Ridge Top Excavating LLC is a heavy civil construction contractor providing the following services in Pennsylvania and the surrounding Tri-State Region:
All services are subject to a separate written contract executed between the Company and the Client prior to commencement of work. These Terms and Conditions are incorporated by reference into any such contract.
All quotes, estimates, and written proposals provided by Ridge Top Excavating LLC are non-binding and subject to change until a formal written contract is signed by both parties. Estimates are based on information available at the time of the site visit or project review and may be revised if site conditions, material costs, or project scope differ from initial assessments. Quotes are valid for thirty (30) days from the date of issuance unless otherwise stated in writing.
No work will commence without a fully executed written contract. Verbal agreements, email confirmations, and informal communications do not constitute a binding contract for construction services. The written contract will specify the scope of work, project schedule, payment milestones, and any special conditions applicable to the project.
Unless otherwise specified in the written project contract, the following payment terms apply to all engagements:
Any modification, addition, or deletion to the agreed project scope must be documented in a written change order signed by authorized representatives of both the Company and the Client before the changed work is performed. Verbal change orders, text messages, and informal email requests are not binding on the Company. The Company reserves the right to stop work if a change order is requested but not formally executed, and no delay damages shall accrue to the Client during such a work stoppage.
The Client is solely responsible for the following prior to and during the project:
The Company shall not be liable for delays, additional costs, or damage resulting from inaccurate or incomplete information provided by the Client.
Unless expressly stated otherwise in the written project contract, the Client is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits, approvals, and regulatory authorizations required for the project, including but not limited to building permits, grading permits, erosion and sedimentation control permits, and environmental approvals. The Company will cooperate with permit applications as reasonably requested and will perform all work in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including OSHA safety standards and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) requirements.
Ridge Top Excavating LLC warrants that all work will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with industry standards for heavy civil construction in Pennsylvania. This warranty does not cover damage caused by Acts of God, extreme weather events, Client modifications to completed work, third-party interference, or conditions that were not disclosed to the Company prior to project commencement. Any warranty claims must be submitted in writing within one (1) year of project completion.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company's total aggregate liability to the Client for any claim arising out of or related to services performed under any contract shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Client for the specific services giving rise to the claim. The Company shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of business opportunity, or loss of use, even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Ridge Top Excavating LLC maintains the following insurance coverage as required by Pennsylvania law and industry standards:
Certificates of Insurance are available upon written request and will be provided prior to project commencement. The Client may be named as an additional insured on the general liability policy as required by the project contract.
Ridge Top Excavating LLC maintains an active safety program and is committed to an EMR (Experience Modification Rate) below the industry average. All personnel are trained in OSHA safety standards. The Client agrees to maintain a safe environment at the project site and to immediately report any unsafe conditions to the Company's project supervisor. Unauthorized personnel, including Client employees and visitors, must not enter active work zones without prior authorization and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
