Dan Ostman started Foundations Etc in 1988, in concrete foundation work, and grew it into full excavation. He incorporated the business as Foundations Etc Inc in 2012.
His son Dane carries the family business on. We run a crew of about ten out of Snohomish, and we have worked the same county for more than thirty years.
We own our equipment and our dump trucks, which is what lets one crew take a site from clearing through grading, drainage and haul-off without handing it to anyone else.
