I've been doing home repair for more than 10 years. I've seen the ins and outs of building from the ground up. My skills are mainly focused in carpentry and finish work. I have worked all over the panhandle, just making repairs along the way. Let me get your house back to how you want it!

"Just wow! I could not have hired a better crew. Our house looks amazing. They did such a great job at a reasonable cost, the neighbors hired them too. I can't say enough about these talented guys. They showed up on time, were very professional. They used Behr stain that is warrantied for 25 years. It looks gorgeous.

I look forward to hiring this crew again for future projects. They went above and beyond all expectations. Highly recommend this company.

"Repeat customers! Last week we had Andy and Brian over to install a tankless water heater and a filtration system. Our water heater exploded and we were so happy with the septic service they did, we brought them back. Now today they are here replacing ALL the pipes under our house. We couldn't be happier with their approach, honesty and hard work ethic. Next up will be two bathroom remodels. Andy and Brian are basically family now!"

"10/10 recommend Competitive Construction LLC. Very humble and kind crew who work hard to get the job done quickly and efficiently! They excavated a tree looming over my house, helped me with my yard's terrible flooding issue, and installed a gravel driveway all in no time."

"Fast and professional crew! Came out on time, cleared several acres of land for me and made it look great! Property was clear of any debris when they left. They also graded the area nicely so it wouldn’t wash out. Trees and brush were hauled away quickly by them and they worked around what I wanted done. Would hire again."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.
