Today, under second-generation leadership, Aces Four continues to serve the community with a commitment to quality, safety, and personalized service that sets them apart in the competitive world of underground utility and construction services.

A Legacy of Excellence in Seattle
Aces Four's story begins with a unique vision. Rick Middlebrook's experience as a city inspector gave him invaluable insight into the intricacies of sewer and drainage systems, while his wife Peggy's background in customer service ensured that clients would always be treated with respect and understanding . This combination of technical expertise and customer-centric values became the company's foundation. Over the years, Aces Four has expanded its service capabilities while maintaining the personalized touch of a family-operated business. The recent partnership with industry professionals Alex Babak and Illya Kovalevich has further enhanced their ability to offer comprehensive drainage, sewer, and excavation services, backed by an in-house crew boasting an impressive 45 years of combined experience .
