"I am a fellow small business owner. And due to COVID 19 quarantine, my virtual office closed for months. I acquired a small garden shed for my back yard/ land to convert into a temporary home office until. Well, I needed a picture window that I found at a local salvage yard installed. Needless to say I contacted many local contractors who either said my job was too small. Or they were not working due to the lock down. This through my business off. And caused me to lose time, customers and money. This was due to a lack of finishing the interior of the shed. After calling home advisor and being referred to RAFF Construction, they not only promptly arrived and did excellent service IN A RAINSTORM, they installed two additional windows for us. They NEVER made my small job feel LESS important. And they followed up to make sure we were pleased. These guys SAVED my business. And in turn saved my life. I couldn't be more pleased. I will definitely be using them for all of my future construction jobs."

"Ben is very professional. He follows through with his promises, returns phone calls and shows up when he says he will. He did a great job re-grading my front yard and getting it ready to be seeded for grass."

"I couldn’t have asked to hire a better company for the job. I told them what I wanted and they brought the picture in my head to life even down to the slightest detail. The owner Colby is very good at communicating and explains everything down to a t. I would highly recommend them to anyone no matter how big the job is!!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

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.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

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 digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.
