"I was very pleased with the work Bill and his crew did. All were very pleasant and professional. They were able to do a final cleanup from over the winter, removing all sticks and leaves. Following that They weeded, raked, installed edging, applied and spread mulch. Did a final cleanup of the mulch, driveway and walk areas before leaving. Very happy with the job they did. I would recommend this company and I would hire them again."

"My request started off as a simple drywall repair. After speaking with Lisa, we decided to hire them to also paint ceilings and walls in the living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, master bedroom, and hall. We also had a couple new ceiling fans we wanted installed, and Mike did a fantastic job with the electrical work. They went above and beyond any expectation we had. In spite of minor setbacks with the home improvement store we were dealing with, Mike and Lisa continued with a positive attitude. They even put up with our three dogs! And Lisa actually chased one of them down when she got out. Their attention to detail is second to none, and their level of communication was the highest. I can't say enough about D'Amico Construction. Not only would I recommend them highly, but my dogs loved them, too. Hire them. You will not be disappointed."

"They called to set up appt. and were very courteous and professional. The day of the service call they emailed and phone to see if we could do it earlier (as we were worried) and they met us to do the inspection. They were thorough and they determined it was not a sewer issue. The service call (reasonable priced) was well worth our peace of mind. They did NOT try to sell us extra services or inspections we didn't need. We'd call them again with an issue in a heartbeat. Highly recommended from a customer service perspective."

"Espinoza Junk removal got rid of my old fence waste and cleared all the debris from my back yard. They did it pretty fast and efficiently which was highly appreciated since I only gave them a 2 day notice since I was throwing a Super Bowl party at my home. They left my back yard spot less. High recommend these hard working guys !"

"They were hired to demo a shed that was falling apart and to dismantle an enclosure around a car port that was warping. They did a great job, cleaned up after themselves and did a little more by ripping out 4 overgrown shrubs at my request for a great price."

Yes, most services include site leveling and foundation work. Confirm with your contractor for specifics.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

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.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.
