OUR REVIEWS

★★★★★

Josh got us a fair bid right away, and stuck to it. He showed up on the day he said and on time and stayed with us until we were completely happy. Now that we have a vision from what what’s been accomplished with our land clearing we will be having JP Sitework come back for the rest of our dirtwork for our new build for sure. Recommend 100%.


-Catherine

★★★★★

Do not hesitate to hire J.P. Siteworks for your next project, Josh is a true professional. He installed a 3 bedroom mound septic system, trenched a water line, and built up a pad for a garage in time and within budget. Josh went above and beyond what we discussed during the planning phase of the project, including installing a driveway on short notice which was not in the original plan.


-Brad Dunn

★★★★★

Josh did a perfect job on my son’s septic system for his new home. Very skilled in his trade. Also Josh is a pleasant person to communicate with.

Thanks again Josh! Doug and Paula


-Doug Bitzan

★★★★★

I found JP Site Work through a Facebook post, and I'm so glad I did. I was in need of a new septic mound and had called about 6 different septic installers. Not one of them called me back. When I contacted Josh, he was out the next day to look over the site and I had an estimate in hand within hours, I couldn't believe it. His pricing was fair, and his work is impeccable. He is without a doubt the nicest excavator I've ever worked with.


Looking forward to doing more business in the future, I'm glad our paths crossed!


-Chad Behling

Josh from JP Sitework was great to deal with. He showed up on the day he said he would be there and finished our septic in just few days. Very good quality work and great to deal with.

Will definitely will use again for our next project.


-Paul Sutherland

★★★★★

Josh with J.P. Sitework removed my old, noncomplaint septic system and designed and installed a new septic system, work that included the cutting of trees to make room for the new system. The placement of the new system was challenging based of the configuration of my lot, but he made it all work.


The work was done quickly and professionally, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Josh. I highly recommend him if you need septic work done.

I have had a hell of a time trying to get people to come out and even return my calls for service, I found JP Sitework on the net and gave them a call and he immediately responded and kept correspondence with me until he showed up on a thursday.

Fast responses to inquiries and exceptional communication. I had all my questions answered.

“ALONE WE CAN DO SO LITTLE, TOGETHER WE CAN DO SO MUCH”

Helen Keller, American Author, Political Activist, and Lecturer


We believe that, above all else, the power of teamwork and collaboration is the key to success. At J.P. SITEWORK, we understand the importance of working together to achieve remarkable results in the construction industry. Our motto, “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much” is often attributed to Helen Keller, an American author, political activist, and lecturer who was the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. This quote encapsulates the idea that when people come together and work collaboratively, they can achieve much more than they could individually.
