The Screw Pile Guy

The Screw Pile Guy is a family-owned construction business in Nova Scotia that describes itself as having more than 20 years of experience in the industry. Its website covers the Annapolis Valley, and testimonials on the site mention the owner by first name, Lester.

Screw pile installation is the company's stated specialty, and it describes the work as engineer-approved and meeting local regulations. It also offers excavation for projects of all sizes, including trenching and site preparation, and snow removal packages in winter. Customer comments on the site mention reasonable prices and quick turnaround. Screw piles are installed without concrete footings, which suits decks, small buildings and sites where digging is difficult.

The site lists the Annapolis Valley as its area covered and offers free quotes through the contact form, by phone at 902-679-8551, or by email. Before hiring, ask what pile size and length are proposed, how installation torque is verified, whether engineering documents will be supplied for your permit, and whether the quote includes any excavation or site prep.
