“
“Jessie Barrie of Bear Excavating just completed the installation of a 200 foot long septic mound at our property in Millarville. Throughout the process we were impressed with Jessie both as a person of integrity and as a skilled tradesman. From the first visit to the property he seemed to have a vision of the best way to accomplish the job and during the install was able to think on his feet and add beneficial aspects to the acreage as a whole. He took ownership and great pride in his work. His employee, Will, was impressive as well, again both in his skills and in his desire to do the best possible job.”
