"Warren estimated 3 weeks to complete the drywall project. He completed both drywall and an additional drop ceiling project, all in that 3 week period. His crews were very efficient, professional and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Warren and his Best Co. for any work types that they routinely do. Other contractors wouldnà ¢ t even call me back, Warren was always courteous and responsive."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We've hired Pete Boutillier's Junk Removal Company for multiple projects, and every experience has been excellent. Pete is professional, dependable, and reasonably priced. He shows up when he says he will, works hard, and always gets the job done efficiently. What really sets Pete apart is his ability to tackle challenging jobs. No job seems too big or complicated, and he's an excellent problem solver who doesn't need constant direction. He's a true self-starter who takes initiative and finds solutions when unexpected issues arise. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, hardworking, affordable, and easy to work with, we highly recommend Pete and his team. We wouldn't hesitate to hire him again for future projects!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

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.

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.
