F.A.Qs

We encourage customers to send checks, but we understand that does not work for everyone, so we do have an option available to customers to make payments with their card over the phone. However, all card payments are subject to an additional 4% card processing fee. This means if you are paying a $1,500 invoice with a card you will be charged $1,560 ($1,500 * 4% = $60 + $1,500 = $1,560).

Please make your checks payable to “Freedom Fabrication & Excavation” and mail them to PO Box 6907, Helena, MT 59604. If you are unable to mail your checks, please contact our financial administrator, Hailee, to make special arrangements.

All payments are due 20 days after the customer has received their invoice. If you are unable to pay your invoice in full within that 20-day period, please contact our financial administrator.

Freedom Fabrication offers first-class concrete, excavation, and landscaping services. If a project includes work in more than one of these divisions, multiple estimates will be provided for each service. Additionally, each estimate will include work areas to give the client a chronological order in which the work is to be performed.

Once we receive an opportunity, Trey will schedule a site visit to collect preliminary information and references such as photos and measurements. Then, he takes that information back to the office to prepare an initial blueprint, quantity calculations and detail drawings if necessary. Within two days the client can expect an estimate for their project including pertinent drawings and information.

Concrete has a stronger initial psi rating, but pavers offer a unique, custom textured look that is only achievable with paver material. So, it depends on what is most preferable to you.
