"Mike, Stetson, and Matthew did such a great job communication the best I ever had with contractors. The tree removal and the stump removal were not easy. Stetson and his guy did an amazing job? the site was leveled, cleaned and all debris removed I seriously highly recommend the Travers company I look forward to using them again. Wish they could install insulation :) KDLxxxxxx 12/2024"

"ENTECH did an oil tank removal for me which is a multi step process with the town and EPA and heavy equipment. It was buried in my front lawn with plantings all around it and oil left in the tank. In the middle, covid 19 shut down the procedure for two months. They handled all the paperwork and headaches. They couldn t have done a more professional job. They did a perfect job of staging the excavation so there was no damage to lawn and plantings. They handled all the delays, rescheduling, and paperwork. They kept their very fair price. I think ENTECH is probably the best contractor I ever hired."

"John communicated very well during the whole job and always asked if we were happy. He has the skill and ability to do the level of detail a custom deck requires. He and his crew were always here when they said they would be and they finished the job on time. My new composite deck looks great and we would definitely hire this pro again. The neighbors watched what he can do and have also asked John to price their home improvement projects."

Customers say: Quick response

"We hired John Fougere after another recommended landscaper withdrew from the project at the planning stage. The lot of land is challenging with serious slopes. We had new construction going on, were new to Chatham, and didn't know who to rely on. We interviewed a few landscapers who made it sound like the task at hand was no big deal. John was the only one who advised he was interested but was honest about his upcoming schedule and noted he could work with us but we would have to be patient. We appreciated his honesty and hired him! Absolutely NO REGRETS! As promised, John tackled the job in stages and started with the areas that were most important to us. As our move in date approached, he concentrated on the things we needed to feel at home, like our patio and steps. John and his staff are professional, dedicated, talented, and most importantly, there is no doubt they take pride in their work. After conferring with us, John selected and planted trees and shrubs. He led his crew in creating two gorgeous patios, a front walkway and steps. He graded parts of the property as needed and added steps in sloped areas. He expertly installed an irrigation system and sod, and also mulched planting beds. I hope I have not forgotten anything. The job is not yet complete but we are close, and I swear I will miss them on a professional and personal level. We recommend John and his crew without hesitation. This is an independant review. We have no connection to John other than our connection through this project. We would hire him again in a heartbeat!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

Errors in site preparation can lead to structural failures or appear costly midway. Professionals ensure detailed, reliable home base development layouts.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.
