"Pedro and his crew did a great job. They seemed to be very particular about all the details. Left me with a nice slab of concrete and no mess. Landscaping mulch all put back in place. Their price was reasonable. I would definitely hire them again!"
"Excellent service! Pro was nice, easy to work with, professional! Never would have known he was here, he cleaned the working area so well! I would definitely recommend Blackburn Basement!!"
Angi has proven to be more harm than benefit. This page is no longer monitored, but business is still up and running. Contact me directly at [email protected].\n\nA man is the sum of his motivations. I am motivated to make sure my wife's medical treatment costs are no longer a worry. I am motivated to build the wealth my family didn't to give my children a leg up no matter how uncertain things look. I am motivated to give my pets a yard, my parents a retirement, and to make my community better for my generations I will not know. I achieve what I put myself towards because I do not see failure as an option.
"I really appreciated the quick contact and personal connection with this contractor. I felt his concern for my needs, but also thought he rushed through the details and did not get a good understanding of what I expected. I jumped on his proposal, that was in my estimate because of good ratings on HomeAdvisor and proceeded with my project. I found the results a little lacking because they left edges of concrete hanging off of low fill areas and found a crack in the MAIN concrete floor that I needed installed on top of heated shop floor. I still gave pretty positive rating because they came back and filled the area that I complained about and worked with me as the customer that was not satisfied. They did what was expected and worked with me to get the job done, even if it was extra steps. In the end... I am happy with results, so do not be afraid to work with them. JUST MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THE PLAN BEFORE WORK STARTS."
"They went above and beyond what I thought needed to be done. The prep work was excellent (forming, packing, rebar, etc.). Would recommend to any one needing patio or sidewalk work. Would hire again."
"We only had a small amount of sidewalk work, but they did an excellent job of fitting old natural stone into the original pattern. We had a great deal of other work done, and they were very efficient, very cheerful, and very reliable. I highly recommend Q & E Construction."

Yes, you can use a saw to cut metal pipes. The best saw to use is a reciprocating saw, but even a fine-tooth hacksaw can get the job done. No matter which saw you use to cut metal pipes, wear protective gear, like work gloves, safety goggles, and ear plugs. Apply a firm, steady pressure to the tool, and always ensure the pipes are secured so they don't move while you make the cuts.
Sawing your hot tub into more manageable chunks so it can be lifted easily into a truck takes several hours. Generally, 2.5 hours for smaller hot tubs and around 4 hours for larger ones with the help of one to two people. If money isn't a concern and you want to skip the physical labor, you can hire a pro to get the job done.
Your typical household tools will not cut a metal pipe. To cut a metal pipe, you’d need more specialized tools like a pipe cutter or circular saw. Do not attempt to use these tools without taking proper safety precautions and wearing safety gear. It’s usually safer to let a pro cut a metal pipe, especially if you’re not confident in your skills with a heavy-duty saw.
There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:
Are you licensed and certified?
How long have you been in the welding business?
Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?
Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?
Do you charge by the hour or by the project?
How long do you expect my welding project to take?
What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?
