Roanoke, Indiana · Since 1978
The year the first Ironclad machine broke ground
Two generations of moving northeast Indiana’s dirt.
Family-owned excavation and site work — dig, utilities, grade, and build — for Huntington, Allen & Whitley counties. The same crews, many here since the early ’80s.
Concept built for Ironclad Excavating · Roanoke, IN
The proof is in the record
A National Excellence in Construction Award for the Maumee River widening.
Awarded by the Associated Builders and Contractors. In the years around it — 1990 through 1996 — Ironclad moved on average a million yards of dirt a year. This is a crew that has done the big jobs, and done them well enough to be recognized nationally for it.
What Ironclad does
From the first cut to the final grade.
A full site package under one roof — the reason a general contractor can hand Ironclad the dirt and stop worrying about it.
Excavation & earthmoving
Mass excavation, cut and fill, building pads, and dirt moving at scale — the core of the business since 1978.
Sewer & water utilities
Underground water and sanitary/storm sewer — the wet utilities most site packages hinge on, installed and tied in.
Grading & site development
Rough and finish grading, drainage, and site prep that leaves a pad ready for the next trade.
Design-build
Bring Ironclad in early and let the crew that will move the dirt help plan how it moves — fewer surprises, tighter schedule.
Commercial & industrial sitework
The larger, more technical jobs — the work that earned a national award — alongside residential and building-trades support.
Scope shown reflects Ironclad’s stated services; the live site would list your exact capabilities and specialties.
Get found for “excavating near me”
The towns a new site would put you on the map for.

Proposed target towns Confirm your area
Each town becomes a real page Google can rank — part of the “Found on Google” work in the proposal.
Family-owned
Run by Junior & Jennifer Geiger.
Ironclad has been the Geiger family’s business since 1978 — Junior in the field, Jennifer as president — on a road in Roanoke that literally carries the family name. When you hire Ironclad, you’re hiring the people whose name is on the door.

The proposal
A real website for Ironclad — done for you, not by you.
Everything above is a live concept, not a template. Here’s what it costs to make it yours, anchored against what the market charges. This is a labeled estimate — the exact number is confirmed on a 15-minute call.
One-time build + care plan
- Custom, mobile-first site — the design you see here
- Every service, your real photos, your reviews wired in
- Local SEO for your towns + Google Business Profile setup
- Then a care plan from $49/mo — hosting, edits, updates, security
All-in monthly
- Same custom site, nothing up front
- Hosting, SSL, backups, edits, and support included
- 12-month minimum, then cancel anytime
- The whole thing, handled — you run the excavator, we run the site
For comparison: local agencies charge $3,000–$6,000 to build, managed website services run $299–$450/mo, and marketing firms bill $1,100–$2,300+/mo. Every Ironclad build includes a care plan (min. $20/mo) so the site is never left unhosted. Figures are July-2026 market estimates.
Your web address
Your old address is sitting open — let’s grab it back.
Ironclad’s former website address has lapsed and is unregistered right now — meaning anyone could take it. Part of onboarding is securing the right domain in your name. Availability checked 2026-08-03.
Questions about working with us
How much and how long?
From $99/mo with nothing down, or $1,500 to own it outright plus a care plan from $49/mo. Most sites like this go live in about 2–3 weeks once we have your photos and details.
Do I own the site, or am I renting it?
Your call. The one-time build is yours to keep. The monthly plan bundles the build into a subscription — lower commitment, everything handled. Either way the domain is registered in your name.
What does the monthly actually cover?
Hosting, SSL, backups, uptime monitoring, security, and ongoing edits — new services, new photos, price or hours changes. You email, we update.
What if I already have a domain?
You own ironcladexc.com for email — we can point it at the new site or set up a matching web address. Your old ironcladexcavating.com is open again; we can reclaim it for you.
Can I cancel?
Yes — the monthly plan has a 12-month minimum, then it’s cancel-anytime. No long lock-in.

The design system
Here’s the system we’d build you.
Every color, typeface, and detail on this page is deliberate — drawn from what Ironclad actually is: iron, earth, and heavy equipment.
Palette — iron, earth & safety amber
Dark iron base, warm earth mids, one hi-viz amber for the machine.
Type — heavy display + mono spec
Grotesk body for readability, mono for survey-style labels. Numbers carry the page.
Motif — dimension & grade lines
Survey stakes and cut/fill lines — excavation is moving earth by the numbers.
Brand mark concept Concept to refine together
IRONCLAD
A machined shield + grade-line mark. If you have an existing logo, we feature it instead.
