"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."

Customers say: Quality work

"We had our sidewalk repaired by Galo and his crew. The existing sidewalk was being pushed up by tree roots, creating a trip hazard. We called several places for estimates, Galo was the most prompt in responding to our request, and gave us the best price. Not only that, but he and his crew were able to do the work right away. They removed all debris and did a great job all-around. I highly recommend them!"

"Rightway Waterproofing is the company you want to come and waterproof your basement. I had initially set up a job looking for pros through Angie's List. I was contacted by Rightway Waterproofing via phone and email but did not respond as life happens. Well it rained really heavy again in August and I had more water in the basement. I reached out to them on a Friday and Albert contacted me immediately. They were able to come out on Monday to look at my property. Jake was thorough and friendly. He let me know what he thought we needed, explained everything thoroughly and gave us a quote which was completely reasonable. We accepted the bid and work was to commence on Thurs as they had an opening. Work was completed in one day. The area was kept pristine and they did an amazing job. The crew was courteous to my family. I could not recommend them more. I hope to have them out again at some point to finish my basement area as well. Try to keep in mind that during the season of covid many families are looking for ways to make more space in their homes or to have to home projects done. If you are waiting for work to be done just know that it is worth it! Thanks Rightway!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.
