Humble Beginnings

Partners Excavating Company began as a partnership in November 1975, and became incorporated in October 1986 with Carl Berkey as president and sole owner. In June 1997, we moved to our new location on a 5-acre site just south of Harrisonburg, Virginia.

Our company offers total site preparation — including installation of underground utilities — and asphalt paving. Project bids range from several thousand dollars to over $25 million, and we have bonding capacity for that same project range. We perform a mix of commercial and residential work for both general contractors and individuals.
