I have hired Mr. Posthole for multiple jobs and they have been extremely reliable. The owner, Kirk, communicates well, shows up as promised, and goes the extra mile to make sure he takes care of my customer's property - which I greatly appreciate! I no longer rent an auger for my decks and gazebos. It is far easier (and usually the same cost) to call Kirk at Mr. Posthole and have him take care of it. I have referred him for several stump removals as well with the same results - professional and top-notch service.
About
A Family Owned & Operated Business
I am Kirk Carlson, and I spent my professional career as a firefighter for the City of Detroit. I love helping people and with a low salary, a great schedule, and being a serial entrepreneur (who also loves cereal) I started my first “services” company in 2003 with a stump removal business – Forrest Stump. This venture was cut short when my feet were nearly turned into stumps at a structure fire in 2006 and required a long stint in a wheelchair.
After recovery, I returned to the fire department, but also stayed in the outdoor services space providing light excavation, demolition, stump removal, and augering on a part time basis. Like services often do, this has morphed into a full time career.
I started the Mr. Posthole brand not only to be a true family owned and operated company that focuses on post hole drilling, but to teach my teenage sons and daughter the value of hard work, integrity, honesty and professionalism. When they go out into the world on their own I want them to bring more to the table other than just a fork, therefore, you will often see one or all of them working alongside me.
