"Before I did this review I called this company multiple times to try to resolve my issue. Never did anyone ever call me back. I had worked with Nathan K. during the repipe due to some issue with how they performed the repipe. He corrected my issue and I was happy with the finished look. At the same time they were repiping my home the HVAC unit went out 10/6/2024. I asked if they would give a quote to replace this unit ($10,145.00) I approved to replace it. This is where the problems have been going forward with HVAC system. Whom ever installed the my system was not experienced or just had poor workmanship (per second HVAC company opinion). First issue was in December 2024 I got a power bill for my vacant home that was still being repaired from my slab leak for almost $400.00. I called Her and His about this. Nathan K. Called me and said they were no longer in the HVAC service since my install (This is not my problem its HER and His). He hired another company to come out and correct the installation mistake (apparently emergency heat would never cut off once the heat pump shut off). He never told me what they did to correct it. I asked him the help me with the $400.00 power bill since it was their fault. He said he would but never did anything about it. Going forward to September 2025. I have been try to sell or lease my home for 9 months (so no one is living in my home) with no luck. Finally I have a lease on it. The clients move in and start using HVAC system. 4 days later they call and said there is a water leaking up in my garage and back bed room floors. You can imagine how I feel at this point I got a sick feeling in my stomach (My I remind you I spent over $23,000 dollars with Her and His Plumbing to repair my home). We figured the leak was coming from HVAC system (This system is only 11 months old). So I called another HVAC company to come out. They found out the system was under charged with freon and the system was freezing up causing excessive condensation flow which flowed over the drip pan. Also they found ducting is not properly sealed at the supply plenum with no mastic tape, the platform was not leveled (this caused my floors to get wet) and NO PERMIT WAS PULLED FOR THE INSTALL OF HVAC TO LAKE COUNTY. We did do a permit for plumbing. What I want is accountability from this company to pay and fix my unit correctly? I have been patiently waiting for someone from this company to call but guess they got their money and they going to screw me. I am beyond ****** right now. The right thing to do is fix my issues ASAP. FYI, I am not going to let this go!!!!!!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don’t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can’t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge.

Most municipalities require excavation permits for any significant digging, especially if the excavation affects utilities or public property. However, permits for excavation depend on your local government and the scope of the project. Hire an experienced contractor for your excavation job so that they can be the ones to deal with permitting, not you. 

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.
