“We had the opportunity to partner with Shenk Excavation on a recent lighting installation project, and their work was outstanding. Their trenching was extremely clean, accurate, and completed efficiently without cutting any corners. Their communication throughout the process made coordination easy and kept the project moving smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend Shenk Excavation for any excavation needs — professional, reliable, and great to work with.”

“We had a great experience with Shenk Excavation. Our 900-foot gravel driveway had become badly rutted and deteriorated from heavy use. Mikey Shenk came up with a cost-effective solution using asphalt millings that gave us exactly the result we were looking for without breaking the bank.

Mikey was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout the project. He worked quickly and efficiently, completing the entire job in just about 10 hours on-site. The finished driveway looks great and is a huge improvement.

Just as importantly, Mikey stands behind his work and takes pride in making sure the job is done right. We’re very happy with the result and would definitely recommend Shenk Excavation to anyone looking for quality work at a reasonable price.”

“After a severe storm, I ended up with a large tree which fell partially on my roof and directly sandwiched between my house and my neighbors. I also had several trees, branches and limbs all through my yard. I called Shenk Excavation LLC for help and was the best call I could have made. He responded quickly and removed all fallen trees and debris and cleaned up my mess. He took the time to temporarily patch my roof until the insurance inspector could come. He also cleared many neighbors after storm damage. Very respectful, responsible company. Excellent service.”

“Amazing guys! They did great work on our addition and didn’t leave a mess! We are going to use them again on a large garage build next year and would recommend them to anyone. After a long day, they also offered to bring us 300 gal of water to pour down our well when we thought it ran dry. Thankfully it was just a water softener issue. :)”
