Old Red LLC.

The state insures Old Red under workers'-comp classes for excavation, pipelaying and building demolition, which lines up with the services it lists. That points to dirt work, trenching and wrecking rather than carpentry or finish trades. The state lists Jesse Weston as a principal since 2020, the year the business was established. The company says it runs part-time, so scheduling may be more like booking a small operator than a full-time crew with several rigs. Old Red fits a homeowner prepping a site for a new house or shop, putting a gravel driveway or access road onto a lot outside town, or clearing an old garage or outbuilding before something new goes up. Framing, interior work and large public projects sit outside what it does. For a build, it handles the ground and the teardown, and another contractor takes it from the slab up. Before any digging starts, pin down scope in writing: how deep the cut goes, where spoils and demolition debris end up, and whether hauling and dump fees are part of the job. Ask who calls in utility locates and what happens if the crew hits rock, buried debris or an old septic line, since those surprises turn into change orders. For a gravel drive, ask what base and top rock go down and how thick. Ask what the contractor stands behind after the job, such as settling or drainage problems on a graded pad.
