Reviews of local pros in Edwardsville, Illinois

Mark was courteous, prompt and very professional and very reasonable.

Fast, fair, honest and hard working. They came out same day and started and completed job the very next day. Highly recommend. Thanks again.

Went above and beyond for my parents replacing an outdoor waterline that was hard to locate. Definitely went the extra mile with a difficult situation. Would highly recommend!

"Me and my husband have used Mark for various excavation projects and I would recommend him to anyone who needs sewer and water line replacement. We call him anytime we need something because we know he will fix it right."

They were timely with their estimate. Showed up on time. Did the work professionally. Fair price. Would recommend them to everybody!

Mark installed a completely new sewer line for me and did a great job! I would recommend him to anyone.

Mark did great job on extending my driveway putting in a new covert widening my driveway so I could get a Storage building on it. Thumbs up to him. Good job.

Called Saturday evening with a bursted water line, Mark was very helpful and showed up to evaluate the problem. Came out on Sunday for an emergency repair and took care of me. Highly recommend

I have purchased several project properties in the Bethalto and Alton areas. On more than one occasion I have needed sewer line repairs, water lines replaced, and excavation work. Barley Excavating is who I call every time because he is quick to get there and I know he knows what he is doing. His repairs are always done the right way and I can always count on him to be on time and on budget. Highly recommend.

I’ve used Barley Excavating more than once for sewer line and water line repairs in the Edwardsville area but the most recent being on my own home remodel we did in Brighton, IL.
He’s does great work and I can always count on him to do the repairs correctly and quickly. I would recommend to anyone who needs affordable sewer and water line repair in the metro area!

We own a business in Edwardsville, IL that had sewer line issues and we found out that both sewer and water lines needed dug up and replaced. We were worried what the cost was going to be because we had heard nightmares, but it wasn’t near as bad as we thought. I think he offers financing too, which we didn’t opt for but I thought that was nice that he did. He was quick to get his equipment to our property and quick to get it dug and replaced. I think our water was only off for 4 hours. He also explained it all to us and personally showed us where the problem was. I hope we don’t have to replace a sewer line again but if we do this will be who we call. Highly recommend him.

I requested a quote and was met with a speedy response that led to a visit and a quote the very next day. Mark was able to complete the job that very same week, and at a fair and affordable price. I was very happy with the service, and I wish I would have called Mark first.

I had a huge issue with a tree that grew around my water meter and pushed it sideways causing main water line to leak. The tree had to go. No one would touch it because even if you cut tree down you still have to get trunk and roots off so they could get 4 foot underground to set new meter and pull a new water line and 7 utilities ran through by front yard, 18 inches on one side fiber optics AT&T and 18 on front was main subdivision electric line only 20 inches deep. So digging out the whole stump was impossible.. Mark came up with what seemed like a bizarre idea, since ground was saturated with water maybe we could push 80 foot tree over and stump would uproot and pull free of meter. It worked he pushed the tree down and we could get new meter pull new waterline without having to dig overall the utilities. The rest of job with new valve inside basement and new line without digging up rest of yard was done in 4 hours. It was done quickly and for a fraction of costs of other contractors. I have used Mark for several jobs over the years and he is timely, affordable and extremely talented operating his machinery, I would recommend him to anyone.

Found the perfect gift for a friend, wonderfully healthy, fully leafed out Peace Lily and gorgeous ceramic pot in a moment's time.

The employees can almost always answer my many questions and have even helped me keep from screwing up a project by sharing their knowledge. I've been going here for years and will continue to go here for all my home repair and garden needs and anything else I might need for my home.

Best deals on plants compared to Lowes. Less expensive and great selection
