What Paul Greathouse Excavation And Grading Inc. does

Paul Greathouse Excavation and Grading Inc. is a privately held, family-owned construction services firm established in 2014 and headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area. The company provides site preparation, excavation, grading, demolition, concrete, trucking, structural footing, and related services to two primary customer segments: commercial contractors and general contractors, and residential property owners. Notable commercial project experience includes work at America Center, SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center), 2100 University Avenue in Palo Alto, and 800 Presidio Avenue in San Francisco.

The company operates as a horizontal services provider across the site development lifecycle, from initial excavation and land clearing through rough and final grading, structural footings, concrete placement, demolition, and backfill. Equipment is centered on tier 4 EPA-compliant machinery, and the company emphasizes OSHA-compliant demolition practices and a zero on-site accident record on demolition projects. The service catalog is split into a commercial line (basement excavation, concrete, demolition, excavation, grading, structure footings, total site preparation, trucking) and a residential line (basement excavation, concrete, hardscape pavers, and swimming pool back fill/removal).

The business model is project-based professional services revenue. Pricing is quote-based with no published rate card; customers contact the firm directly by phone (510) 967-1412 or email to request a project-specific quote. Go-to-market is owner-led direct field sales with no intermediaries, supported by a basic website, Facebook, and X (Twitter) presence. The firm is bootstrapped with no institutional investors or funding rounds disclosed, and founder Paul Greathouse retains full ownership and leadership as President.
