Chris Gonzalez offers a fair price, is honest and hard-working. We hired him to put in a French drain and to clear brush and trees to resolve and redirect water flowing off a hill onto our property. Through a very wet season, Chris has stayed true to his word and completed the French drain, clearing, and added a swale. He is a good communicator who provides you with issues and updates to set proper expectations. We had topsoil and loam delivered, and he worked into the evening to spread and seed our property. Chris assures us we will have a beautiful Kentucky blue-green lawn this summer. I am confident we will. I would recommend him and would hire him again.

5/5 Stars – Superb work. When Chris first arrived, he was extremely professional and thorough. He was upfront with all the expenses and walked me through his process. He was accommodating, responsive, and adaptable. He was very careful to cause as little disruption as possible, and was able to complete the job on time and 100% within budget. He was always reachable and very communicative. I would confidently recommend him to friends and family. Excellent work. Job – Drainage/culvert system for a long gravel driveway.

We hired Chris to fix a mess created by an inexperienced contractor. Chris showed up on time, communicated well by text and phone, and found a solution to our problem after a site visit. He worked hard under the boiling sun and kept at it until the job was 100% done. I would recommend him to anyone needing excavating work in the Capital Region. And he’s a nice guy.

To find a contractor like Chris that follows through with each promise he makes is a true find. I will definitely be keeping him in mind for future projects. His communication is absolutely top-notch and a pleasure to work with.

In this day and age, finding someone who is honest, reliable, and caring is like finding a needle in a haystack. Well, WE FOUND THAT NEEDLE!!! Chris and his team worked with us solving every twist and turn. The respect for us and our project was as if they were doing a job at their own home. Professional job… work ethic… excellent cleanup… If we could give more stars… we would!

I contacted Chris and his crew on a last-minute job late in the season for a job that got very complicated and where a lot of troubleshooting had to be done. Chris and his team went above and beyond to make it happen, with hard work, creativity, resilience, compassion, and professionalism. I can’t be thankful enough to them for their work and their help, and there is no one I would rather work with. I absolutely recommend them without hesitation.

This, by far, has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had working with and needing a contractor. The owner, Chris, was amazing—extremely professional, reliable, and honest, with 100% follow-through. He took care of my needs urgently. His skill set is beyond words. He managed the complete process and produced results that far exceeded all expectations. For any excavation needs, I would never look any further. Don’t waste your time with anyone else—call Gonzales and Sons, and you won’t be disappointed. He puts customers above all others. I can’t express my thanks enough.

Hired Chris to fix a horribly done shed pad I paid another “contractor” to do. When my 12×20 shed was delivered, I discovered how badly out of level it was. Found Gonzalez & Son Enterprises on Google Maps. He responded promptly, showed up when he said he would, fixed the shed pad, and most importantly, did not take advantage of me on price when I was in extremis. I HIGHLY recommend him. I give very few 5-star reviews.

Gonzalez and Son Enterprises, LLC installed a new leach field onto our septic system that had previously failed inspection. Chris was easy to work with, and he offered a competitive price for the work performed. He and his team followed through in a timely manner and were able to do the work to the very specific details drafted in the engineer’s drawings. I would recommend Chris to anyone who has septic work and will contract with him again for future work.

Chris and his crew can do just about anything you need done. Chris was really flexible with my timeline, and he does excellent work. I would highly recommend this company for any of your construction and excavation projects. Plus, he is a super friendly, honest, and hardworking guy.

Chris and his team are excellent. Chris has the most integrity and goes above and beyond on any project. We hired him for a large pathway and landscaping project and will continue to have him and his team back as we do more work on our property.

Chris was the excavator on my new pool install. He did a great job. I needed additional landscaping performed to complete the project. He was an easy choice to use and even offered a solution to a grading issue I hadn’t considered. The retaining wall he suggested, and ultimately installed, came out great. The whole crew was easy to work with, came when they said they would, completed the job when they said they would, and the quoted price never changed. I plan on giving them a call to add a patio in the spring. Highly recommend!

Chris Gonzalez Trucking and Excavation – quality of his work is outstanding; price is reasonable and stayed true to the contract. He is very knowledgeable about excavation, explaining everything in detail so there were no surprises. Customer service is excellent. He called me to inform me if the work couldn’t be done due to weather and scheduled the next visit around my schedule. I would highly recommend Chris to others.

We had a problem that required immediate attention. Chris was the first to respond and showed up later that day to assess the situation. He was back the next morning and did an amazing job. He was both professional and personable.

We were in need of a shed, and Chris totally delivered. He coordinated the build of a custom shed from negotiation through delivery. He also built the foundation in a corner of our yard that was not very accessible. We are thrilled with the results! He exceeded our expectations on the final project and was such a pleasure to work with. He is highly organized, responsive, and dedicated to doing the best work. We are lining up our next project with him—a new bluestone walkway for the entrance to our home. Looking forward to working with him again.
