"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."

"This is the second review I am writing for RainforestLA in reference to a second job they have just completed for my wife and I. We can now confidently say that our backyard is now the most aesthetically pleasing part of our house, as well as the most enjoyable part in which to spend time, thanks to the beautiful work done by Yosef and his guys at RainforestLA. They produced quality work quickly. As has been our experience, Yosef kept us up-to-date with daily progress reports. Because of our earlier experience with the company, we felt free to trust their suggestions and my wife and I are, once again, extremely grateful to RainforestLA for transforming our backyard into the perfect place to lounge. We plan on hiring them again, and cannot recommend enough."

"Brian did an excellent job.. He was was extremely professional, reliable and his prices were reasonable. He picked up and moved a new couch for me. It was very heavy and had to brought into my home through a difficult and small entranceway. He also removed and disposed of my old couch and a huge box. He was a pro! Also, he added my job on at short notice and at the end of his very full work day. I couldnâ t have asked for a better company to help me. I highly recommend BRG Properties, Inc."

"I received 3 bids for this project.  From the very first interview with Roei, a partner I was impressed with his ability to advise on some ideas to save money and make the kitchen more efficient, he was very professional and never pushed me.   I hired him to start 7/31/13, he quoted 2 weeks, and it was completed in 2 weeks, and the cost was as quoted.   This was one of the best renovation experiences I have had in the 40 yrs I have lived in this house.   All the workers, were polite, on time, cleaned up after, and did really good work.  I would hire Best Builders again for any home projects and recommend them highly to anyone else looking for a good experience in renovating any part of their home.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

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.

Dumpsters work best on hard, study, and level surfaces made of asphalt, stone, or concrete. If the surface is uneven or too soft, the dumpster could get stuck or tip over when filled. Keep in mind that you must obtain a dumpster permit to keep it on a city street in many areas.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain.
