What Our Clients Say

FAQs Regarding Our Site Work Services in Burlington, NC

• What Areas Do You Serve?

  We cover a large portion of central North Carolina. Most projects take place across the Triad and Triangle, including Burlington, Graham, Mebane, Greensboro, High Point, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, Apex, and Raleigh. We also complete work for clients in surrounding rural communities where access to dependable sitework can be harder to find. If your property sits near these regions, there is a strong chance we can help.

• Do You Offer Warranties On Your Projects?

  Yes. Every project includes a warranty that reflects our commitment to long-term performance. We want clients to feel supported once the work is complete, so any concern that appears after the job receives prompt attention. Our goal is not only to complete the project but to stand behind it as conditions change.

• Can You Help With Small Residential Jobs As Well As Larger Projects?

  We do. Many calls come from homeowners who need targeted improvements such as drainage corrections, small grading adjustments, or concrete pads for new structures. At the same time, builders and municipalities trust us with larger sitework requirements. The scale may change, but the level of communication and care remains consistent for every client.

• Are You Licensed And Insured?

  Yes. Jason holds an Unlimited General Contractor license in North Carolina, which allows us to take on complex grading, civil sitework, and excavation projects that require advanced knowledge. We also maintain full insurance coverage for the safety of our clients, our team, and the properties we work on.

• What Goes Into Getting A Quote?

  It begins with a conversation. Once we understand the main goals of the project, we schedule a visit to walk the property and gather the information needed to provide an accurate proposal. We explain the recommended approach, the anticipated timeline, and the expected cost. There is no obligation, and clients often find the site visit helpful even before committing to the work.

• Do You Install Drainage Systems For Both Homes And Businesses?

  Yes. Drainage problems affect every type of property. We design and install dry creek beds, French drains, downspout piping, commercial drainage networks, and full-yard water management systems. The solutions vary depending on soil type, slope, and use of the space, so each system is planned with the long-term performance of the property in mind.

• Can You Prepare A Site For New Construction?

  Site preparation is one of our core services. We handle clearing, grading, compaction, and drainage adjustments that builders need before foundation and framing crews arrive. Our work supports residential homes, commercial buildings, additions, garages, shops, and municipal structures. A project moves more smoothly when the site is prepared correctly from the beginning.

• What Kind Of Equipment Do You Use?

  We rely on a modern fleet that includes excavators, skid steers, grading equipment, and concrete tools suited for both tight residential areas and open commercial sites. Many of our machines use laser-guided or GPS-directed systems that help us cut, fill, or shape the land with steady accuracy. These tools, combined with our field experience, help create consistent results.

• How Long Does A Typical Project Take?

  Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the work. Smaller drainage or concrete projects may move quickly, while larger grading or excavation plans require more time and coordination with other trades. We provide clear expectations at the start and keep clients informed so the schedule feels predictable from beginning to end.

• What Makes J. Coble Construction Different From Other Sitework Contractors?

  Clients often mention the level of involvement they receive directly from Jason. From the first visit to the final walkthrough, he remains available, communicates clearly, and treats each project with personal accountability. That approach comes from decades of family construction heritage and a commitment to building long-term relationships with homeowners, businesses, and builders across North Carolina.
