We have worked with Bob and Chris for many years doing electrical underground for large commercial projects. Their prices are competitive, service is above and beyond what the competitors offer. The latest project was a 100,000sf single story school. We installed 29,000 feet of conduit underground for power and systems. There were many scheduling issues with other trades and weather that delayed and changed the flow of the job. Chris was always able to work with us to make sure that we were always done with our work ahead of schedule and with the best quality out there. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional and trustworthy. As a plus, they are a joy to work with because of their upbeat and positive nature. I would highly recommend them for your project, no matter what the size. Looking forward to the next project. Thanks guys.

While digging for the installation of the underground secondary, your backhoe operator became suspicious. He had seen some communication locate markings elsewhere on the project but was unable to tell where they went. Excavation was stopped and Base Locate was contacted.

It was discovered that there were two conduits buried mere feet from where the excavation was proceeding with fiber optic communication cables routed in them. The conscientious actions on the part of your field personnel are the only reason a major disater was averted. Thank you.

In reference to Bob Ames Excavating Inc., they are not only dependable, but very safety oriented and on task at all times. They are affordable and very easy to work with.

They have completed many projects with us including underground on Ft. Carson and currently at the Vestas project site in Pueblo where we have installed 40 miles of PVC. All underground inspections and compaction tests were completed and they passed.

Because of their diligence and work ethics, I wouldn’t hesitate to take them to any job in need of excavation no matter how big or small the job may be.

I would recommend Bob Ames Excavating Inc. for any utility installation or general construction projects. I recently worked with them on a sewer line and site prep project for the Town of Estes Park. They installed 1,500 linear feet of sanitary sewer and site prep for a mulit million dollar multi-use building at the fairgrounds.

The project was very challenging due to continuous plan changes and delays by the design engineer as well as unexpected ground water thru a protion of the project. Bob Ames Excavating Inc. was veery professional working through all the unexpected. They were also very fair on negotiations of change orders due to improper design. They did very good work in the field and their administravie staff was very organized and quick to respond to any of my requests.

I have over 24 years of construction management experience; working with Bob Ames Excavating Inc. on this project was very easy as they demonstrated utility and general construction expertise. I highly recommend them.

Wonderful, professional, and friendly. Arrived on time and worked until job competed, a day later than planned when they hit sandstone. They cleaned up the site and even took away some branches and smoothed out the ruts made by the dump trucks and the other equipment.
