The best demo contracting company I have dealt with thus far. Called up to get some slab broken up in the basement for plumbing, Bella came the next day to give me a quote with a very competitive price and then came the day after and finished it that day. They were very communicative and prompt and cleaned up and hauled away everything as discussed . Couldn’t be happier with this experience. Almost always with this kind of stuff there are some kind of issues, but with Bella I had absolutely none. Will definitely use them again.

Read reviews before I hired them and thought they were exagerating about how great they were. Boy was I wrong. I couldn’t agree more with the excellent ratings everyone gave them. They were a class act. Professional, courteous, neat and easy to talk to. The workers worked so well together. My husband and I were beyond pleased at the work that was done. I have already recommended them to a friend. Great work Ben and team! Thank you!

Ben worked with me through the entire process: the demolition and the city requirements. They were safe, friendly, clean, did the best job for me possible. They were half the price than anybody else, which did concern me, however they were EXCELLENT; they could not have been any better! Inexpensive, great, clean and fast!

Ben and his team are incredibly responsive and high-efficient. They came to our home first for estimation and gave a very reasonable quotes. They complete out removing project within 2 hours and quickly cleaned up all of the debris on site. I would definitely recommend them to my friends.

Ben was very professional and punctual. The two workers were as well. They demolished two outdoor sheds and removed wood fences. They cleaned up the area afterward. I would definitely recommend this company.

I am thankful for Bella Contracting Services. They did a great job. They were on-time, fast, and efficient. They did work in one day, that would have took me a week. Time is money in my line of work. Bella Contracting Service saved me time and money with the great price they gave me. They haul away the debris and clean and vacuum everything. Bella Contracting Service is well worth it. I will definitely hire them again.

I hired Ben and his team to perform full demolition on the interior of a historic home bringing it back to the studs in preparation for a full restoration. His team took care where care was needed and worked diligently to get the job done. The fact that Ben had his own trucks for carting really made the difference given the site conditions. I would definitely hire them again.

I hired the team to perform full demolition on the stand alone car garage in my backyard. The team took care where care was needed and worked diligently to get the job done. They were able to knock down the garage and remove the debris in a minimum amount of time and at far less of an expense if the city got involved. I would definitely hire them again. Already in talks for our next project.

Worker’s arrived on time. Demolished the shed and cleaned up effectively.

The guys got to my house a little bit late, but it was Father s Day on Sunday and they demolish my Drummes studio. they took care of it, great guys ,hard workers. Did what they re supposed to do.

Crew was on time and focused and did a great job! It was an organized demolition of a backyard shed. They were professional and cleaned up. Would use them again and reccommend.

Ben and his crew did demo work on our home. Ben was very thoughtful and catered to all our needs. They completed the work very quickly and efficiently, making sure we like the way they did everything. Everyone was very friendly and it was a pleasure to do business with them. They left the area clean.

Very easy to communicate with the owner Ben. They were able to start the project when I needed and complete just as fast. Had a dumpster truck so no need to have a dumpster delivered on a driveway.

Couldn’t be happier with the results. They have a great team of experienced guys and take care of you. I highly recommend them!! I needed to get rid of an old shed and a rusted basketball pole. From the initial inspection to the day of the job, Bella Contracting was timely, polite and really good at their jobs. The team came in with their own trucks and tools, which allowed for them to give me a fair price on handling two demolitions. It took them less than two hours! I appreciated that they were willing to listen to my needs and how they even gave some tips on house-maintenance coming from their decades of experience. Thanks guys!!

Residential excavation

Foundation excavation

A building is only as strong as its foundation. Without proper excavation, your building can end up on uneven ground. The ground may also settle beneath the building – putting your property and your loved ones at risk. You don’t want the ground under your foundation to settle – and you shouldn’t settle, either. When you choose Bella Contracting, you get a company with decades of excavation experience. We’ll set the groundwork for your foundation by ensuring the area we excavate is level, free of obstructions and voids, and ready for your building. This is time-consuming work that requires precision and skill. The professionals at Bella plan carefully before each excavation project, ensuring that the foundation for your home, garage, or other building will be built on stable ground. Efficient project management and execution are crucial for various phases of a construction project.

Underground utilities

When it comes to installing underground utilities, careful excavating work is key. Whether you’re looking to install underground electrical, water, gas, or anything else, our professionals will ensure that the excavating work is done right. That means our experts will carefully plot the excavation, finding the most efficient route to connect utilities to your property without disrupting or damaging the utilities that are already there.

We also offer assistance with the installation of underground utilities, including sanitary sewer systems, and emphasize the importance of adhering to local, county, and state guidelines for effective utility installation, removal, and repair.

Land grading

Land grading is an essential part of any new build. It ensures that your land slopes away from your building, allowing water to drain away from the foundation.

Our excavating services can be used both for new builds and for existing buildings with drainage problems. We can also provide land grading services to prepare for new landscaping, new patios, new driveways, and anything else you might need.

…and more!

We offer comprehensive residential excavation services. If you need land excavated for septic tanks, dry wells, sidewalks, new permanent structures, add-ons, swimming pools, or anything else, we can help. We’ll obtain all the necessary permits for you. We have a full fleet of excavation machines – which we’ll describe below – so there’s no job that we can’t handle.

Commercial Excavation Services

Commercial excavation presents a number of challenges that you won’t find in most residential excavating projects. The scale, complexity, and timeframe of commercial projects are usually much more demanding.

You can trust us for your commercial excavating needs. With decades of experience excavating, our team of professionals will handle your project on time, on budget, and without incident.

We’re accustomed to working alongside other contractors, so if you have a big project that needs to be done on a tight schedule, you can count on us. We’ll stay in constant communication with relevant stakeholders, like utility installation contractors, to ensure the work is done on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What affects the cost of an excavation project in New Jersey?

Excavation costs mainly depend on the volume of soil removed and the type of soil being excavated. More cubic yards for deeper trenches or larger lots raises the price, and rocky, wet, or hard-to-access terrain takes more equipment time and costs more. Bella Contracting Services performs a soil classification test on every project before providing a cost estimate.

Can a property owner excavate their own land in New Jersey?

New Jersey requires permits before any excavation work begins, and excavating without proper training or equipment carries real risk of injury or code violations. Bella Contracting Services recommends working with a licensed excavation contractor for any project beyond minor landscaping.

What safety measures are required before an excavation project begins?

Before excavation starts, crews assess soil stability, mark underground utility lines, and put protective measures in place to prevent collapse or injury to workers and nearby structures. Bella Contracting Services follows industry-standard excavation safety protocols on every commercial and industrial project in New Jersey. Contact Bella Contracting Services for a safety-compliant excavation estimate.

How long does a commercial excavation project take in New Jersey?

Most commercial excavation projects in New Jersey run from several days to several weeks depending on site size, soil conditions, and how much material has to be moved. Permit approval timelines and utility marking add to the schedule before any equipment reaches the site. Weather and unexpected subsurface conditions such as rock or groundwater can extend the timeline further. Bella Contracting Services provides a project schedule alongside every excavation estimate so commercial clients can plan around realistic dates.
