He treated our property as if it was his own."

Karibu Contractors LLC was formed in February 2005 as a Home Improvement Corporation dedicated to private and residential design and construction. With our specialized knowledge and experience in renovations and additions, our primary operations range from single-family and multi-family dwellings to commercial buildings. Our clients and projects are diverse and are located locally and as far north as Boston. Our dedication to a holistic approach towards the services we provide offers an alternative to traditional Home Improvement Corporations. We do not employ a standard formula approach to any project; each client/project is treated uniquely and with equal intensity and care.

"The project was supposed to take seven days according to the contract, and one month later, it has barely moved. The paint job in the bedroom was fine, in the bathroom it was terrible. He claims that workmanship is to be performed to the highest industry standard, but: (1) he does not know how to read blueprints; (2) he does not know that 84" and 7' are the same length; (3) and he does not know how to finish any project. He started the painting, and the shower, and the cabinets, etc., but not one job was actually finished. Now we have to pay to have someone come in and redo most of his work. He does not take any pride in his work and the job site is a mess. Do NOT use him."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.
