What Our Clients Say

  • I recommend this team 100%. They know what they're doing, and they do it right! Scott, Codi, and Whit treated my property like it was their own, provided great advice, and helped me out of some dicey situations. They're like family at this point!

    Michele Samuels

  • We had Cody and team level out an area of the backyard to make way for a soccer pitch/hockey rink. They did a 5 star job and are very pleasant people to deal with. 100% recommended!

    Pernille Jensen

  • We utilized CD for a lakeshore conservation project and we were impressed with them from start to finish. They were able to secure the required permits through the proper agencies in a timely manner. They have a keen eye for details and addressed any and all questions. Throughout the project, the area was kept clean and orderly. They were transparent with costs and kept open communication. The neighboring property owners have complemented the end results and have thanked us for improving the aesthetics of the area. This company takes pride in what they do and are dedicated to delivering quality. Highly recommend this company!

    Sharon Velasco

  • Codi and Scott and crew at CD Contracting and Excavation are super guys! For the past year, they have been working with me on a new lakehouse build and besides the grading, demolition and foundation they have taken care of all of my outside needs from shoreline restoration, to retaining walls, to docks, fences and much more. Their work is stellar. They are reliable, honest, hardworking and very skilled. And not only that, their creative input regarding design has been invaluable. Since all of their work is outstanding, it’s hard to choose my favourite detail but I have to say the jumbo granite patio they put in for me is uniquely magnificent . I feel very fortunate to have connected with this excellent company and value the relationship that has developed. I have certainly gotten to know them very well over this past year and really can’t sing their praises enough. I look forward to continuing to work with them in the coming months and recommend their services highly.
