Excavation Is More Than Moving Soil

The Rest of the Project Depends on What Happens First
Excavation work often takes place alongside other construction activities. Poor coordination can create unnecessary delays and make the next phase of a project more difficult.
You may need professional excavation support when:

  • A construction or remodeling project requires site preparation.
  • Trenching or related earthwork is needed as part of the project.
  • Grading needs to be addressed.
  • Excavation is required to support drainage or water management work.
  • A contractor or remodeler needs additional equipment and field support.
  • Excavation needs to coordinate with other specialty construction work.

Alta Bella Casa approaches excavation with the larger project in mind, helping ensure the agreed scope supports the work that follows.

Excavation Services Built Around the Project

Every excavation project starts with different conditions. The property, access, existing structures, surrounding site, and purpose of the excavation all affect how the work should be approached.
Our team reviews the project requirements before determining how we can best support the work.

Before any digging starts, underground utilities have to be located. In New York, excavators must notify Dig Safely New York (811) at least two full working days before breaking ground, and our team is Dig Safely certified. Common residential excavation jobs include digging new egress window wells, excavating footings and foundations for additions, trenching for drain tile and downspout lines, and regrading around foundations so water flows away from the house.

Site Preparation

Excavation can be part of preparing an area for construction or other planned improvements. We evaluate the project scope and site conditions before work moves forward.

Trenching

When a construction project requires trenching as part of the agreed scope, our team can provide excavation support based on the needs of the project.

Grading & Earthwork

Grading and related earthwork can help prepare a property for subsequent construction or address how the site needs to function as part of the overall project.

Drainage-Related Excavation

Some water management projects require excavation to install or support drainage solutions. Alta Bella Casa’s broader water management capabilities allow excavation to be considered within the context of the property’s drainage needs.

Contractor & Remodeler Excavation Support

Contractors and remodelers can bring Alta Bella Casa into a project when specialized excavation support, equipment, or additional field capabilities are needed.

Excavation for Water Management Projects

Managing Water May Start With the Property Itself
Drainage problems are influenced by how water moves across and around a property. Some water management solutions require excavation or changes to the surrounding grade as part of addressing the problem.
Alta Bella Casa also provides water management solutions including:

  • French drains
  • Catch basins
  • Swales
  • Grading
  • Other drainage solutions

If drainage is the reason you’re considering excavation, our team can evaluate the broader water management problem rather than treating the excavation as an isolated task.

I have worked with Frank and his company for several years. I can say without hesitation that you can expect the best products and services with Frank and Alta Bella's JustEgress. If you're looking for an honest reputable, thorough contractor that leaves a work site cleaner than it was when they first arrived, look no further. It always amazes me of their ability to install an egress window within an 8 hour day. Being a General Contractor myself I can always count on Frank and his company to complete the work for me without even being present on the job. I plan to continue my own working relationship with them and always recommend them to anyone.

We could not be happier with the work Frank Miccoli's Alta Bella Casa's JustEgress and his team, Rob and Peyton did installing our egress window and glass block replacement windows! This was by far our best experience with any contractor. PERIOD! The team was professional, courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely neat. Frank, Rob, and Peyton kept us informed every step of the way, and answered every question we had. When they ran into an unforeseen obstacle that hindered their original design, they came up with an ingenious solution while adding negligible cost and time to the project! As for cleaning up, this crew left their work space cleaner than when they found it!! I cannot stress enough just how remarkable this entire crew was. Their respect for our home was evident in how much prep work they did to ensure a safe environment for them to work in and for my family to live in during the project. The care they took in protecting our property (both inside the house and out in the yard) can't be overstated. This was greatly appreciated!! We would definitely recommend Frank Miccoli's Alta Bella Casa's JustEgress to anyone looking to have an egress window installed. You will have an unbelievably positive experience!! You will NOT be disappointed!! - John & Terri Pretino

I cannot say enough good things about Frank and his team. The work they do is outstanding. Frank communicated every step of the project as clearly as I needed, and I would recommend this company to anyone and everyone. Two years ago, they put in an egress window for me, and I just called them back to handle a basement window drain problem. I wouldn't trust anyone else with this work!

Frank and his team have been super communicative and efficient through the whole process of adding an egress window and revamping the sump drainage. The work was done well and looks great! The soil settled pretty heavily around the window after completion and they are coming back to refill this week. Very happy with the whole process.

Had an egress window installed. Alta Bella was very professional, efficient and very high quality. Communication throughout the process was great and the task was done as they explained and we ended up with a great window with very little disruption or damage to the outside. Very highly recommended.

Despite multiple attempts to follow up on a project they undertook for me, I have yet to receive any response. I had specifically requested a follow-up after a year to ensure that the project was functioning optimally according to their standards. However, two years have passed, and I have been unable to reach them. The only communication I have received has been through automated responses or AI responses , and there has been no physical attempt to contact me at my residence. While it was relatively straightforward to provide them with payment, it has proven to be challenging to compel them to fulfill their promise of follow-up. As a result, I am compelled to write this review, expressing my dissatisfaction with the lack of communication and the failure to meet their commitments.
