"Quick response with quote, which was really reasonable. They were able to complete the project right away. I had them remove glued down wood flooring, which is really difficult. A couple hours after they arrived the area was cleaned and ready for install. Will hire again for other projects."

"I recently hired Pro Bright Construction to remodel my bathroom, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their work. The team was punctual, respectful, and highly skilled. They took the time to listen to my ideas and offered expert suggestions to enhance the design. The project was completed on time and within budget, which was a huge relief. They kept the work area tidy and made sure to minimize disruption to the rest of the house. I’m beyond thrilled with the final result. If you’re considering a remodel, I highly recommend Pro Bright Construction."

"When Jose came over, I thought I was dealing with a simple clogged tub. But after a thorough inspection — including camera footage and detailed explanations — he showed me the real issue: severely rusted and narrowed pipes, blocked over time by calcium and debris. It was far more serious than I expected, and honestly, something I couldn’t afford to fully replace, because 2 of my family members passed and I was financially depleted. But here’s the part that makes Jose so special: he approached the situation with genuine compassion, patience, and care. He didn’t just see a job — he saw a person who was struggling, and he went above and beyond to help me in a way that was fair and kind. His empathy truly moved me. If you need a plumber who is not only skilled and professional but also deeply human — someone who shows up when you feel like no one else will — I wholeheartedly recommend Jose. He is reliable, honest, and the kind of person you’ll be grateful to have in your corner."

"Our roof was in bad shape and we needed to have it replaced. I had gotten estimates and decided to go with Home Pro Remodeling. Emil and Brian were our contact people for the project. Emil was very professional and paid attention to our concerns. He worked with us through the entire project to our complete satisfaction. Brian is extremely courteous and helpful as well! The project went very smoothly, was completed before the initial project end date, and the results were beyond our expectations. The job turned our beautifully! Our new roof looks FANTASTIC! Our neighbors have commented to us how great it looks. We are very pleased with our experience with Home Pro Remodeling and would definitely recommend them."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

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.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.
