It's hard to decide on this review.
They fulfill their contracts, and as a company they go all out to improve their capacity to meet new jobs, but their drivers are really bad and their manners are even worse.
Any time we see a Gerke truck, we always give it a lot of room because they are just plain dangerous on the roads.
If we are at a store and one of their drivers comes in, we avoid him because they all have foul mouths and rude manners.
I only have secondhand experience with their work, and as I said, I'm told they fulfill their contracts, but their face in the community is just

They had to redo my sidewalk because they poured it so it had a pooling area right at the edge of the steps. Second time it was still not done correctly, still uneven and still unsafe. They left the sides of my approach extremely uneven and during work on both items left trash all over.

I needed an emergency excavation. I had a burst water pipe leaking water onto the neighbor's property. They were out there early the very next day with with plenty of resources to take care of the problem. They are quick, capable and I found the bill quite reasonable for what they had to do. I would use them again.

I was traveling on Highway 82 in Oxford, WI and a Gerke Excavating, Inc. vehicle was in front of me and showered my vehicle with gravel, resulting in a broken windshield.
When I contacted the company's safety department to inform them, I was met with rudeness and refusal to take partial responsibility for the damage.

Traveling South of La Crosse on Hwy 35, truck number 39 pulled out in front of me and caused me to slam on my breaks and my groceries went everywhere!! He was pulled into the median and shrugged his shoulders like, oopsy. How about you don’t pull into 55 mph traffic! Also, called to leave a message for the safety coordinator and was shortly cut off.

There was an incident with one of their trucks (recklessly driving on the the road and huge rocks falling off the truck at 70 mph!). They never responded. Ronda, the director of risk management, said that she called back every person who had damage or complaints she would never get out of the office! Wow, if that isn’t alarming, I don’t know what is. PLEASE TO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY THAT DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE PUBLIC SAFETY! THIS COMPANY IS S DISGRACE! If this is how they treat people, good luck with them standing by their work.

You have not done work for us but I wanted to relate something to you. We are up from the Kansas City area and are staying in Lake Delton for a few days. Your company is working over on Alcan Drive widening the road and doing other work. We had no idea your guys would be here so obviously we were a little caught off guard with the early hours and work being done. From the minute we pulled up Wednesday afternoon and through Friday afternoon when they quit for the weekend your guys were nothing but accommodating, courteous and polite to us. They informed us of all their plans for the week, they worked
