Adam Magee, owner of Magee's Excavation LLC
About Adam Magee

19 Years in the Dirt, Built on Honesty and Hard Work

I grew up around excavation. My dad had his own business for years and I was loading dump trucks from the seat of his excavator at eight years old. When he retired, I knew I wanted to build my own version of that. I started Magee's Excavation to do the work right and put my name on it.

Every estimate is straight talk: here is what needs to be done, here is what it costs, and if we hit something unexpected I stop, call you, and give you real options. I have 19 years of experience in this trade and I am building something I can hand to my sons. The name on the side of the machine is my last name. I am not going to do shoddy work.
