"I contacted Travers to have a chimney removed, some general demo (walls brought down to the studs) and a large amount of yard work (clearing a largely overgrown yard) on a home I recently purchased. With a large amount of work to tune up this house in a short window leading up to summer, time was of the essence. I spoke with Alex in their office several times leading up to the work. She was extremely helpful and responsive. She helped coordinate some of Mike's time for an estimate. While I initially called exclusively about removal of the chimney, the scope of the job grew after talking to Mike and understanding all the work they could do. After agreeing on full scope and price, Mike was able to schedule my job in on less than a weeks notice. I met the team day 1 at the house where they arrived right on time. All the guys on the team were friendly, professional and instilled confidence. I was shocked at how fast the progress was on the chimney. Day 2 the focus shifted to the yard while some of the team was still doing work in the house. They moved at break neck speed yet methodically and highly coordinated. They left after two days - There wasn't a single scratch on the old hardwoods I was hoping to preserve despite moving TONS of brick and mortar where the hearth once sat. They leveled the yard everywhere they removed trees and bushes with only patches of no grass being the only evidence work had even been done. They also patched the roof, somehow match up the pattern of a 20 or so year old roof so it appears a chimney never existed. I had never worked with Travers before and reviews online were the only reference I had to go on in hire them. I was cautiously optimistic they were the right company, but then they blew away my expectations! I will absolutely leverage them again for future jobs and strongly encourage others to call Travers as well. If your job needs to be done in a timely fashion and you want to maintain quality - this is the company to call."

"Diego and his crew did a great job! This was a large 1,200 square foot patio area renovation that included a paver patio, pea gravel patio, grass (sod), cobblestones and a new privacy fence. I then hired him to mulch the property (20 yards). He came when he said he would, cleaned up and got the whole project done in a little over a week. Highly recommend!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

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.
