and no surprises, I highly recommend them."

Chris and his team showed up exactly as they said they would and left the site clean. The communication was top notch. The new sidewalk and garage floor repair turned out amazing! I will be using Cutting Edge for any future concrete projects without hesitation."

He excavated and remedied multiple mature trees, installed an 800 foot asphalt millings driveway and excavated/prepared a wonderful pad for my new barn.
