"Highly Recommend T&K Builders We could not be more impressed with our experience with T&K Builders. From the beginning, Terry and his team were attentive, punctual, respectful, and professional. Terry personally walked us through the entire process from start to finish, including the design and material selections for our two-story, approximately 8,000-square-foot barndominium. Because we have a farm, we had some very specific needs. Automotive and RV parking were extremely important to us, along with a large, functional mudroom because we are constantly dealing with mud and farm traffic. Terry listened to what we wanted and helped design the space around how our family would actually use it. He and his team also continually worked with us to manage costs and offered different options when there were opportunities to save money without sacrificing the overall quality of the project. One of the things that impressed us most was the communication and oversight throughout the en"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.
