Common Questions About Our Excavation Services
What size properties do you work on?
We handle residential properties from small lots to multi-acre sites, plus commercial projects and builder site preparation. If it’s excavation work in Marquette County or the surrounding U.P., we can help. Our equipment rental model lets us scale to different project sizes without maintaining overhead costs that get passed to customers.
How quickly can you start a project?
Depends on the season and our current schedule, but we’ll give you a straight answer when we talk. U.P. weather plays a role – frozen ground and heavy snow affect timing. We don’t guess or string you along. You’ll know what’s realistic before you commit.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. We’ll go over payment terms when we discuss your project and provide an estimate. Equipment rental, material costs, and project scheduling all factor into the deposit structure. Everything gets explained upfront so there’s no confusion later.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Cornerstone Property Services is fully licensed and insured for all excavation work we perform across the Upper Peninsula. You’ll work directly with Lee Poole, the owner-operator, which means clear accountability on every project from start to finish.
Do you handle emergency excavation work?
We handle urgent drainage issues and emergency excavation needs when possible. Foundation flooding and water damage don’t wait for convenient scheduling. Call us and we’ll let you know what we can do and how quickly we can get to it.
Do you subcontract the work?
No. Lee Poole runs Cornerstone Property Services and manages every project directly. You work with the owner from estimate through completion. No middleman, no communication gaps, no wondering who’s actually doing the work on your property.
