Excavation & Land Clearing Contractors

We do more than just clear land. Curran Contracting is one of the few excavation contractors who specializes in detailed excavation. We do structural excavation for building footings, continuous spread footings, column pads, elevator pits, and loading docks. We can also show you ways to save money by reducing the amount of materials that need to go to a landfill.

Demolition Contractors

The majority of Curran Contracting’s clients only need demolition for a handful of structures. However, demolition can get complicated and require the services of a demolition specialist. We know who to bring in and have relationships with a variety of specialized demolition contractors. Curran Contracting is also one of the few demolition contractors who readily does demolition for parking lots. We get into the details of removing asphalt pavement, concrete curbs, sprinkler systems and drainage ditches.
