For over 37 years, Burton Excavating has established and maintained a reputation as valued employer and service provider in the Eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  Family owned and operated, our goal is customer satisfaction - we stake our name on it. Our commitment is to excellence and to our community.  We strive to exceed our customers' expectations whenever possible.  We have many many customers that have returned to us over and over for their excavating and maintenance/repair needs. We value our relationships with our customers whether they are homeowners, business people or General Contractors.  We'll go the extra mile to make your job run smooth.

Performing commercial as well as residential work of all sizes, our employees are experienced and familiar with the area and the types of soils and conditions that are likely to be encountered.  We are fully insured, bonded and licensed to perform all of the services that we offer. We have experience in completing projects of all sizes and complexities, and our safety record is excellent.

We have the equipment to complete your project on time and to your satisfaction.  We have complete repair facilities to keep our equipment running and looking good.  But if there is a piece of equipment that we need and we don't own it, we turn to our extensive network of rental and purchase resources to get what we need so we can get your job done on time and to your satisfaction.

Although we perform 99% of our projects with our own manpower, we have relationships with a wide array of contractors who can work with us on areas of work that we do not self-perform (i.e.: asphalt paving, concrete curbs and gutters, directional boring, bore & jack, striping and signage, etc.)

We're proud to have a workforce that is made up of men and women who are skilled and experienced in their fields.  Many of our employees have stayed with our company for many years.  We have an office staff that is ready and capable of handling the most complex paperwork.  When you call our office, you do not receive a recorded message.  We have folks on staff that can bid your job to your exact specifications.

Our construction employees receive ongoing safety training and periodic training on specialty topics like traffic control, HAZWOPER, MDOT and OSHA rules and regulations, septic issues, etc.  

We are a Drug Free Workplace, and all our employees are subject to random drug testing.  Many of our employees have obtained Federal Government Security Clearances to work on jobsites with security concerns.   We are proud of the level of expertise that our employees possess, and the commitment to quality workmanship that they show on a daily basis.  Burton Excavating is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
