Skinner Construction and its associates were knowledgeable and careful, yet fast and efficient. The septic rebuild was completed with minimum disruption to our routine. Sam backs his work with a five year warranty. It is comforting to know that he can and will respond quickly should any problem arise. We highly recommend this company.

Sam and his crew did an excellent job on installing a new septic system for me. He communicated with me the entire time to keep me updated on the project as well as sending pictures of the progress from beginning to end.

Skinner installed a pump tank and new drain field in a tight area for us. Sam did a great job and stayed on schedule, with daily progress reports via email. He was not only thorough and knowledgeable but patient, respectful and kind. Very professional; positive experience.
