"The Litaker family and their workers did an awesome job on our newly purchased home in Searcy. We knew it needed a lot of work, especially outside. I dreaded the process of hiring contractors to do the renovation because of all the bad things I hear about contractors not showing up, doing shotty work, lack of communication, etc. After getting quotes from them and meeting them, we decided to use them over others we'd interviewed. They were the whole package and could do anything/everything so we didn't have to deal with multiple contractors to achieve our end goal. Their supply quotes (for new windows, paint, roofing shingles, etc) turned out to be very accurate and they stuck by their labor quotes as well. They installed all new windows, replaced rotten batten boards, painted the entire outside, installed new posts on a wrap around porch, waterproofed a balcony on the 2nd floor and added railing for safety, and installed a new roof on the 1.5 story home. They worked! They didn't hang around shooting the breeze! Rarely ever took any kind of break even for lunch. They actually showed up every day they were scheduled and were very easy to communicate with via telephone and text. The also offered advice on how to save money on our ideas which changed a few of our plans for the better. This was about a 3-4 week project to finalize. We have a few inside projects in the future and we will certainly hire them to come back when we are ready. Lastly, we really enjoyed their personalities. The crew was very personable =)"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

After you successfully remove your boulder, you have a few options for what to do to get rid of it. You can rent a dumpster if your yard has many boulders or if you’re planning a larger project. You can even save the boulder and reuse it elsewhere on your property to save on landscaping costs. A few ideas include using the boulder as a natural, abstract statue, breaking it into smaller pieces to line your garden bed, or offering it to a landscaping company that could reuse it for another project.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.
