    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.

    Dana & his crew were great to work! From scheduling, through communication, to completion- I cant praise him and his team enough. Highly recommend.

    I needed a gravel shed base done in a very short amount of time to support arrival of a prefabricated 10 x 16 shed. Dana and his crew did an excellent job laying out a 13 x 19 gravel bed bordered by PT timbers on a sloping lot to allow the new shed to land on. While there, he also addressed some landscaping problems at minimal cost. The final product was exactly what I was looking for, was perfectly level and created a solid and attractive base to support the shed installation without a hitch.I would use his services again and I would highly recommend him.

    Dana and is his team excavated for a 3 car garage and ADU. The team did a great job and he was also a great resource for other subs. I would hire him again if the need arises.

    I emailed an inquiry and within 24 hours Dana was here to discuss my drainage concerns. He offered me options that fit within my budget. A French drain, a dry well, and a graded driveway and all before the first frost. I was at work while Dana and Team did the job and I received images showing their progress throughout. Communication, attention to detail, timely responses, and beautiful work. Dana followed through and I’m thankful for his service.

    Dana and his crew did a great job installing two French drains and a dry well on my property. The final cost was very close to the estimate. My basement is a lot drier now and just in time for the upcoming hurricane. I highly recommend them.

    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.

    The estimate to the final day of the job. We hired Northern Home to grade and resurface our camp road in Southern Maine, Dana kept all property owners in the loop during the entire process! The final condition of the road is awesome! I would 110% recommend Dana and his team to anyone needing his services. Professional, courteous, fairly priced and friendly...all things a contractor should be!Great work!

    I cant say enough good things about Dana and Northern Home & Excavation. My driveway is a beast, and was long in need of repairs. We also wanted to increase the amount of parking spaces. Dana was helpful and honest in making suggestions for how best to improve it, was very quick to respond to all communications, and upfront about costs. His crew was kind and professional, very prompt, and my driveway is so much better now. Highly recommend! Thank you Dana!

    I contacted Northern Home when it was recommended to me by the shed company Im 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 didnt cut any corners even in miserable weather.Ive 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.

    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. :)

  • Review 12 (2020-12-03 - Rating: 5)

    Dana and Brenden were awesome. We had a project that was a bit out of our comfort zone and they helped make the entire process as stress free as it could be. Dana was great at guiding us to the correct materials for the job when the hardware and tools we were using were failing. Made the process run faster and easier. Overall great experience, and we know who we will call whenever we need excavation work again. 👍👍👍

    I was having difficulty getting my local contractor to respond to me regarding a foundation I needed for my shed. I contacted the company building my shed and they referred me to Dana at Northern Home & Excavation. From then on all of my anxiety went away. Dana got back to me quickly and we began going over my needs for a foundation on a steep grade. He worked the problem and got me a quote. He got back to me with a date to do the work which was sooner then I anticipated. Beyond the steep grade, they also ran into a lot of large rocks but the work was done in the 2 days that Dana had originally told me. My experience was very good. Dana will be back to do more work at my home. I would highly recommend Northern Home & Excavation.

    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.

  • Review 15 (2020-11-06 - Rating: 5)

    In searching for someone to build a pad for a new shed I came across a reference for Dana Kiklis and his company. For the first conversation, Dana showed not only his professionalism but showed he really cared for his clients. Dana and Brendan arrived at approximately 0730 and completed the job by 1500. At the end it was time to settle up. The price was better than expected and he even reimbursed me for the excess timber I purchased for the job. So not only does display expertise and professionalism, he also displayed integrity when dealing with me. Everything he said I trusted and I would’ve been wrong not to.In closing I highly recommend that you contract Dana Kiklis and his excavation company Northern Home and Excavation to fulfill your needs.

  • Review 16 (2020-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    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.

  • Review 17 (2021-10-23 - Rating: 5)

    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!

  • Review 18 (2021-07-15 - Rating: 5)

    Dana and crew did an awesome job at my aunts 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 !!!

  • Review 19 (2022-10-26 - Rating: 5)

    I cant express enough how happy I am with Northern Home & Excavation and the very professional approach they took on a difficult project that many other companies turned away from due to ledge involved at our Pleasant Lake house. Dana and his crew (Brendan) just came in and did the job above and beyond expectation. They also left the place clean and un-cluttered. I cant recommend this company enough! Thank you again guys for an amazing job. I will surely be utilizing your services again in the future.Doc

  • Review 20 (2020-11-29 - Rating: 5)

    Our project involved excavating for and installing precast footings for a new construction porch. Dana graciously made time to squeeze my job in on a weekend between some of his bigger jobs. During the excavation he asked several times if the job was coming out as well as we had hoped. Additionally, he went out of his way to move multiple bucket loads of large landscaping rocks during clean up. I highly recommend him!

  • Review 21 (2020-07-23 - Rating: 5)

    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.

  • Review 22 (2021-05-13 - Rating: 5)

    Dana and his crew are fantastic. Fair, reliable, knowledgeable, communicative. Highly recommend for any work you may need done on your property.

  • Review 23 (2020-10-28 - Rating: 5)

    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.

  • Review 24 (2021-09-23 - Rating: 5)

    Dana and crew were great. Had a driveway and foundation done. Communication was excellent and there were no surprises. Everything you could want in a good contractor. I would highly recommend.

  • Review 25 (2024-06-25 - Rating: 5)

    Dana Kiklis and his crew have been phenomenal to work with. I had them resurface my long gravel downward sloping driveway and create drainage along one side to channel the rainwater that was destroying my drive. They also created a drainage pool at the end of the driveway next to the house. I waited to give a detailed review until after a driving rain. Now that we’ve experienced a couple of storms I can report all good news.To begin with, Dana is a great communicator. He responds quickly and clearly. His crew are hard working and super friendly. The work was performed quickly and on time. But the great news is that my driveway now functions so much better. No holes, great drainage and it looks great! Highly recommend this company.

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

  • Review 27 (2021-09-02 - Rating: 5)

    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!

    Thank you Dana for coming out to our house, on a Saturday, to give expert advice on work that was completed by someone else. We appreciate your time and knowledge of the culvert and drain system. I called you out-of-the-blue and you responded; dont see that much these days. So appreciative. Thank you!

  • Review 29 (2021-05-25 - Rating: 5)

    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!

  • Review 30 (2022-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    Dana and crew were amazing to work with. We hit many issues, like a natural spring, while trying to put in a driveway. Dana contacted us right away to discuss the issue and solutions. We are going to be working with them more soon. I appreciate their prompt response and professionalism. I highly recommend them!

  • Review 31 (2023-06-07 - Rating: 5)

    My yard and garage flooded after every heavy rain. I hired northern home (Dana) to set up a drainage system and drywell. . He and his crew worked hard and really helped me with this. The yard looks great. All the French drains etc you cannot see , he also fixed other areas around my garage and took the time to make sure my home was safe and the gas line was properly maintained. Dana went out of his way to provide a well done job that was reasonably priced, but more than that, he really shows a commitment to a pride in his work . I believe that he has a burning desire to achieve and succeed with a business model that is successful and productive. Anyways, I feel very happy I chose them to do all this work. I was hesitant in the beginning because I didn’t know anything about excavation and grading and stuff like that. He is the one to hire if you need help with your yard . A very kind no nonsense , reasonable guy! Pepsie jabre

    We hired Dana to do some repairs and updates of our very long driveway and parking area. Cant say enough good things about this experience. If you need work done you wont find anyone more dependable, responsible or competitive then Northern Home, Dana knows his stuff. Very good communication, to be honest we got more than expected, the property looks better than it has in years! They did an awesome job.
