"This contractor showed up and did the work when they said they would. Their work was thorough and I was pleased with the end product so much so that I asked them for additional estimates for other concrete work I had in mind. When they gave me the estimate for these other concrete work, they requested an additional $3,000 above their estimate to cover losses on the original job. They requested this without any sort of backup that itemized their losses. In the course of performing the original work that I hired them to do, they never mentioned that they under bid the job and was losing money. If they had, I might've been open to some sort of negotiations. Instead they decided to just arbitrarily add it on the next project without any sort of justifications. Based on this, I cannot recommend this contractor even though I was satisfied with their work."

"Jon and his team were extremely prompt, professional and wonderful to work with. We were always comfortable with them in our home and they went above and beyond to provide cleanliness and comfort during the entire process. From the design process to the finished product, it was the best experience I could have ever imagined. I really appreciate Jon’s honesty, integrity, and diversity of experience from practical to polished options. I’m over the moon about my remodel!"

"The painter was a sub-contractor to All Pro Services. The quote we agreed to with All Pro showed work that the painter did not agree with so constant renegotiations occurred throughout the project. Painter did not allow enough time to complete the quoted job so had to paint late at night to be able to meet their next scheduled job. The painter painted the entire interior of the house with a 9" mini-roller using a paint tray so work seemed time consuming. Would not use a ladder, so all high work was done with an extension handle including a brush attachment for the trim work. Coverage was adequate but several places on the ceiling were missed altogether. Did not provide their own drop cloths. All Pro owner and sub-contractor were very nice people but skill-wise the painter was not what we consider to be a professional painter. All Pro inspected the job and saw the problem areas and said they would call the painter back again if we wanted him to. We chose to redo ceiling areas and some of the trim errors ourselves."

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.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.
