"Justine was professional, knowledgeable and timely; he got me the quote and arranged a crew very quickly. Justine was always available if there were questions and was the go-to person between workers and myself. My LVP flooring is beautiful, the demo and install done smoothly. The crews were such a team!! As always, my support of local business didn't let me down."

"Ben is easy to work with. He listens to your expectations and provides alternatives to reach your desired result. Ben incorporated our modifications as the project pulled together. He also stays on budget and only exceeded the agreed upon price when incorporating our requested upgrades. His crew is extremely hard working and friendly. The crew, and Ben, take great pride in their work striving to make everything perfect. We would use this company again without any hesitation. Job well done!"

"I am very happy with the work that Mr. Fix it completed. They arrived on time and were thorough and had great communication with me. They reconfirmed all of the placing of the lights and went over the instructions for the ceiling fan remotes with me. I actually have another estimate for more work pending with them and plan on having them complete that as well. I will also recommend them to my friends."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

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.

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.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.
