"Eli and his workers were referred to me by one of my coworkers who hired him recently for his remodeling project at his house. He was very happy with the work that they did and he recommend them to anyone he knows that looking for a contractor regarding to any remodeling project. The bathroom that they did at my house have a complete new look and is now more functional and easy to use. While they were working, I noticed how clean, neat, pleasant to talk to and helpful. My remodeling project was to expand the bathroom into the laundry room and guest bath while keeping the laundry as well but in different shape. Eli was able to provide original and reasonable results while keeping it on budget."

"Tom, the owner, did a wonderful job. It's the best service we've ever had with any kind of contractor. We've just been amazed.  There was no issue about coming back to tweak things and get them just right because the job was so big.  They really almost got it all nailed the first time which is unusual for a 1/2 acre.  I also got other bids."

"I would definitely recommend Thomas Parks.  He and his team arrived on time, and completed the job of cleaning my gutters in a most professional and respectful manner.  Mr. Parks explained to me in detail all of what he would be doing and why.  He even went above and beyond.  (Note: It was Mr. Parks who originally installed some of my ground gutters more than a decade ago.)
After doing business with Mr. Parks that day, I hired him to do my Roof Waterproofing with Kool-Seal Coating.  Again, I was very pleased with Mr. Parks' work.  I would enthusiastically hire him again for future work on my house.  In fact, he and I have talked about putting a new roof on my shed out back.  Thank you, Thomas Parks.  I look forward to working with you again soon.

"Absolutely In love with the work that was done at my place! The result was even better then i had imagined, I had my bathroom and kitchen done. I have always been terrified of contractors as in the past I was ripped off, but this is not the case they communicated with me every step of the way and made this an enjoyable experience for me. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to remodel or have work done in there home! Thank you again to US Home Developers Inc you guys did an incredible job"

"From meeting a staffmember in their showroom, to having a rep. come out and discuss a plan/take measurements/write out a contract, to the first crew that took down the old cover, to the next crew that installed a new patio cover/awning, to the final detail crew, and finally the owner, Jeff, coming out to inspect, all went very well. They did excellent work, were ontime, cleaned up, and left us with a very nice new alumawood patio cover and awning. Would recommend this company to anyone."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

Septic drain lines (or leach lines) are typically buried between 18 and 36 inches underground, and should be at least 6 inches below the surface. These pipes are perforated and surrounded by filtering materials like sand or gravel. Burying the lines at this depth helps minimize odors and allows bacteria and other biological processes in the soil to effectively treat the wastewater. Burying lines too close to the surface can cause issues unless the soil is very compact and stable.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.
