"Mike and Mason replaced and extended decks on the front and back of my house, replaced all the windows and doors, and replaced most of the plywood/siding on the house - had some rot from previous storms of which I was unaware. Mike kept me informed every step of the way and was very easy to work with. Mason is a very capable young man and a hard worker. Everything was done in a timely manner -despite the unexpected damage uncovered - and they completely cleaned inside and out once finished. All the work was outstanding and looks amazing. Any future jobs I have, I will be using Colley Construction."

"I called Jonathon for an estimate after initially hiring someone else to do the job. The previous person started working on my yard seven weeks prior (still wasn't finished) and the patio/yard was a disaster. Jonathon came out the following day and got me on the schedule within a couple of weeks. He and his staff had to completely redo what had been done and they completed the work in less than two days (patio and plants). They were professional, efficient and communicated with me throughout the process. I immediately recommended him to my neighbor who hired him as well. I wish I had hired him initially as he was a pleasure to work with and did an excellent job!"

"Chris was very professional he did many projects for us, painted a shed leveled some land, dug up some Earth, moved a lots of rock and removed mulch. He did whatever we needed him to do and even gave us good suggestions , that were better than we planned. He was very hardworking and had a very pleasant attitude. We were always very pleased with his work and he always kept things very clean. We are hoping to get him to do other projects in the future!"

"As a General Contractor, I need reliable material deliveries. Time is crucial for me. In my experience with Wade at WCR, I have been blown away by their service, reliability, and genuine care for their customers. I never have to worry about how to move materials, because their knowledge and experience manage all of the logistics. Their prices are very competitive, so I m able to use their services without breaking the bank. I have been and will be a longtime customer. I suggest others do the same."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

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.

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.
