Excavating Contractor reviews in Puyallup, Washington

During a historic atmospheric river event affecting the Puget Sound region, we had a drainage issue escalate very quickly and become an active flooding situation.

I called Frank that morning and, despite the weather conditions and widespread issues across the area, he responded immediately and had Keely on site within the hour. At the time, the pipe was actively flooding and a mitigation crew was already inside extracting water while the exterior stairwell continued to fill.

Keely assessed the situation right away, excavated the affected section, cut and capped the line, and stopped the incoming water before the next wave of heavy rain hit.

The speed, professionalism, and problem-solving shown in a very stressful situation were outstanding. We’re extremely grateful for the response and would absolutely recommend them.

Joe from FTS installed a beautiful fresh gravel driveway. It was very needed because I have friends with walkers and my driveway was soft and difficult for them to navigate before. But now it’s new and well compacted, which makes it easy for them to visit. I highly recommend.

Frank came on time, did what was needed and it looks great now. My ramp had a concrete landing that covered the access to my septic tank by about 1 foot. He cut the concrete and it looks like it was made that way to start with. If I could, I would give him 10 stars!
Thanks Frank! 👍

FTS was excellent to work with! We had unknown water issues expose themselves during the last big storm. They came out quickly, assessed and explained what was needed, and were able to get the job done quickly and within the timeline they projected. I thought the quote was fair price wise and they will be who we call for further backyard work if ever we need work done again.

Frank and his team have been an absolute godsend. We had 5 ft of standing water in our yard from run off and poor drainage (clay). We had several companies out for estimates but FTS were the only ones with the experience and the skill for this level of project. They even coordinated with the plumbers working in the crawlspace for a combined interior and exterior solution. They stuck to the estimate and timeline, and gave us a very fair price, especially considering the difficulty. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

After initial contact with FtS, someone came to our home to talk through our project. We needed a drainage system installed and concrete laid on the side of the house. We were given suggestions and options when possible as the project was planned. Our many questions were answered clearly. We received an estimate of the costs soon after. We received substantial information about what the project entailed and about timelines for completing the work. All employees were respectful of our property and the work was completed effectively and in a timely manner. The completed work was excellent.

From the time we contacted Franky's we have been impressed. He met me on a Sunday, provided written estimates and worked with us on our budget, communicated clearly and quickly, scheduled the work, and completed it expertly on the day and time he said. We would definitely use his services again. Many thanks!

If you have any type of excavation work needing done I highly recommend Franky’s Excavation! Very responsive and professional! They do what they say they’re going to do and when they say they’ll do it. Went above and beyond on our project. Will definitely retain them for another project this spring. Great people to work with and their rates were very reasonable!

We were very pleased with the work that Franky’s Excavation did for us. He and his crew arrived as scheduled, were eager to get started and carefully removed large slabs of concrete from our old broken patio. They worked through access issues and some other unexpected issues. And, completed the job in a timely manner and left the worksite in great shape. Franky’s gets our recommendation!

Franky removed the old gravel in my driveway, regraded and added new gravel. He did a wonderful job. He is very trustworthy. I highly recommend him.

Frank removed aging, cracked and shifting concrete from out third driveway and from a patio area on the side of our home. Frank was friendly and professional. He got the work done in one day including light grading work to ensure runoff was headed away from the house. I would recommend his services.

They did a great job. Fast and efficient! Would hire again for future jobs. Thanks again Franky!

He came out right away and understood my timeline and budget. He worked quickly and did an amazing job with a project that I was overwhelmed with. He was extremely communicative and clear and I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Came out next-day and did a great job with a short amount of time! Very professional, communicative and fast!

I had a great experience working with Franky’s. I had done some yard work of my own and needed a professional to haul away about 35-40 yards of material for me. Franky’s was able to do the work within a week and took all the material in less than 6 hours. This is a family operation and it was good to learn about the family and feel good about hiring them. I was able to get a steep discount due to being in the off-season and am really glad, I hired such an honest and hardworking company, to handle this for me. I will definitely use again for future projects.

Franky's Excavation is very professional and did an excellent job with our neighborhood trail gravel project. Would highly recommend for any dirt work or other exterior projects.

Franky's came out to view our project and quickly gave us an estimate/quote. The quote and professionalism was amazing so we had additional work done on another piece of property! Our neighbors hired Franky's too! He was on time, kept on schedule and made sure everything was cleaned up. We have other projects in the future and will reach out to Franky's again....

Hired Franky to clear and level plot and lay down gravel to expand my existing driveway. Had to remove an extremely large stump with huge tap root and several large extending roots. He was professional, prompt, courteous, and fair in his pricing. The completed job is excellent and would highly recommend him to anyone needing excavation, clearing and driveway gravel or asphalt.

I had Franky’s prep a paver patio site, the work was done quickly and with great care not to damage our home or a tree that was close by. Very good work, I would absolutely hire them again and will recommend to anyone.

Had a really good experience with this company.
Offered a very fair bid and did all the work quickly and exactly as requested. Tore down a shed and removed asphalt. Even hauled some extra junk for free. I would definitely use them for future work.

I am managing a new construction project and needed a detached garage to be demolished. Franky's handled everything! Very punctual, was communicative during the process start to finish, and did excellent and clean work. His price was a great value for the professionalism and quality of the work. Looking forward to hiring them again for other phases of my project and would wholeheartedly recommend them!
