N. Minnich Road, Decatur, IN 46733, Adams County

The one number the Better Business Bureau publishes for you is filed as your fax.

Under Additional Contact Information on your BBB profile there is exactly one entry, and it reads Primary Fax, and the digits are the same digits as your telephone. That profile also prints Not Rated, and gives the reason as not enough information to rate the business. It sits next to a Yahoo listing whose own page description promises a reader reviews and hours of operation and then shows neither. Nobody at J and L put any of that there and nobody at J and L can edit it. This page is a free demonstration built for you on 2026-08-29 and nobody here asked for it or paid for it. Call (260) 724-4044 if you would rather hear this from a person.

Read off the Decatur Chamber, the BBB profile and a Yahoo listing on 2026-08-29

Your own paragraph is good. It is sitting on a page with one link on it, and the link goes nowhere useful.

Everything below came off a page that opened and was read on 2026-08-29. The service list is yours, word for word, off your Decatur Chamber of Commerce member listing, and it is the single best piece of writing about this business anywhere online. It is also almost the only one. Where two sources disagreed, and they disagreed about the street number and about the year, this page prints neither and says so instead. Anything it cannot answer goes to (260) 724-4044.

Total site development

The first item in your own sentence on the chamber listing, and the one that carries the most money in it. A builder or a developer choosing a site contractor wants to see finished ground, a machine on a job and some sense of the scale you take on. Right now there is one small photograph attached to your chamber listing and nothing else anywhere. A page of your own would hold twenty and cost less per month than a tank of diesel.

Building pads and basements

Both are in your own published description. Neither appears on the BBB profile, which lists a single category and nothing else, and neither appears on the Yahoo listing, which files the whole business under two words, Excavation Work. Somebody searching for a basement dig in Adams County is not searching for the phrase excavation work, and the pages that do rank for what they are searching are not yours.

Water lines, sewer lines and total sewers

Three separate items in your own list, which is unusual and useful, because it tells a reader you take on the whole run rather than a connection. That distinction is worth a paragraph and a photograph of an open trench. It currently has neither. It exists as five words inside one sentence on a chamber page that a customer has to already know about in order to find.

New house construction and driveways

Homeowners are the people most likely to look you up before they call, and they are the people least likely to find you. They do not know the chamber directory exists. They search, they get a BBB page that says Not Rated and a Yahoo page with no hours and no reviews, and both of those pages carry a claim button, which means both are unclaimed and nobody at your business has ever touched either one.

Ponds

The last item on your list and the most photogenic thing on it. A finished pond is the kind of work people show their neighbors. There is not one picture of one anywhere online under your name. That is not a small loss for a business whose work is this visual, and it is fixed with a phone camera and an afternoon rather than with money.

The machines, which nobody can see

An excavating outfit is judged on its iron, and there is no picture of a single machine of yours on any page that opened today. The chamber listing carries one small image. The BBB profile carries none. The Yahoo listing carries none. Whatever is parked on Minnich Road right now is invisible to everybody deciding whether to call you or somebody else.

Finished work

Three sources opened today and between them they hold one photograph.

The chamber listing has a single small image attached. The BBB profile has none. The Yahoo listing has none, and it also has no reviews, which is not the same as having bad ones. Site work photographs better than almost any other trade, because the before and the after are genuinely different landscapes, and yet there is nothing to look at. The images below are stand ins and they are labeled as such. Real ones off a phone would fill every slot in one afternoon and would sit here permanently.

How it works

What happens today when somebody in Adams County looks you up.

They find the name, and then they find two of them

The chamber prints J and L Construction and Excavating with the word and spelled out. The BBB and Yahoo both print an ampersand. A search engine treats those as two slightly different things, and a customer who half remembers the name gets to pick which half to type.

They find two street numbers on the same road

The chamber prints one number on N. Minnich Road. The BBB and Yahoo both print a different one. This page will not choose between them, because choosing would mean guessing, and sending somebody to the wrong gate on a country road is worse than saying plainly that the two published numbers do not match.

They find a profile that says Not Rated

The BBB gives the reason itself: not enough information to issue a rating. That is not a bad rating and a reader will not read it that way. It reads as an unfinished page about a business nobody has bothered to fill in, which is exactly the impression a thirty year old company should never be leaving.

They find no hours, and they stop

Neither of the two directory pages carries a working week. The Yahoo page even advertises hours of operation in its own description and then shows an empty space where they would be. So the reader has a phone number, no idea whether anybody will answer, and two other contractors one click away who have a page that answers the question.

About us

A thirty year old company with a good paragraph and nowhere to put it.

This page was not made by J and L Construction and Excavating. It is a free demonstration, built on 2026-08-29 from three pages that were opened and read that day, to show what a page of your own could look like. Every fact on it came off a page that loaded. Where two pages disagreed, and they disagreed about the street number and about the founding year, nothing was printed rather than a coin being flipped. That is why there is no year anywhere here and no single address, even though the business plainly has both. Nothing here is a promise made on your behalf. Anything this page cannot answer goes to (260) 724-4044.

Seven empty rows, on purpose. Not one of the three pages read on 2026-08-29 publishes a working week for this business. The Yahoo listing is the sharpest example, because the page's own description tells a reader it will show hours of operation and then the hours block is simply absent. Rather than pick a plausible looking eight to five and print it here, this block says out loud that the hours are not published, because saying that is honest and a guess is not. Seven real rows would take about a minute to say and they would sit here permanently. Anything urgent goes to (260) 724-4044.

N. Minnich Road, Decatur, IN 46733

The street number is deliberately missing from the line above, and that is the point. The Decatur Chamber listing prints one number on N. Minnich Road. The BBB profile and the Yahoo listing both print a different number on the same road. Two street numbers, one road, and no way to settle it from the outside: two of the three sources agree with each other and disagree with the business's own chamber entry. Yahoo adds that the site sits between W 1175 N and W 1200 N. One sentence from you fixes this permanently and it is the first thing a real version of this page would carry. Call (260) 724-4044.

Get in touch

There is no way to ask this business for a quote in writing.

Not one of the three pages read today has a contact form on it. The BBB page offers a reader a Write a Review button and a Get a Quote button that goes to the BBB's own network rather than to you. The Yahoo page offers a Verify your listing link, which is aimed at you rather than at a customer. So the only route in is a phone call to (260) 724-4044 during hours nobody has published, which quietly rules out every builder pricing a job at nine at night, and that is a lot of builders.
