"Sumner is very professional and knowledgeable when it comes to handling waste/junk removal. A few months back I hired him to remove an old brick fire pit it was done quickly and it was very reasonably priced. His charismatic nature makes it very easy to do business with. I definitely would recommend and hire for future projects."

"I cannot express enough how impressed I am with this company. Andrew and Midlands Home Renovations LLC are the ones you want to trust with your home. He could have taken shortcuts, but instead, he went above and beyond for my family and our home. Andrew is a family man and an exceptional contractor. He supported me and my family through a challenging time when our home suffered damages due to a small leaking shower valve. What's more, I was out of town on business while my wife and family were at home. Andrew promptly opened the flooring, assessed the damages, identified the source of our problems, and resolved them. He even discovered a pipe that a previous contractor assured me was fixed, yet it was still leaking under our home. Although it was not within the scope of work he initially signed up for, Andrew still fixed it to ensure there were no further leaks under our home. With over 10 years of experience in marketing and previous experience as a construction worker, I know the ins and outs of business and the effort involved. Trust me when I say THIS COMPANY IS THE ONE YOU WANT! Andrew, on behalf of my entire family, we sincerely thank you and your company for the outstanding work done. Great job, guys. We look forward to doing much more business with this company in the very near future."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

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.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

The cost to drill a well varies, with a national average of around $5,500 for a 150-foot well. However, prices can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including your location, the required well depth, geological conditions, local regulations, and the specific drilling methods used. For the most accurate cost assessment, it is best to research and get quotes from local well-drilling professionals in your area.
