Stutz Excavating Inc

What Stutz Excavating Inc does

Stutz Excavating Inc is a privately held, family-owned heavy civil construction company headquartered in Alton, Illinois, operating continuously since 1979. The firm delivers four integrated service lines — excavation, trucking/hauling, demolition, and asphalt/concrete paving — to government, commercial, and residential customers across a four-county region of southern Illinois (Madison, Macoupin, Jersey, and Montgomery counties). Core capabilities span roadway and earthwork excavation, storm and sanitary sewer installation, box culverts and lift stations, aggregate and rip-rap hauling via owned tandem dump trucks (15-ton capacity with tub-type beds), building and pavement demolition, and bituminous paving with lime-modified soil base courses. The company is fully insured and bonded, and is prequalified with the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Capital Development Board, enabling direct bidding on municipal, state, and federal public works contracts alongside private commercial and residential projects.

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven engagements: competitive bidding on public infrastructure contracts and free-estimate private jobs (driveways, parking lots, snow removal, material delivery). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by project scope, materials, and delivery location; payment is typically tied to project completion milestones. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, with public-sector capture dependent on prequalification credentials and private-sector acquisition driven by referrals, the company website, and direct outreach. Operations rely on regional organized labor (Teamsters, Operating Engineers, Laborers, Cement Masons) and an owned fleet of heavy equipment; the company maintains industry memberships in the Midwest Truckers Association and the Southern Illinois Builders Association (SIBA-AGC). Leadership consists of Christopher D. Stutz as President & Chief Estimator, with Paul A. Stutz and Daniel J. Stutz serving as Officers, reflecting multi-generational family control with no external parent, private equity, or institutional investment indicated in the available sources.
