"I have hired Bill for several projects on my house. He did my driveway, parging of my foundation, slab removal and stone replacement, crawl space filling and some landscaping work. I have been so pleased with the results of every project. Bill is a personable hard worker and his work is of the utmost quality. He shows up on time and stays until the job is done. His wife, Allyson is also so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Local Boyz for any home project you may have."

"I went on Angi and got a referral to Atlantic County Handyman. Connected that day and he came by for an estimate. Schedule the work for Monday but told me if he didn't finish in one day he would have to come back Thursday. Came on Monday as scheduled, then returned the next morning to finish the job. Great to work with. He even tolerated my two big dogs getting in his way."

"All went well except for one misunderstanding, which I covered with another subcontractor. Project, as finished, is/will be almost completely invisible, which they went out of their way to help me accomplish. Very happy with price and job. And, most important, my basement is now dry!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

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.

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.
