"Absolutely love how my bathroom remodel turned out! The team at Shepherd Contracting was super professional and made the whole process so easy. They worked fast but didn’t cut any corners, and everything looks amazing. Communication was great the whole way through, and they actually stuck to the timeline (which never happens with renovations lol). Plus, they kept everything really clean, which I totally appriciated. If you’re thinking about remodeling, I 100% recommend them!"

"I called PDW on a Wednesday late afternoon. I was pleased to have someone answer my call, instead of having to leave a message on an automated system, and hope that someone would call back. I explained my issue, PDW was at my house the next day at 7:30 AM. They were responsive, quick, and professional. Thank you PDW, I will be using you guys for future jobs."

"Gene is very straightforward about what he can do, also with great knowledge on the task at hand. Gene and Jeff arrived early and then went right to work. Had me go out and see if things were as I wanted them. They finished the job in a timely manner and very professional in the way they handled themselves. Thanks again Gene and Jeff! Chuck Cupples"

"VERY EXPENSIVE; VERY GOOD; you get what you pay for Had water leak in ABS piping connection in bathroom. Fixed it very nicely. I was a somewhat upset that their quote over phone was round $400 but final charge was $816.08; I had emailed them extensive description and multiple photos so they could provide more accurate estimate since they do not do free estimates though I realize they found some other issues they had to fix that were not apparent in my description and photos. I was also upset that the impression they gave me was only one plumber would do the job but he showed up with a trainee and charged me for trainee time also. I will use them again only for involved or complex jobs. They are too expensive for simple plumbing jobs such as toilet install or faucet install."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.
