"This kis the second major remodel project I have hired Mr. Meyers for. It can be difficult finding contractors for my fourth floor walk up condo. The project was basically three stages, all done expertly. First, Billy completed demolished and gutted the room, expertly handling all garbage management, carpet cutting, and furniture removal. Not an easy task with 75 stairs. He noticed a small bug infestation and went the extra mile and bleach mopped the entire floor. The second stage involved the spackling, sanding, complete painting of the room, always at least two coats. I will tell you he is a terrible singer, but he is definitely passionate. Painting skills are beyond extraordinary The third stage involved the laying of a beautiful snap in flooring system, new base boards, outlet covers, and blinds.. Once again 75 stairs from the street. As an added bonus Billy even assembled new bed frame and mattress from new in box (amazon).. I was most amazed when he set up my cat's litter box too. Overall I plan on hiring him again to do a kitchen remodel down the road if he is available. As aside note Billy is very trustworthy, I would often fall asleep in the next room to his terrible singing. Finally, cleanliness is godliness. Billy is godly."

"I was required by my insurance company to replace an elevated section of my sidewalk due to underground tree roots. I reached out to Local Boyz and they were quick to respond with an estimate. The company kept me updated as to what permits would be required and also dates available so that I could meet the insurance company deadlines. The owner arrived at my home this morning around 7:30 and did a great job digging up tree roots, and pouring the cement to even out the sidewalk path. The work was done meticulously, and due to the very cold weather expected, a cement cover was placed across to protect it from the upcoming low temperatures. I was very pleased with the whole process and would definitely recommend Local Boyz!"

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

Chipmunks dig their burrows about three feet deep and up to 30 feet long. The entrances can be two inches wide or more. Chipmunks are fiercely protective of their burrows and use them to protect the nuts and seeds they gather for the long winters.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.
