"Raff Inc. is the best of the best! Jerry is an honest and hardworking man as well as his crew! They replaced all my cedar siding with the hardy board as well as replaced my shutters, added fascia boarding, and installed a new door with sidelights. Jerry has also come out for complete small projects such as the roofing and deck on my childs playhouse, hung a swing on my porch that was not installed correctly by someone else, and even fixed a fascia board for free that was sticking out due to storms. Jerry pays close attention to detail and gives 110%. I receive compliments daily on my home by neighbors who always inquire about who remodeled our home. He has done work for others in my neighborhood. Planning to have Jerry come up and install flooring in my kitchen soon. So glad we found him! Worth every penny!"

Hello, My name is Jacob Stevens I run a few businesses and the best way to describe my main job is inventor/scientist as my main job. I got into this because I kept helping people with handy man like tasks and decided I might as well do it as a side thing. Handyman tasks are something I generally enjoy doing and seems to be needed in our area. I am very detailed oriented and can solve any problems given enough time and budget. When given a task I prefer to do It fast and efficient before moving on to another task but I am able to multitask very well. Thank you for reading this and I hope you have a great day.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
