Old-Fashioned Testimonials

Here is an unsolicited letter of recommendation I received along with my cheque for the work in October 2023:

And here are some more from over past 9 years in business…

“Joe and Shane from Sentinel Excavating installed a replacement septic system for us in April of this year (2019).  They were honest, efficient and professional and we felt their rates were very reasonable.  We would definitely use their services again if the need ever arises.” Harvey Boyes. (2019.)

“The installation of our complex septic system demanded precise scheduling to complete within a two week window with a rigid start date. The site had difficult access which required great consideration for the neighbors and the logistics of the work. Sentinel Excavating delivered on every aspect. Joe and his team were customer focused from start to finish while providing an excellent product and daily communications regarding budget and schedule. I have no hesitation recommending Sentinel to their future clients.”  Mark D. (2019)

“Joe’s work was top notch but it was his professionalism and punctuality that sets him apart. He was always where he said he would be, when he said he’d be there, and got the job done when he said he would. Daily updates on the cost also ensured there would be no surprises.” Phil M. (2019)

“Joe installed a septic system for me in May 2018. He did a superb job at a very good price. I appreciated his workmanship. Honest, reliable and he listens to you.  I remember, l was so happy with everything that l phoned him 2 weeks later and said ‘You are the best!’”  Yvette M. (2018)

“Joe, there are rare pleasures in life that measure up to doing business with someone like you! A person in business who is a real caring and engaging human being, a person who loves what they do and understands fairness and accomplishing a high standard of excellent in their product. Your septic work, excavation of ditches and landscaping is the “first touch” when developing land. I so appreciated every aspect of the integrity you put into your work in stewardship of the land, maintaining relationships as well as excellent service.  Beautifying after excavating is something of a gift you leave in the wake of what you do, thank you. Thank you for leaving that imprint forever on the half acre I will love for many years to come.” Beth P. (2018)

To anyone thinking about contracting Joe and the Sentinel crew let us assure you that is the right decision. Joe et al have done a number of jobs for us from a tricky extensive perimeter drain to burying a new electrical service and creating a new septic field. Every job was done well, efficiently and cleaned up after. You will make no mistake in contracting Sentinel.” Doug Baxter and Ed Leochler (2018.)
