Installation: 2 men arrived at 9:30 a.m. on a nasty, snowy weather day, and left at 4:30 p.m.. They worked straight through the day, took no breaks though a few would have been deserved, and did a fantastic job. They did not scuff the woodwork, dent or mark up the walls. This was on a second floor so they cut out the old stuff, hauled it down steps and hauled the new pad and carpet up, a very challenging path, again, without damaging anything. The carpet appears to be installed perfectly, all cuts precise, all seams hidden.

They finally came out in early November. The area was expecting a cold spell to begin the next week & last for a while. So they repaired the line on a Friday. I was to fill the dirt back in the next day, but noticed in the morning that the dirt hole had filled with water. Scooped it all out, and noticed a leak at one of the fitting junctions. Knowing that a hard freeze was coming, I had to take all the fittings apart, tighten the loose joint, and put it back together myself. Could not wait for them to "schedule me in" as before. Had to get the dirt backfilled for insulation. So I called them Monday, and explained the situation, asking for a small refund on the job cost (paid to them on Friday). Was told by the receptionist they would "call me back". Did not happen. Waited a week. Called again. Same lack of reply. Then, a third call. Still no response. Time for an Angie's List review.

Kyle and his crew were very helpful and professional. He was flexible in when he could get the job done and very responsive to questions. It was a bigger job than anticipated but they moved our sump pit, filled in the old one with concrete and even hauled away all of the old paneling, sink,...

Very well. They estimated 4 days to do the job but they finished it in 3 days. Cleaned up any mess ( saw dust or dirt) right away. The saleman was very nice and explained everything and was true to his word. He didn't use any high pressure tactics.

Mark and his team quickly removed all of the old fence and hauled it all away and cleaned it all up. They custom built all of the fence with lattice along the top. This included complex diagonal sections. Everything was expertly done with only the best components. All the lattice panels match...

Cole Knecht came out promptly after I asked for an estimate - the estimate wasn't dirt cheap, but the project was pretty involved with more than 10 posts that needed rebuilt, an entire new gate, some panelling, and 8 of those posts were buried 20" deep in asphalt surrounded by concrete....

Sales: We found Jason to be very helpful in guiding us to narrow our choices in terms of carpet quality, pad quality, carpet style and color. He came to the house within a day and took measurements and upon seeing the wall and baseboard colors helped us make a final decision on color. ...

"Knocked out concrete foundation that had been there for years. Sloped out the ground and tilled up dirt so it would be reseedable in the spring. Very good price and quality of work. Also leveled another area for above ground pool. I would highly recommend H&H."

Ask about our new "Trenchless" Excavation Services. What is "Trenchless" Excavation you ask? Well, it is most typically associated with the machine you see above. It is most notably used for installing poly pipe in the ground to install fiber optic Internet service. But...the drill doesn't care what it pulls back so it can be used for water, sewer, electric, and gas to get under roads, paved driveways, or just to keep from tearing up your yard. Maybe you have surface drainage or a lawn sprinkler system and don't want to damage it to install a new utility. No matter the reason, we now have another option to get you the end result you want or need. Also, partnering with our sister company Bowsher IT Solutions, we are able to build campus fiber projects or just get communication between buildings with the fastest option and least invasive approach! Feel free to check out all they have to offer on their website bowsherit.com.

"My family experienced water and wind damage earlier this year. We had to be placed in a hotel. After reaching out to numerous companies, we chose Maynor construction. I am glad we did!! If it wasnâ t for Maynor and his staff, I wouldnâ t have made it. The process was long and depressing because of being away from home. However Maynor and his staff reassured me. They showed patience with me and worked hand and hand with my insurance company with getting my home repaired in a timely manner. Thank you Maynor! I truly feel like we are family!"

Family owned business with over 8 years of experience handling Drain Pipe Installation - Exterior- Excavating - Remodeling-
"Initially it started off very well. We wanted a large pond put in that was not an eye sore and would serve our livestock. I wish there was a little more guidance and recommendations as we don't know the ins and outs of pond building. Initial test holes were dug which confirmed the project was possible and would hold water. There was no communication with the well installation team to ensure appropriate water flow into the pond. Once that was figured out the pond only holds about 1/3 of water with a well running 24/7. Reached back out to Alec see if we could troubleshoot the issue and get it fixed. Informed Alec that we were more than happy to pay more but just wanted a finished product. We planned a date and now haven't heard from him in over 1 month. Multiple texts and phone calls with no response. The communication is the most frustrating part about this whole project. Would not use this contractor again even though the big expensive hole in the ground we have is "pretty"."

FAQs for dirt hauling projects in Lafayette, IN
The kinds of items or materials accepted will vary by hauling company. Some companies will not handle hazardous waste, but hiring ones that do will cost from $5 to $100 or more, depending on what type and quantity of material.
Most companies will haul items such as:
Construction and remodeling waste: $100–$600
Appliances: $50–$600
Furniture: $50–$400
Electronics: $60–$200
Yard waste: $70–$500
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The cost to hire a professional junk hauling service ranges from $60 to $600, averaging about $270. Your final price is determined by the type of junk, amount of junk, the distance to the dumpsite, and the equipment required to move and haul your items or materials. Keep in mind that construction junk removal is more expensive than hauling household items, so expect to pay $800 for removing large piles of debris.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
