Mitchell Carter
Mitchell Carter didn't build Downtown Underground on marketing copy and slick brochures. He built it on two decades of getting in the pit and doing the work — from two-inch residential crossings to large-diameter interstate casing installations.
As the founder and active owner-operator of DTU, Mitchell is personally involved in estimating, planning, and overseeing every project. When you call the DTU number, there's a damn good chance Mitchell picks up. That's the level of ownership he brings to this business.
Starting in Central Florida and working the market from Jacksonville to Tampa, Mitchell established DTU as one of the most trusted and most competitive road boring operations in the state. Now he's taking that same focus south and east — building the Southeast's most capable boring sub out of a company he can be proud of.
Mitchell's approach is simple: price it right, run it clean, and make sure the contractor wants to call you for the next job. That philosophy has kept DTU's phone ringing for over twenty years, through boom markets and slow ones.
Our Core Values
Quality Without Compromise
Every bore is a permanent installation. We run it right the first time. No shortcuts, no re-dos, no leaving a mess behind for the next contractor to deal with.
Competitive Pricing
We want to be your lowest responsible bid. We've built efficiency into our operation so we can pass savings on without cutting corners on equipment or safety.
Speed & Reliability
A bore estimate in 24 hours. Equipment that shows up when we say it will. Crews that hit their production targets. We know contractors run on tight schedules.
Accountability
If something goes wrong, Mitchell handles it personally. No corporate shield. No runaround. The guy who runs the company is the same guy who answers for the work.
Safety First
OSHA-compliant operations, underground utility locates before every bore, proper shoring, and trained crews. We go home safe and we make sure the site is safe when we leave.
Customer Longevity
We don't chase one-time bids. We build contractor relationships. Our customers keep calling because we keep earning it — every single project.
Licensed. Bonded. Accountable.
DTU carries all required licensing, bonding, and insurance to operate on public rights-of-way across Florida and in the Southeast states. We maintain DOT compliance on all highway crossings.
