"Shannon Parker built a screened porch for us from the ground up. He had no problem tying into our roof when other contractors we had talked to hemmed and hawed and did not know how to get it done. Shannon's communication skills are excellent; he kept us informed at every step of the way regarding progress and advising us of any cost changes (due to our plan changes) or rain delays. It was a pleasure to work with him from start to finish, and the screened porch turned out beyond our expectations due to his knowledge, skill and attention to detail. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone doing new construction or building a screened porch, and we would hire him again. Oh, and his pricing is fair, too. We are delighted with our screened porch!"

We are just half way through the project and delayed because a generational snow storm, we know he will stay on top of the conditions and finish when it is safe and able to within our needed due date. We will be hiring Sky High and Mr. Phenneger for many future projects and recommend him to friends. It is a pleasure to find such a person with integrity, honesty and skills."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Trenching is a specific kind of digging. Trenching means digging a depression in the earth that’s deeper than it is wide, often with heavy machinery. Digging refers to any kind of removal of earth in order to create a human-made depression, hole, or cut in the earth’s surface. You can dig with big tools or even with just a hand shovel.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

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.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.
