"This was the most money we have ever paid anyone to do anything...ever. The Sheridans had our trust throughout the entire process. They gave an affordable quote and did awesome work. They cleaned up during each stage of the project and always communicated well with me about timing and issues that came up. Our garage dimensions were awkward and not a perfect rectangle by any means - these guys had to craft a kit of workarounds for irregular shapes and curves. Todd and Luke are good human beings with positive attitudes, and care about their integrity and their work. I hope to use them in the future."

Reliable employee's, sub contract for plumbing and electrical. Fully Insured

"I hired Greg to excavate and waterproof our new 8' tall finished basement. A different contractor did the concrete work. Greg assumed responsibility of all work after the concrete was cured. He said he would acquire and install drainage pipe and fabric around the footings. He said he would apply tar for waterproofing. And he coordinated acquiring stone and sand for back-fill. However, after he back-filled the foundation, I brought to his attention that he didn't apply the waterproofing tar. When I first asked him about not doing the waterproofing tar, he said he called his "guy" to do it and expressed frustration that it didn't get done. A couple days later he changed his message and said I never asked for waterproofing to be done. Then he changed his message again and said he gave me the phone number to his "guy" for me to call and coordinate the waterproofing. In the end, he was certain it was my fault for not coordinating with his "guy" to do the waterproofing. By all accounts, waterproofing is essential because our home is on a lake and has water issues that need to be mitigated. He wanted to charge us for the additional work to re-excavate even though he didn't get it right the first time. We shared harsh words and now I have a foundation that will leak like cheesecloth. It was quite fascinating how many excuses he surmised for why it didn't get done; none of which included that perhaps he made a mistake. I was quite pleased with his work until he blamed me for not doing that one particular thing. Seriously, dude? It was my fault? I understand that mistakes happen, I wish he were mature enough to take responsibility. Don't hire children to do a man's job."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

The completion timeline for an in-ground swimming pool project typically ranges between 8 to 12 weeks, depending on weather conditions, the complexity of the design, and any unexpected ground conditions encountered during excavation.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even if the project only involves grading or yard leveling. Excavation permits help protect the topography in your area and can avoid issues with poor drainage. In most cases, your excavation company will know whether or not permits are required and will even pull them and close them out for you before and after the job. You can also verify whether permits are necessary by calling your local building department and explaining the proposed project.
