What Happens After You Request a Free Estimate

Sending an estimate request is the first step. Here is what generally happens next, and what you can do to help the process along. Every project is different, so if your timeline is tight, say so up front.

We review what you sent

Your request comes to our office in Cranford. We look at the location, the type of work, and anything you attached: plans, photos, reports. The clearer the request, the faster this step goes; our guide on what to include in an estimate request covers the details that help most.

We reach out with questions

Most projects raise a few questions: access, timing, what is underground, what the area has to be ready for afterwards. Expect a call or email from our team at the contact details you gave us.

A look at the site where needed

Some jobs can be estimated from plans and photos. Others need someone to see the site, especially excavation near existing utilities, structural masonry repairs, or utility work in a busy street.

Your estimate

Estimates are free. Once you have one, ask about anything that is unclear: what is included, how changes in conditions are handled, and how the work will be scheduled.

Moving forward

When you decide to go ahead, we plan the schedule, crews and equipment for your project. For public projects, that planning follows the agency's specifications and procedures.

If it becomes urgent

If the situation turns into an emergency while you are waiting, such as a leak, a backup or structural movement, call (908) 276-1347 right away. That line is answered for emergencies 24/7.
