"From start to finish dealing with King Level Construction and Luis was a pleasure. The job was completed as planned and we are pleased. It was a smaller job on some very old concrete work. He worked with us in a pleasant and professional manner and his fees were within reason. He made some recommendations as to how to repair the wall and didn't push more than what we needed. He and his helper did the job, on a very hot day no less, cleaned up in entirety and left with no mess behind. He takes pride in the job at hand. We would recommend his work and company to anyone looking for this type of work. Any future projects we would not hesitate to use his services again."

"Dave showed up, all 3 days, early (7am) and worked diligently. From time to time, my wife and I had questions regarding how to ideally improve aesthetics (ultimately resale value), Dave would provide detailed responses and patiently answer our amateur questions. When we didn't fully understand he took a minute to explain. From the get-go, Dave was flexible whether in the quoting process or construction phase. If you are like us, who care more about the outcome of the project rather than a fancy uniform, Dave is your excavator. Reasonable, experienced and reliable, we feel confident recommending Dave to our friends and families."

"When we were looking at contractors for our project, we met five contractors and received five estimates.  There were a couple places where Suncrest really stood out.  First, they were the only contractor to provide a detailed estimate that allowed us to see how much each item would cost.  This made it easy for us to determine what things we could do ourselves and what was worth getting their help with.  Second, they were the only contractor to get ALL details of the project right in the estimate.  A lot of other contractors gave us estimates for items never discussed and failed to provide estimates for crucial items.  Third, when we did a walk through with John (Suncrest Builders President), we mentioned we wanted the renovated space to have hardwood floors.  Every other contractor said, "Yes, we can give you hardwood floors".  John was the only one to say, "Why do you want hardwood floors?  You have a concrete slab and hardwood floors wouldn't be the best choice."  We appreciated that he didn't just tell us what we wanted to hear, but instead provided solid advice. 







Through out the project,  Suncrest hired three separate sub-contractors: demolition, concrete, and flooring.  All the subcontractors they used were very clean, efficient, hardworking and professional.  For the demo and concrete, there seemed to be a significant delay in getting the subcontractors to our house.  The demo crew showed up 4 days later than planned.  The concrete crew showed up 3-4 weeks after planned.  The first two tasks of our project were demo and concrete, so at the beginning there were a few weeks where our house was sitting with no work being done.







Suncrest performed the framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, and trim installation with their own staff. Everyone was extremely skilled, detailed orientated, and respectful.  There weren't as many delays to the project when Suncrest's employees were scheduled to work on our house.  Any delays were due to the nature of the project and not because they didn't show up.



 



Through out the project, we had very little difficulty getting ahold of John or Bryan (our Project Manager).  If we didn't get ahold of them the first time, 95% of the time they returned our calls/emails within 24 hours.  This was more than enough communication to make sure we could have our questions answered and feel comfortable with how the project was progressing.







During our project, there were a couple areas where Suncrest really shined.  First, we redid the floors in our kitchen.  The original floors were tile.  The tile needed to be removed and all the grout and tile adhesive had to be removed.  Due to the unexpected difficulty of removing larger pieces of grout, the tile removal took longer than expected, which meant the new floor installation was also delayed.  After Suncrest realized how difficult the tile was to remove, they had everyone at our house making sure EVERYTHING was ready so the flooring installation wasn't delayed any further.  Bryan (Project Manager) was on his hands and knees scraping off the grout vigorously.  Second, we had Suncrest install a light fixture on our home's exterior.  After the first attempt, we were not satisfied with the way the light was installed.  We called Bryan to have him take a look.  He also agreed that it was not acceptable.  The same day, he was out there fixing the light himself until we were satisfied.  By the time he was done, it couldn't have looked more perfect.  In both of these situations, Suncrest showed they will do what it takes to get the job done and will listen to feedback to make sure the end result is perfect for their client.







Overall, our experience with Suncrest was excellent.  We had little difficulty in getting ahold of them when we had questions.  They addressed any concerns we had.  The end product was exactly what we asked for and looks amazing.  There were some delays, but if you look at reviews for other contractors on Angie's List, you'll see that it's incredibly common.  After this experience, I look forward to working with Suncrest again on our future home renovations.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.

You can bury underground electrical wire six inches deep—but only if you use a rigid metal electrical conduit. For rigid, non-metallic conduits, bury the wire at least 12 inches deep. If using an underground feeder cable rated for direct burial, you'll need to place it at least 18 inches deep, as it has no conduit for extra protection.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

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.
