"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

"The two men from A-1 Construction & Roofing were very kind and courteous. Brett was prompt in his arrival for the inspection of my roof and giving me options on repair. I chose the 45 mil rubber roof overlayment for the repair as it was more cost effective for me and Brett said it had a 50 year warranty. He called and got the material cost and gave me a fair quote for completing the job. He and his coworker Chris came with the materials and promptly started the job. They were very thorough and professional with the repairs as I observed and answered any questions I had. They did a super job on my mobile home roof repair and I am very happy with the results. It looks great. These guys are very professional, easy and fun to work with. I highly recommend A-1 Construction & Roofing for your roofing or construction needs. I rate them 5 Stars."

"Loved Lance, he was honest, fair, reasonable and completed the work as promised and then some. I would definitely recommend Lance to anyone needing landscaping completed. He extended our driveway back and to the side with gravel, replaced the existing railroad ties, graded previously stump grinding, tamped and added dirt around our septic risers, moved dirt to file in a ditch, and placed seed and straw down where he disturbed the ground!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

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.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.
