"ReThink completed our project amazingly. We had ReThink remodel half of our main floor. We turned an office and unused “front room” space into a perfect master suit. Our very unique home offered many challenges that the ReThink team was able to effectively work through and problem solve. They completed our project on time and within budget. The attention to detail exemplifies their professionalism and creates a beautiful product that they, and we, can be proud of. Their focus on customer satisfaction is evident in their performance and in their communication. We would definitely ask them to complete other projects!"

Rothgery & Sons LLC is a small, owner-operated company with 2-5 seasonal employees. Our goal is to provide excellent customer service and keep our clients for years to come. We offer free estimates and advice on your projects, whether you use us or not!

"We have used Rothgery & Sons for snow removal at our Blue River vacation home for the past 5 years which includes plowing the driveway and shoveling the walkway. Few services in the area provide shoveling services, and Dave and his crews not only provide this service, but they use heavy equipment for the plow work (not just a blade to push the snow), so we've never needed to have another service do a haul-out when the pile gets too large. They are incredibly reliable, even during big storms. I am about to renew my contract with them for the upcoming season for the sixth year in a row."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Trenches are 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the right depth for your trench will depend on the nature of your project. For example, if you’re digging a trench as part of a French drain installation, it should be 18 inches deep. An excavation professional can explain how deep your trench should be.

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.

The answer may vary based on where you live. Residential sewer lines are generally buried 5 feet to 6 feet under the ground. However, it's not uncommon to see pipes buried as deep as 8 feet in colder climates in order to ensure that piping is placed below the freeze line. Digging depth could impact your sewer line replacement cost.
