I’m a creative, detail-oriented handyman and problem solver who enjoys turning ideas into practical, finished projects. I specialize in landscape projects, improving both indoor and outdoor spaces, excavation, property improvements, building and repair work, junk removal, transport and delivery services of items up to 10,000 lbs, handyman work and general repairs, and more. Clients tell me I have a knack for finding smart, low-cost solutions that make a space look better, function better, and add value without unnecessary expense. Whether it’s hanging pictures and lights, building something from scratch, improving a yard or curb appeal, or figuring out a creative solution to a challenging project, I take pride in doing quality work and paying attention to the details. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful service and leave every project looking much better than when I started.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.

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.

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.
