“I have now hired Jesse Berry of Bear Excavating multiple times since my original contact with him about 4 years ago regarding our acreage development. Upon first meeting Jesse, I was so impressed with his willingness to listen to me in terms of my vision for our 3 acres. The strong impression only increased when he began to further expand and greatly improve my vision. Not only did Jesse have some amazing thoughts and ideas but the professionalism used to implement them was what was truly inspiring! Jesse and his team had a very well executed plan and delivered on all levels. Bear excavating surpassed all my expectations and came in right on budget. He truly is a man of his word, moving through his work with great integrity and a strong depth of knowledge. Jesse has not only earned my business in everything excavation related but I now count him as a great friend! Thank you Jesse and team for all you do!”
