"I highly recommend this company. Evan did an excellent job correcting an issue that a previous contractor made when removing trees from my backyard. The price to remove the steep slope and level my backyard was very reasonable. Evan was very responsive, on time, and informed me what needed to be done throughout the entire process. The foundation of my home is no longer in jeopardy, due to this company. They saved me thousands in costly repairs to my basement. I wish there was an option to leave 10 stars, because that?s what this company should receive. I plan on hiring Evan again for more work."

"Mike has a great team with Pablo and the men who do the work. The team put in some long days to get it done and the patio, walkway and garbage can pad look beautiful. Everything was done with consideration in the process and at the end the clean up was neat and tidy. The price was fair and competitive and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to install a patio with pavers."

"I would like to start off and say I’m not one to leave reviews, but I’m absolutely blown away with the amount of professionalism and integrity of the owner Chris and his helper Will who came out to my house for a second opinion on an estimate that was left for me. Not only did they give me a price cheaper but fully explained what needed to be done and showed me photos from start to finish. It’s a sigh of relief that there are still honest people in this world that go out of there way to do the right thing. Thanks again Clark Chimney"

"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

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

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.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.
