Licensed, bonded, and award-winning

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

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.

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.

Yes, JWSR carries a surety bond, and bonding capacity is confirmed in writing on request. For a public bid we provide what the bid package calls for, which is normally a bid bond and a consent of surety from our surety company, along with performance and payment bonds once a contract is awarded. Tell us the project and its value and we will tell you straight whether it is inside our capacity, including when the honest answer is that you want a larger contractor.

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.
