"Excellent junk removal service! Jack was professional, friendly, and efficient from start to finish. He arrived on time, worked quickly, and made the entire process stress-free. He handled everything with care and left the area clean when they finished. Pricing was fair, and customer service was great. I highly recommend Jack to anyone needing junk removal and would definitely use his services again!"

Small jobs welcome

Hello everyone I'm Nick, Im a 37 yr old with 20+ years of working with my hands on all sorts of jobs. From framing houses in my younger days to running small crews doing HVAC. I've also done full hard scapes both installing and repairing/ reviving along with your normal small home repairs. I'm very knowledgeable and take pride in my work. I have most tools to do any job but depending on the job I may have to rent or purchase that tool required to complete the job. I am goal oriented and focused at doing the job right the first time. I have a sharp eye for detail and am not a lipstick artist if you know what I mean. The job will be completed correctly. If you hire me you can be certain to be treated with respect and honesty throughout the process along with a fair cost for the job. \n\nThank you for the opportunity and I look forward to hearing from you.

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.
