"KC Contracting and Construction built 3 homes for us simultaneously (For us and our 2 sons), a shop, and a barn, and did a phenomenal job on everything. They were very professional, hard working, and easy to work with. We have built several homes in the past and this was, by far, our best experience. We have never worked with a more honest contractor who really cares about his customers and the quality of the work they provide. We will definitely use them for any future construction needs."

"This company did a marvelous job tearing down our old car port. They were able to do it in a short time frame and cleaned up the area quite well. I appreciated them calling me when they had questions as to what exactly was to be hauled away. I recommend them highly!"

"The painting I rate 90% good. There were some spots that needed touched up and wholes they left from hooks they screwed into the cabinets hand during painting. I just told them I would do those touch ups ( only because I was always waiting on them to show up. Nice and friendly however they need some improvement on being more professional. They were never on time. I added some sink installation and washer & dryer move. They send quotes for those but were not correct. I couldn?t for the life of me to send me a correct quote. So when they came out to do the job, it was more work than we all anticipated. Which was ok but when the job was done it went they wanted to charge me 3 times the amount. They did a good job but WAY overpriced. They said the material alone was $460+. I was not going to pay what they were asking, however I still paid them more than what the materials cost. ONLY because it was my fault for not getting a quote before the job. 2 weeks and still no receipt."

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.

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.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
