"I hired Billy to repair and resurface my 8'x25' deck and 5 steps leading to it, with Trex composite decking materials. Billy gave me a fair quote and described the job extensively and with photos.

"I had an old refrigerator, microwave and some other things to be removed from my backyard. Robert was the original guy I I contacted. We talked pricing and then arranged a Time for pickup. Vinny was the worker that came out on time I may add he introduced himself and got straight to work it took him about not even 15 minutes to get all the stuff on the trailer. We talked for a bit and he informed me that they were a construction company that also did repairs and to keep them in mind if I ever needed anything which I will I've added them to my contact list. I think Robert and Vinny are phenomenal guys. They were both professional and friendly at the same time. I gave them five stars but that really not enough to describe how they made me feel like a special and valued customer. So this is my personal rating; 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Satisfaction! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Friendliness! 👍🏼👍🏻👍👍🏾👍🏽👍🏿 Getting the job done! "

Our owner operator construction & home improvement division provides light to medium duty construction and excavating services to the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors of Southern New Jersey. With over ten years’ experience in the field, our versatility & efficiency is combined with competitive pricing and on point client communication. These values help to ensure a clear scope of work and open communication resulting in exceeding your expectations. We get it! Not every company wants small jobs. Between the travel involved, the time on site for the consultation, preparing the quote, etc., time is money. But at RJT, we grew our business with small jobs and handyman work, and we have no plans to stop now (though distance must be considered). From demolishing an old shed or garage to assembling a grill or fixing your entry way steps, to remodeling a bathroom, the size of the job is not as important as the long term relationships we build within the communities we serve. We love what we do and love where we work! We offer hourly rates or project based pricing to fit every budget. Financing is also available! We do no offer painting or wall papering services. RJT Construction & Home Improvement offers these services and more! • Construction • Demolition • Clearing • Site Preparation • Trenches • Breaking • Compacting • Lifting • Soil Boring • Debris Removal & Disposal • Pavers: Patios, walkways, retaining walls, driveways • Decks: lumber, composite • Drywall • Kitchen & Bath Remodeling ***We now offer custom pool installation and backyard design**

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

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.

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.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.
