"Ralph's workmanship is exquisite. He takes great pride in his projects and notices small details which enhance the look and satisfaction of the finished project. The intricate ceramic tile pattern he created in a neighbor's laundry room reno and his meticulous creativity in a newly built "cottage" blew us away. Naturally, he did not disappoint us! Our custom cabinets and remodeled porch are stunning. A bonus in hiring Ralph is that his crew exhibits the same high quality work ethic and positive attitude. They're an amazing, cohesive group, whether Ralph is on site or not. Moreover, we found the vendors he recommended to be highly competent professionals whose services and materials quickly established their own knowldge and skills. We're confident you'll be as thrilled with Ralph's work and recommendations as we've been. It's difficult to find contractors who can be trusted, who enjoy their work, and whose communication is easy and clear, but it's even harder to find ones that don't disappoint. Caputo Contracting does NOT disappoint!"

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).

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

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.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
