"We have bought two farms in the last three years. Each time I used Dave for all my renovations and field control. He can do almost any project with enough time given. He has a busy schedule, but once heâ s with you, his team is there til your job is done. We used his services for: Painting Exterior repair of home Interior repair of home New trim around shop and 2,300 sq ft home Installations Excavation Tree line clearing Gravel pad Concrete pad Road building Livestock fencing Driveway installation Soon heâ ll be working on a tiny home setup for my Mom and a large overhang for the livestock. Iâ ve used Dave for years. I couldnâ t be happier with his service and team. They are hard workers. They see delays before they become a delay. Everything suggested only adds value or beauty. He has never overcharged for the quality he provides. You get exactly what you pay for. I will use his service till he retires and for all of my projects."

"They put in new drains and a dry well for our driveway, carport, and front yard. When the first dry well wasn't large enough to hold all the runoff from a heavy storm, they came back and added a second for free. Excellent customer service, very responsive, good work."

"The gentleman was nice and professional but I don't think he even remembered until halfway through that I paid for an inspection and that he was just doing an estimate. It wasn't worth it and I figured there's a way to pay for a better estimate."

"Philip responded promptly to my angie's list inquiry for handyman work. I was afraid the distance from his area to my home would turn him away. it did not. He listened to what I needed done and he comprehended it all well. We never met. We talked on the phone, thru email, and thru text. I no longer live in the state and he was willing to drive the distance and do the work. Very odd list of things I needed done to sell the home. Earthquake restraint. Pressure relief piping off the hot water heater, outlet covers, and install smoke detectors. He is professional, licensed, and insured. I would definitely hire him again and I probably will. I recommend him. Do not let the negative comments deter you. If you communicate with him the two of you should be able to work together. We did from 3000 miles apart."

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

To determine whether your homeowners' insurance will cover crawl space repair, consider the cause of the issue. Repair may be covered if the problems were caused by an event that the insurance covers, such as vandalism or a windstorm. However, companies won't cover the repair if the issues are caused by neglect or wear and tear.
