"Nik is probably the best contractor I have ever worked with. Prior to hiring him through HomeAdvisor, I was working with a different contractor who had mis-measured and ended up under-estimating our project. This job was a community project on a tight budget, and funds had already been collected based on the initial estimate. Not only was Nik willing to work within our budget, but he was also able to turn our project around in record time. His work was excellent. Basically, it is flawless. Not only that, but Nik is knowledgable and desire to please gave us great confidence in selecting him for the job. Without hesitation, I would recommend Nik for any excavating work you might need and he will be the guy I hire for future jobs of this nature. Thank you, Nik, for your excellence!!!"

"Floyd Elmore got in touch with me through Angi's List and came over the same day and fixed my door frame and door. He was able to use parts that we already had plus lumber from our garage, which saved us money. We got it fixed the same day I talked to him. We're very happy with his work. Pauline Testerman"

"I hired Jack to install over 1,500 feet of gravel road and to clear several acres of heavy brush on our property. His work is excellent and his pricing is very fair and reasonable. I am very satisfied."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
