"We worked with Tim Warren of Quality Excavation to help turn the vision we had for our property into a reality. He came to walk our property, listen to what our goals were, offered his experience and was open to some last minute changes. We wanted the work done by the spring of 2018 and realized if the work was not done before winter set in we would not meet our goal. With this reality Tim rearranged his schedule to ensure the project was done before the first snow. After the work was done one of our neighbors came by and their response was “better than fantastic.” Tim would be the first and only excavator I would work with if I ever had another project to do."
"I had a Groupon for 1000 sq. ft. of driveway sealing. I have about 2000 sq. ft. I bought the Groupon and called, and I was told it would be another $170, so I wanted to set the appointment. It actually took a year to get done, as he had too many Groupon customers and was giving scheduling preference to his existing client base. Once we had the appointment, they arrived on time, could not have been more pleasant, did a great job, and left the area spotless. "

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
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.
Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.
Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.
Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
