REVIEWS

We were very pleased with the work that Dana and his crew did on our property recently. They updated our culvert for much needed and better water flow. They also added drainage along the top of our driveway and gave us a new gravel driveway that is ready to pave. They were friendly and easy to work with. Dana communicated with me regularly and I would highly recommend them.

I wanted you to know how much my wife and I appreciate you rearranging your schedule to manage our sump discharge situation on no notice. You and your team showed professionalism, thoroughness and made this difficult experience work even in 15 degree weather.

 Well done and thank you.

I put in a very last minute request to Dana and his team to have an area prepped for an end-of-season shed installation. Dana was very prompt and accommodating in providing a quote and in fitting my job in between a couple of their all-ready scheduled jobs. The Northern Home & Excavation team left me with an impressive product, competed in a timely manner, at a very reasonable price. Don't hesitate to hire them for your next project!

Lets see, Dana and crew show up on time, extremely courteous and kind, just like Emily Post graduates! Conscious of your time and to not waste it with idle chatter. Explain all operations in detail and to the n th degree. They are masters of their heavy machinery, they apply careful thought and utilize mathematics to end up with an amazing piece of finished product. Proof in the pudding. Absolutely no damage from the torturous storm last night!

We needed our backyard leveled and sloped. We also added loam to the yard for better soil. Dana gave us a very fair quote and is a true professional. He even gave us an excellent military discount. We would hire him again if we need anything else done. He also does French drains. Great job and made sure we were happy with the work before he left.

Great job on difficult project with several unanticipated surprises like having to dig out a massive, initially invisible, prehistoric tree stump discovered right in the middle of where a stone foundation for a 14 x 24 she? d was supposed to go. Despite its massive size Dana kept at it for two hours digging down around it almost 6 feet before it finally gave way. Very satisfied with the work. Would hire again for future projects.

This year we decided to replace our small shed. This meant tearing down the old small steel shed, down to the base on which it stood, and building out the base to accommodate the new, bigger shed. But to do this, we needed some more sonotubes, filled with cement with 4x4s put into the ground. This was not something we could do ourselves. We got in touch with Dana Kiklis of Northeast Home Repair and Excavation, who had helped us in the past. He came to our home, saw what we were trying to do, and discussed options with us. We settled on having him drill additional holes into the ground, set the sonotubes into them and fill them with cement and 4x4s. Dana arrived with all the materials, tools (including a laser level), and the drill (12 inch wide auger bit - yikes!) and did a great job getting the cement tubes installed and set up correctly. It is wonderful to have a resource like Dana Kiklis to call on for tasks that are beyond our abilities. This is especially true during a pandemic when good help is so hard to get. A big thank you, Dana Kiklis.

Dana and crew did an awesome job at my aunt's place. Dana priced this job very fairly for an elderly person and I feel did not take advantage at all. In fact, he spoke on her behalf with DOT on issues and came up with a plan to fix the issue at the least expensive way for her. Very professional, knows the business very well and hard workers. I would recommend this company !!!

Dana and his crew completed the site prep work for a 12x18 foot shed at our home. He met with us on site and provide a detailed and clear explanation of the work to be done and the underlying logic of the planned approach. He provided a detailed estimate of the work and was able to schedule the work in a timely manner. Dana and the other 3 crew members showed up as scheduled and worked diligently over a two day period to complete the work. The result is an excellent stone pad boxed in with pressure treated lumber. Dana and his high quality team are true professionals and I would strongly recommend them. Joe S.

Dana and his crew came right away with our water pipe leak underground to 18 homes - he was there quickly - gave us a decent price and fixed the problem the same day

Dana and Brenden did a great job giving me a useful backyard. I originally contacted Northern Home & Excavation to give me a foundation for a new shed and then asked if Dana could give me a level spot in the yard for an above-ground pool while he was here. In the end, I got a level backyard as well. They even redid some underground piping in need of repair. There were several roots and stumps to contend with and they successfully rid me of them. I appreciated the communication I received throughout. Dana was responsive by text and email which worked better for me than phone calls. He asked me questions and provided guidance and ideas in a friendly manner. I could tell that both he and Brenden took pride in their work. :)

Dana had the experience, equipment, and connections to get a storm water management system installed in a day. This system is crucial for us as without it we get occasional flooding in our basement. Dana understood our problem and offered several suggestions for solving it, and finally installed a system to end our basement flooding problem.

Dana is honest and keeps his promises. He solved the water issues in my basement. That was no easy feat considering the ground that he had to work on. Very wet as it was early spring.

I cant say enough about Dana and his team of daughters. They were sensitive to my budget and time frame. They dug up an old garden full of weeds and roots and replaced with new loam. They then seeded and fertilized with grass seed. I am looking forward to grass with no weeds in the spring! Then I will be able to report a true success story and give them a full 5 stars!

I hired Dana and his crew after he came out to my home and discussed a few details of what I needed done. We agreed on a price and Dana did not waste anytime and scheduled the job. Once he and his crew arrived they did not stop working for 2 days until the job was completed. I am extremely happy with the final result. I've had several people comment on the job and how solid it was. He built a nice 12 X 20 stone pad with 8X8 pressure treated wood. and filled with stone. He had to level the area and rip out some stumps. Now it's ready for the 10X18 shed which is going on the pad. Well done !!!!! Highly recommend !!!!!!

I contacted Northern Home when it was recommended to me by the shed company I'm purchasing from in order to install a base on a sloped hill. I will say that I had a bad initial experience with a guy who dumped gravel and left and was reaching the end of my frustration in getting something done. Dana came out to look at the site and was immediately warm and professional. He listened to my concerns and thoughts on the work I needed done. He also looked at what the previous company did and found a way to at least incorporate the work into his design to help me not lose the money I had already invested. He left me feeling confident and relieved. A day or two before install I actually had to tweak the dimensions of the foundation. Dana rolled with the punches, walked through everything with me the morning of, and immediately set off to work. I was very impressed with how gracious he was when I surprised him with the changes. What impressed me the most was that it rained the entire afternoon and he and his team did not let up once. They left that night with a few more hours to do the next day and we woke up to snow. Dana was on time that morning and immediately got to work and worked non-stop in mid-thirties temps until the work was done. He absolutely takes pride in his work and didn't cut any corners even in miserable weather. I've dealt with many contractors and have been burned by plenty. Northern Home is none of those things. This will be the only phone number I call with any additional project in the future. I cannot speak more highly or recommend them more strongly.

We hired Dana to excavate our site for a foundation for a new garage. He was great to work with and very responsive to questions. He was very good at communication and also helped line up other services needed for foundation work. I would definitely recommend him for any excavation needs.

Northern came out after our main water line broke, and we lost water in the house. They rearranged their schedule to be there right after the weekend, dug out the well to get access to the pipe, and helped us get our water back to our home. A lifesaver!

“Dana and crew were amazing. They came highly recommended by the folks at Reeds Ferry Sheds and they did not disappoint. They truly took care to ensure that the foundation for our 12’ x 18’ structure started with a level, square, solid foundation which will ensure that this structure will last 2 lifetimes. ( maybe 3). These guys are awesome and I would highly recommend them. Just the way they recommended to me.”
