CEI Excavating vs Apex Earthworks for a custom house build?

Hey everyone, we're gearing up for a custom home build later this year (late 2026) and need to hire an excavation contractor for the foundation, grading, and tying into the main sewer and water lines. I've narrowed it down to CEI Excavating and Apex Earthworks. Has anyone used either of these recently? Apex gave a slightly cheaper quote but CEI seemed more thorough during the walk-through. Would love to hear your experiences before we pull the trigger.
