The questions people ask before they hire us

Is JWSR LLC licensed?

Yes. JWSR LLC holds New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor registration #13VH11072100, is licensed in both New Jersey and New York, and is a Certified Excavator of New York.

Does JWSR have a US DOT number?

Yes, US DOT #3767354. That covers the trucks, and it is the number a general contractor or a utility usually asks for first when adding a crew to a project.

Is JWSR insured, and can we get a certificate?

Yes, fully insured, and certificates of insurance are available on request for your project file. Ask and we send it; you should not have to chase a contractor for a COI.

Can you meet the bonding requirements on a public bid?

Tell us the project and its value and we will answer it directly, with whatever the bid package calls for supplied as part of the bid rather than published on a website. We will also tell you straight when a project is larger than we should be taking on, because a contractor who says yes to everything is not doing you a favor.

What trade associations does JWSR belong to?

National Utility Contractors Association (NUCA), New Jersey, New Jersey Landscape Contractors Association, Sussex County Association of Realtors, BNI, Top Tier NJ.

What safety and damage-prevention training has the crew done?

JWSR completed the NJ One Call (811) Damage Prevention Seminar in 2023 and 2024. In practice the training matters less than the habit: an 811 mark-out gets called in on every job and we wait for the marks before a bucket touches the ground.

Has JWSR won any local recognition?

Best of Sussex County, NJ Herald Community Choice Award for Best Excavator. Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite, voted by neighbors 5 years running (2021-2025). HomeAdvisor Top Rated & Elite Service Provider, 3 years screened and approved.

Who owns JWSR?

James Watson, who founded the company in 2020 and still owns and runs it. It is family owned and operated, and James works on jobsites with the crews between estimates.
