"I almost donâ t want to leave this review because I want to keep them a secret for myself... Warren and his team are top notch. Hired them to basically remodel our entire condo: New floors, new counters, paint walls and ceilings, cabinet painting, light fixtures and ceiling fans, new toilets, hardwood stairs, you name it. Not only was the work done professionally, Warren communicated with me frequently, and he ALWAYS responded. Being an out of state owner, this was critical for me, and he really delivered. Very organized with billing, and his the pricing was great. As a matter of fact, I added on quite a few things as we went and he kept on track and worked everything in without hesitation. I will work with Howard and Best Co again, without a doubt. If youâ re reading this review and still wondering who to hire - stop now and just call them. I donâ t think thereâ s a better contractor experience out there."

"Excellent job! Dave was the first to quote the job and had a better price. He came with crew on time and finished everything I'd requested in one full day as quoted! The work involved extensive tree and brush removal as well as trimming branches to open up view corridors. I wholeheartedly recommend Dave. If he quotes you a job, he will deliver."

"Ryan at Tobey & Son Excavation was excellent! He did some site prep work for us and was incredibly easy to work with; friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable in his field. He showed a high level of attention to detail which was clearly displayed in his finished work. We will be using Tobey & Son for all of our upcoming projects and highly recommend him to everyone else!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.
