Testimonials Report

In 2018 Keith constructed a wonderful pad in a difficult location for our pole building. However, in 2020, health issues created the need to sell and move to a different location. We had an auction sale in mid July on our back lot. With heavy rain forecasted we were nervous about the approach to the auction site being muddy and greasy.

Keith Drewes Excavating committed to a job in the spring then when questioned about timeframe in July he says he has no openings, making it that much more difficult to find someone to do the site prep work in time.

Keith expertly excavated and graded the building pad for my 26' X 32' garage. Keith came to do the work soon after I called and worked diligently until the job was done. He is a pleasure to work with.

Kieth Drewes Excavating Company recently completed a house demolition for me. From our first meeting through to final site cleanup, everything went smoothly. His price was well below the quote of another contractor.

I may be a little biased, but I am writing this on behalf of my family. Keith does awesome work. He created a pond for wildlife on our property where only a few weeds existed. He developed our 10 acres from nothing to a working and living area. Attached are some photos of his beautiful work.

Keith just completed a pad for my pole building. It was in what I thought was a difficult location. It was on a slope with lots of aspen and decaying red oak trees. Keith said, “no problem.” I was amazed watching him with the large equipment and his brother Deon on the transit. Not only do I now have a beautiful site for the building, but Keith and Deon are absolutely wonderful people to work with. Thank you!
