"Efrain responded quickly, showed up when he said he would, explained how he would fix the retaining wall (including adding drainage so no future problems arose) and was very communicative. He completed the job when he said he would and it looks wonderful. I would wholeheartedly recommend him based on my experience. Rarely do I find it enjoyable to work with someone on home repair, but he was excellent!"

"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

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.
