"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

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.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

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.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

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.
