Hunter Kaltsas’ life has gone full circle; a full circle dug in the earth by the excavators he runs. Kaltsas, the owner of Hunter Excavating Inc., just broke ground on a summer project on a new arts building dedicated to the memory of his late mother on the spacious grounds of Stratton Mountain School, a private high school academy run by his father, the headmaster.

He probably thought I struction and grading, demolition, pond dredging was kidding,” said Kaltsas. “At one point, I was driving and snow removal. Hunter Excavating has performed commercial home on weekends to run machinery, going to school, and also training for the ski team. It was quite a balance to do projects such as water mains and utilities, road construction, land clearing, site preparation and everything.” Kaltsas began Hunter Excavating with one employee — himself. “In 2005, it was just me and one excavator that I bought. Every year, it kind of built up, a few more machines, a pretty steady increase of employees and machinery.” Nearly nine years later, he has 11 full-time employees. His first job with his fledgling company was clearing a building lot for a man named Joseph Wagner. Wagner was referred to him by one of Kaltsas’ friends. “He actually was an accountant, and is now my accountant. He is the reason why I am incorporated,” said Kaltsas. “He got in touch with me, I did the job, and he asked me questions like, ‘What are your goals?’ ‘What are you doing with For Hunter, the need to cut timber did not stem from the devastation your company?’ He formalized it, made this all caused by Hurricane Irene in 2011.

demolition. In addition, the company offers a very important service to deal with the challenges of forests and timber in the mountains. “I have a full fleet of mechanized forestry equipment. We have a Feller buncher, a machine tree cutter. And we have two Grapple skidders. They pull the trees that the feller buncher cuts and bunches,” said Kaltsas. “The skidders grapple the trees to a log loader that has a slasher, which cuts the trees and a slasher-delimber, then loaded up on a log truck to head to the mill.” For Hunter, the need to cut timber did not stem from the devastation caused by Hurricane Irene in 2011, the storm that flooded Vermont, washed out roads, bridges and highways and caused hundreds of millions of dollars of damage. “No, years before, in 2006, I bought a 1978 Clark Ranger cable log skidder. I bought it for $13,500. It was an old-fashioned hunk of steel,” said Kaltsas. “I ended up taking it to my neighbor’s garage and basically rebuilt it with the help of friends. We painted it and put original decals on it. We began working it, and making money with it.” Excavation in Vermont shuts down during the winter. “I bought this skidder to keep the cash flow moving by logging,” said Kaltsas. “Pretty much from there, it [my business] kind of turned into a passion for [using and owning] different, unique types of equipment. I ended up buying this fleet of forester equipment over time.” The former ski racer, with the natural resources degree, leans on his own resources when things break down. “I think I’m pretty handy to begin with. I kind of have this mentality that I’m going to figure it out, or I’m going to get it done. If I get blocked or need help, I’ll find someone and drag them up north to the machine to get help,” Kaltsas said. Most of the time he doesn’t have to go past his own repair shop. Longtime employees include supervisor Stuart Rudkin, a former NCAA golfer, with experience in Connecticut construction. Top operator and foreman Louis Pare, operator Larry Wyman, and excavator Warren Roberts each have more than 30 years of experience. Operator Mark Roy joined Hunter six years ago and operator Brent Bills joined Hunter last winter. see HUNTER page 18

‘Project Viewer’ Tool Provides Info on N.H. Road, Bridge Projects CONCORD, N.H. (AP) A new mapping tool on the New Hampshire Department of Transportation Web site is providing access to information on state transportation projects. It’s called “Project Viewer,’’ and it shows the general locations and information for planned, current and future projects. The site provides people with a project’s description and status, plus contact information. “This is a much improved application that was developed completely in-house,’’ said Glenn Davison, manager of the transportation department’s GIS planning section. “It provides transparency and better communication to the public, allowing users multiple ways to search and view details of projects in the planning, design, and construction phases. It’s the same information that we have for our use.’’ “Project Viewer’’ can be accessed by logging into www.nhdot.com, clicking on “Project Center’’ in the upper left column, and then clicking on “DOT Projects Map System.’’ (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

In addition, there is a dedicated team of equipment operators, dump truck operators, laborers and mechanics. “Without Brian Stowell knowing how to fix equipment on the fly, we’d be in trouble, said Kaltsas” “We’re always put up to pretty tough challenges, working in the mountains, building roads to working sites at different houses, different buildings, access roads to the top of the mountains,” said Kaltsas. “I think one thing we specialize in is that most of my men have been working in the mountains most of our lives. We are a different breed. “Most of the older guys who have been up here, have been working pretty much their whole lives doing this work,” Kaltsas said. “I think that a huge piece of my success is the people that I hired. Everyone works very, very hard and each guy is very unique and adds a different twist to the jobs, in order to have everything rolling along.” Kaltsas believes the people matter the most in this type of business. “My advice is, ‘The people you hire are everything.’ It’s who you surround yourself with that makes your company. I have highend clients who ask for specific operators because they enjoy having them working on their property. I have relationships with these people and they also have relationships with operators and continue to have them improve their properties.” In addition, Kaltsas recognizes the importance of strong relationships with the customers. Their satisfaction with the job can determine whether there is more work. “Word of mouth is probably 98 percent of why this all has happened. We do a job, and it leads to two more, and we do those two, and it leads to four more,” said Kaltsas. Unlike many other small excavating firms, Hunter Excavating has not been hampered by the economic hardships that began four years ago. “Honestly, we have grown up very fast and not seen a hiccup from the economy. I think my biggest challenge now is the balance of it all. I still bid jobs, but I’m getting to the point, where there is a lot of overhead and the challenge now is balancing a bigger company out,” said Kaltsas. “When it was me and just a couple of guys, it was easier than having a full-time secretary and a full-time diesel mechanic; ordering new parts every day; figuring out who to hire to keep up with everything we have. I started by doing the estimating, the invoicing, the equipment repair. I was doing
everything. Every year, I do a little less of everything, and get to the work. The biggest challenge to me is not the economy, but keeping up with how fast we’ve grown,” said Kaltsas. His fleet now runs 16 to 20 pieces of equipment. “It’s amazing how much energy needs to go into keeping that much equipment moving and actually making money at it,” said Kaltsas. “Actually, running the equipment is the good part. It’s the other stuff that’s tough,” said Kaltsas. Hunter excavating is currently involved with several projects. The work performed at his alma mater hits very close to home. “It’s an arts center building that is actually dedicated to my mother, who passed away a couple of years ago. We’re doing the digging for it. We’re in the backfilling phase right now,” said Kaltsas. Hunter Excavating is involved in another large project for the Stratton Mountain Resort. “It is five river, stream crossings, arch culverts and we’re doing three bridges on the golf course, over the most part of two summers. Due to permitting, we started on this two days ago [late August]. We will try to have it done by next summer,” he said. Other Hunter Excavating projects include a building for the new Londonderry Town Garage to accommodate service for its trucks, graders and equipment. “We do just about all the water and sewer work for the municipality in Stratton. Whenever there is a water main break, or that type of emergency, we are always the first call,” said Kaltsas. “On top of that, we do a fair amount of work for the Stratton Fire District, who is a very good client of ours.” Even his father has come around to favor his work. “He’s very impressed, I think. It took some time to show him that I could make a life out of it, but he is definitely supportive,” said Kaltsas. “The people we work for always tell him how good a job we’re doing, so he’s always happy.” Headquartered at 2218 Rte. 100, South Londonderry, Hunter Excavating Inc. has two adjoining properties housing two shops — one for heavy equipment repair, and the other for truck repair.
