The simple answer is NO. We pay taxes for every material and piece of rental equipment we need to complete the project. Those taxes are passed onto our customers. Permits may or may not be required on your project depending on the scope of work and whether the municipality requires a permit. Working without a permit can open you up to serious fines if a violation occurs. R.W. Excavation is here to serve as your source for quality site-preparation services, and our commitment to quality and safety ensures that every task is done consistently and in compliance with local and state laws.
