"After performing demo workout, our previous contractor took our $$ and ran. Because of this, we were too spooked to hire another “con”tracor and decided to try a service with a good reputation and warranty. I can not recommend ACE more highly. Our “handyman" Juan was skilled and super knowledgable with the HUGE project he was thrown into. He was on time, efficient and just a joy to deal with! By himself, Juan cleaned up the prior demo area, properly sealed the shower, installed a new shower bench/curbs and repaired the wall…he did everything but the painting, which we took care of. What a worker! Thank you so much Juan and ACE Handyman Services. We will certainly be working with you again!"

"Bob Bedford and the great guys from Bedford Builders worked on my Dad’s house this past winter. Bob was very quick to respond to our initial request for him to view my Dad’s house and provide him with a quote. He was extremely patient when walking his home with us, as we discussed options and ideas. He took great notes, and provided my Dad with a detailed quote quickly. I was hoping for a rather specific timeframe, as I was about to have another baby, and it would have been easier to remodel without any of his grandkids in the house. He was very understanding and was able to start the job exactly when we needed. Bob and his team were so very organized and professional from day one, and this carried on throughout the entire project. The kitchen and bathrooms had not been fully remodeled in over 50 years, so it was more than a typical renovation. The kitchen and two bathrooms had to be completely gutted and rebuilt. The kitchen remodel involved relocating the refrigerator and taking a piece of a wall away, installing recessed lighting, crown molding, reworking sink and oven locations, adding a dishwasher and widening the entrance to the kitchen. They also took their time and did an amazing job with the very detailed floor tile pattern. All new cabinets and hardware were installed, and Quartz countertops and a stone backsplash were also installed to perfection. Both the master bath and guest bath were also completely gutted to the studs. Both bathroom remodels required reworking of the existing footprint by removing a closet to open up the bathroom more, and expanding a bit into the existing wall to create a larger master shower. Both bathrooms had exceptional custom tile work in the showers, counter work and cabinets. They also completed beautiful woodwork were needed on the first floor and master bath. Bob was extremely patient throughout the process, and always made sure to explain all of the steps along the way. If an issue arose, he explained it thoroughly and provided an option for a resolution. I absolutely cannot say enough about the QUALITY of the work that was provided by Bob and his team. They are the epitome of professionalism and caring about the quality of their work. We would absolutely recommend Bob Bedford and Bedford Builders to anyone for any size project or remodel."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Overall, yes. Crushed stone of any type is pretty effective for drainage. Compared to crushed gravel, though, pea gravel can be more prone to clumping over time, so it might not be the absolute best option. It’s sometimes used in underground drainage projects, though, so it’ll work well enough for most home improvement projects. 

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

Regrading around your home’s foundation requires you to stay 4 inches below the top of the foundation and 4 inches below the bottom of the siding. Too high and heavy rain will make its way into your home; too low, and you may experience an increase in critters and pests.

Your sump pump will discharge water through a discharge line or pipe. The discharge line should be placed at least 10–20 feet from the foundation to avoid any issues.

Yes. Window wells should have drains to let water flow away from the window. If a window well doesn't have a drain, it could lead to a basement seepage problem, costly water damage, and potential mold growth. Window well drains can connect to either an interior or exterior drain tile. You can dig the drain yourself with a shovel or auger or hire a window installer to handle it for you.
