"Project - Complete the work of replace siding and windows from a job previous contractor left half way. They are extremely professional, friendly and reliable. They delivered everything and more they promised on time. We were remote. They kept us informed every step of the job. We had a very fussy tenant in the property. The crew had to go in to the house. We were concerned how it will work. The tenant was very happy with the work they did and how they cleaned up afterwards. We highly recommend them. We will ask them to come back and do our decks once the weather gets better."

"I hired this pro to do a retaining wall and remove an old cement walkway and add back in a paved one! The project came out beautifully! Bobby was wonderful, very easy to talk too, very responsive to text and calls. I was never left waiting to hear back! His employee Ray was just as nice and helpful, I would recommend them over any big company! Such attention to detail!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.
