If you are acting as your own general contractor, you cannot do better for yourself than hiring Lovaz Excavating for your project and having Leo Lopez provide you his expertise. This was my first time doing a project of this size for myself. I wanted a 30'x50' metal RV garage built on a concrete slab with an 80' asphalt driveway on my 5 acre property. I contracted for surveying, engineering, geotechnical support, and worked with the county for all permitting. After selecting my metal building contractor, I called Leo's company for an estimate after seeing the many positive reviews he had on Google and Yelp. In the excavating, concrete, and asphalt areas, I had a difficult time finding single contractors that did all three areas. Besides Leo's estimate, I was able to obtain one other. Other contractors would say they worked in all three areas but upon visiting my site, they would say they just did one area but had contacts that could provide estimates in the other areas. Leo's site visit and subsequent interactions put me completely at ease. He had done his homework, deep diving the plans I had sent him. His estimate was in the ballpark of the other and he provided pictures of his other jobs that proved that he had more than enough expertise to complete my project. Over the course of my project, I came to rely upon Leo to help me overcome obstacle after obstacle due to my inexperience working across the trades and with the county. In one example, we had a conference call to talk to the engineer to determine how best to build up the ground to make it level for the slab with a mostly level driveway that would drain properly, and T'd from the original driveway. In another example, I did not find the building permit on the county's electronic system until after the concrete slab had been poured. The first geotechnical report had made "suggestions" that the county made "mandatory" in the building permit, one of which was having a geotechnical expert write an assessment after the forms were constructed and before concrete was poured. I was able to have the geotechnical engineer visit the site and inspect after the fact. Leo made himself available to answer questions and he had pictures of the rebar and forms. A positive report was developed that satisfied the county. Leo told me that he likes jobs that are my size and up to 12 homes at a time so he can be responsive to his commitments. For me, he was on site when he said he would be. The size of his crew was always right for the job at hand and no one was ever not fully engaged. If you have a major self-funded project and are looking for someone you can trust on your team, look no farther than Leo Lopez and Lovaz Excavating LLC. read more

Leo and his team were great! I had a difficult drainage issue in a stairway to a basement that flooded often and they installed a new catch bash, connected it to and excavated the dry well, and graded my backyard. they also added a top layer of concrete to my stairs and their concrete work was exceptional! They were nice, timely, fairly priced, and did an awesome job! I would hire them again and again, just amazing :-)) read more

Leo of Lovas Excavating did an amazing job in replacing the sewer main at our home from clean out to street. The company that did our "re-pipe" pierced our sewer with the main clean water pipe. He helped with photos of the damage, sewer scoping the line before during and after the replacement. His company just left and the yard is in much better shape than I expected considering how much pipe was replaced. His price was very competitive, he got the work done in a couple of days. He was respectful of us and our property. read more

I had a small concrete job to extend a walkway Leo was the only contractor who would give me a written quote, with the scope of work. His price was fair and I asked for a senior discount, which he agreed to. His crew did a professional job matching up to the existing walkway. I would highly recommend them read more

Excellent work, precise performance and reasonable price I had a very small job that needed to be completed. Leo came out to give an estimate and explained what he needed to do. When I had a question after the estimate he gave an honest opinion that the procedure in question wasn't really necessary for my project, however he did respect my concerns and did the job the way I requested. Leo and his partner were able to complete the job the following day. The were on time and precise with the work they did. Leo gave me a complete run down of the work completed and for care going forward. I also felt the price was reasonable for the job. I highly recommend Leo and his crew for any job you may be considering. read more

Leo was really easy to work with and his prices were way below the bid I got from another contractor. I needed a dry well that wasn't working, re-dug and replaced. As it was, they discovered that the drywell was fine, but the piping was totally blocked. They cleaned out and replaced piping for one downspout and then they worked on another downspout (I didn't even realize it was there.). All the pipes were clogged with dirt because the piping wasn't high enough to keep the dirt and leaves out. So they redid whatever needed replacing and built entirely new collection pipes for the downspouts. They even cleaned my gutters! I can't say enough nice things about this company. They are truly wonderful and very cost effective. read more
