Upon attempting to sell my childhood home, I discovered that my father had buried the old oil tank in the front yard. Unfortunately, there was still a large amount of oil in the tank and, over the decades, it leaked into the yard and under the house. Marksmen literally came to our rescue and took care of this tremendous excavation project from start to finish. Glen and Dave did all the heavy lifting from the tank removal to raising the house and removing the contamination, to rebuilding a portion of the foundation and putting the house back together again. We could not have done without their experience and expertise. Liz Cecere, our project manager, was our go to girl! Liz was on top of every single detail from start to finish! Not only was she in constant communication with me as to the progress of the work (the project lasted more than 6 months) but she also worked closely with the engineers, contractors, soil labs, insurance company, property restoration team, local and state government offices as well as the DEP. Liz was organized, efficient, prompt and so very kind through the entire arduous process! Marksmen even met with the new owners once the house was sold to explain exactly what had been accomplished. A shout out to Amy and Debbie in the office who were always very pleasant and prompt with paperwork and documents. I cannot recommend the Marksmen team enough! As unusual and difficult as the entire process was, the professional team at Marksmen was there for us every step of the way. read more

We also put off removing an old oil tank from our basement due to the mess and hassle. These guys are the BEST!!! They arrived on time and performed their work neatly, quietly, politely, and efficiently. The price charged was the price that was estimated. No surprises. No mistakes. No hassles, and THEY DIDN'T SPILL A DROP. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

Very professional!! Did an excellent job, left the site like it was.

I regret using Marksmen. I contracted this outfit to remove my oil tank. I received few quotes from various companies and decided to go with Marksmen because they were the cheapest. They come on site and said they will need to dig the tank by hand since I had gas lines near by and paver stone walkway on the other side of the tank. I agreed to the approach and sent them a deposit. On the date of the removal they came onsite at 8:30 am. They were quickly removed and destroyed my Japanese Maple worth $2,000 and removed several pavers stones from the walkway. They completely lied about how they were going to take care of this job. They used a Backhoes to remove the Japanese Maple instead of digging it out by hand as promised. Leasson learned is if you go with these guys, you need to get everything in writing. I also learned from the town that I'm not supposed to pay these guys other then the deposit. Payment is made after the permit is satisfied with the town. Marksmen had pay a deposit of 50% and on the day of the removal before they got started, they had me pay 30% of the remaining balance. Once I received the bill I saw extra charges that amounted to 800 as the remaining balance. The other quotes did include many of these charges now that see what transpired. Marksmen does this as part of there core business functions and should be more transparent with customers based on experience. Like most oil tanks require the Vac truck to clean out sludge. They give 30 gallons included in the price. What they fail to disclose is most like you'll have in the excess of 100 gallons. The big ticket item was the Vac Truck fee of 420 on top of the sludge removal. They never disclosed that fee in the quote. The other vendors provided a more comprehensive approach. I didn't realize that there would be significant addional fees with Marksmen compared to the others folks. I would recommend going with a firm that provides a comprehensive removal process that includes many of these hidden items. Do not go with the lowest cost firm as they will not include all of these items and thus tricking customers into get the work based on the low introductory fee. They will then increase the price based on the circumstances that will have and they are free from guilt because it's the circumstance that you have. I have filled a complaint with the better business bureau BBB.org due to the destruction and repair cost that I had to cover. They ruined my lawn and they removed my paver stones which had to be reset. I had to get topsoil delivered too. My lawn service had to fix the lawn. Don't trust the image on their website where it shows that they play down large boards for the backhoe. That was false advertising. I do not recommend these guys and honestly would advise you to go with other quotes. They made no effort to make it right. read more

We put off having our oil tank removed for years because of the hassle. We are so happy we found Marksmen. Debbie in the office was great. She sent us several quotes, and a gentleman even came to our house to explain the different options. Debbie scheduled us and kept us informed every step of the way. They installed our new, indoor oil tank in one day, and transferred our oil. The next day, they removed our old tank and waited for the inspector to come. The gentleman from Marksmen kept me informed as everything was happening. There were no hidden costs, we paid what we were quoted. After the job was done, we received all the pertinent paperwork. I highly recommend Marksmen! read more

We have been delaying the above ground tank installation and underground oil tank removal process for a long time because other contractors we have been talking to didn't give us a clear path to follow. Finally, I have called most of the contractors approved by ProGuard (our tank insurance company) and Marksmen Enterprises gave me the best estimate. Debbie and Julie were always there whether I called or emailed. They took care of permits, no parking signs, etc. They were always very prompt in responding to my questions. Jeff installed the new above ground tank and he was here promptly, he was quick and thorough. He is a very respectful, prompt, knowledgeable, and genteel person. The next day the crew came in for the underground tank removal and I couldn't have been happier with them. The underground tank was situated very close to the deck and very close to the driveway. We were worried that while working with cranes and a big old tank, something would get damaged. We were very pleasantly surprised how these young guys work in sync with each other and operate the crane as easily as working with a shovel. They were very comfortable with their machinery and very professional. They got out of the whole mass in a few hours and left the place as they found. It is a nasty job to go in the tank and remove the slush but they were so quick and professional that everything seemed easy. We appreciate all their hard work and we're very happy that we finally got rid of the old underground tank. Thank you, Marksmen Enterprises, for making this nightmare of a process a much easier experience. read more

Marksmen were GREAT..starting with Debbie in the office, she scheduled everything, got the permits and inspection done quickly, kept me in the loop during the whole process. Owner and the techs worked with me tremendously as I had an issue to be resolved..they stepped up immediately and helped me ASAP..it was crucial for me as I was closing on the sale of my house and they went above and beyond to help me out !!! everything got done super fast..inspection was scheduled and I was able to close on my sale. they came and picked up the tank right away. Jeff & techs were awesome and operator who dug up my tank was highly skilled. HIGHLY RECOMEND..they stuck by me and their work. they treated me like a valued customer...not a number..like some of the bigger companies out there !! read more

Good work but don't believe their bid, which is a very tentative estimate. The final bill came in substantially higher than their written bid though there were no surprises in the work and they refused any adjustment. read more

Marksmen is a first class operation. When we first contacted them, they were very timely in providing a detailed quotation. They also had the best price. Our oil to gas conversion was delayed by the gas company and Diann at Marksmen reached out to us periodically to see how it was going. Once our conversion was complete, we contacted them and they were very punctual. They scheduled the work, took care of the permits, showed up on time, performed the tank removal and filled the hole in one day. All we had to do once they left was rake out a few rocks and throw down some grass seed. Two weeks later I received a package in the mail containing all the permits and paperwork which will come in handy if we ever sell our house. Everything with Marksmen went smooth. Our first contact was with Diane, then Debra - they were both very helpful and answered all of our questions. We also interacted with Amy who does the billing and she too was very helpful. We would unhesitatingly recommend Marksmen to anyone needing an oil tank removed. They are first class all the way. read more

As a businessman, I am very thorough when selecting contractors for any job. So, when I needed to remove an old underground oil tank and replace it with an above ground one, I did my due diligence. I researched area contractors on the Internet, interviewed quite a few of them, and got a number of price quotes. Through the entire process Marksmen Enterprises came across as very straightforward and professional. Their quote was simple and to the point, without pages and pages of legalese. Price-wise, they also scored well. After deciding to go with them, every step of the job was managed very competently and required no intervention on my part. After the job was completed, the Marksmen office followed up diligently with all the paper work required by the town, and documented everything for me, the homeowner. I give them FIVE STARS and I am confident that this type of quality service is what they provide to everybody. read more
