"It was horrible. His equipment tore up my yard. He would not give me a written contract but instead only gave me verbal quotes (which he then raised the price). He waited months to do the job and then ended up dropping my swim spa with his equipment. After promising to get my spa fixed, I ended up having to pay for it ($2000) because he stopped returning my calls and messages. I have now had to get my lawyer involved. Do not hire his company under any circumstances. You will regret it."

"We gave Erick $8000 to do a porch remodel including windows and heating and cooling. Cashed our check, came out and tore the place up and haven't seen him since. DO NOT hire this man to do any work. I know of two other people that he's taken money from in excess of $30,000 (not including the 8K he got from us)."

My company thrives on getting our jobs done on the scheduled time aloud We do not use sub-contractors, we use our own professional employees We accept all major credit cards Senior citizens discount and 10% off for first time customers 3 year warranty automatically on labor + manufacturers warranty licensed , bonded , insured 24 hr service calls accepted

"Received a reasonably priced quote to update all plumbing and electrical. His pricing was way too expensive for simple carpentry and drywall. So, I did not accept his bid for that portion of the project. His pricing included permits though he only purchased the permit for the electrical work. Because his plumbing subcontractor quit on him last minute walking into my project. I was never informed of this. Drains were not sealed appropriately and I was having to hire other plumbers to come back in and rework all of the issues Mike Derickson and his crew at "Built Wright Construction" caused. He was never on time and caused my Drywallers schedule issues pushing the complete time line further out than expected. He nickle and dimed was should have been part of his pricing quote and even told me the city was requiring me to complete a new water service to the house. I told him I could not afford that and he said he would talk to the inspector "they were good friends" so that the project could move forward. HE DIDN'T PURCHASE A PERMIT! SO, what Inspector was he going to make good with. By the time the project was completed he had caused me to spend $5,000 more on "new code" BS. Don't hire this guy...RUN!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

This depends on your location. Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep. People in colder climates will have deeper sewer lines than people in warmer climates due to the dangers of the frost line and freezing pipes. Permits are required for all aspects of septic system installation, so the city should have the building plans for your system, which will tell you how deep your lines are.

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.
