Frequently Asked Questions
How much does excavation cost in Nelson, BC?
Every project is unique due to our specific Kootenay terrain and soil composition. We provide free, transparent on-site estimates to give you an accurate budget. By analyzing site access and material needs upfront, we focus on delivering high-quality work that stays under budget.
Can you build retaining walls on steep hillsides?
Absolutely. We specialize in structural rockwork and concrete retaining walls designed for the West Kootenays’ vertical landscape. Whether it’s a decorative stone staircase or a massive structural wall, we ensure it is built for long-term stability and erosion control.
What is your timeline for new projects?
Our schedule varies by season, but we prioritize clear communication. From the moment you contact us for a quote, we provide a realistic start date and a dedicated timeline to ensure your site is prepared or repaired without unnecessary delays.
Do you handle residential drainage and foundation repair?
Yes. Protecting your home from water damage is a Scoop specialty. We install French drains, perimeter footings, and solve complex runoff issues on steep slopes. Our Red Seal expertise ensures that structural repairs are handled with builder-level precision.
Are you licensed to work in Nelson and Castlegar?
Yes, Scoop Contracting is fully licensed and insured to operate across the West Kootenays, including Nelson, Castlegar, and the surrounding regions. We pride ourselves on property respect and being a trusted, local family-owned business.
Do you do “small” home repairs or just big excavations?
We do both! Our team is equipped for “Heavy Power” excavation but led by “Residential Precision.” Whether it’s a small deck repair or a full-lot clearing, we bring the same level of integrity and “cleaner than we found it” service to every job.
