"Mr. Carideo did a great job on my small project. He tried to save me money on the materials by using a different thickness of wood. I ultimately decided to not go with his recommemdation. But I was very happy that he consulted me first and that he was trying to save me money. He handled the project in a reasonable amount of time. Actually sooner than I thought because it was around Christmas and New Years. His fee was in line with other estimates. I would use his services again."

"Because we were going away for an extended time, and insulation work by others had to be completed first, we had to schedule drywall workday NH Projects under a rather tight time frame. Despite uncooperative weather (lots of rain slowing the drying time), they managed to get everything done as needed, working around other scheduled work they had. They were prompt, professional, and a pleasure to interact with, in addition to doing excellent work."

"Wonderful service from Adam! My water heater was struggling to keep up with my wife?s long showers - which by the way she heats them up hot as hell! ? Besides the point, Adam recommended sizing up the water heater in order to keep up with the demands of some crazy hot water. Incredibly fast installation process and Adam was really friendly. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends who are looking for a plumber. You should certainly give him a call!"

"Atlantic Paving was very prompt and professional. They guided me through all the steps they were doing as they did them. The quality of work was excellent. My driveway was having issues with multiple cracking and they dug down and removed multiple stones to avoid the cracking. They rolled the final driveway for an hour to ensure it was smoothed out with all imperfections. I would recommend this team and company for their service, keeping you informed on all issues, and quality of work. They did my driveway all in one day while others were going to do it in stages which is not acceptable for my environment."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.
