"Tristen redid our back deck/porch. At first we thought we just needed to redo the boards on top. However, once he got the top off, we quickly realized that the railing and support beams were also rotten so he had to redo almost our whole deck. He was very communicative every step of the way and made sure we were okay with every change before he did anything. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for maintenance issues or needing a deck repair!"

"Ryan was very good at his job. He is very polite, courteous and reasonably priced. He always showed up on time. He's a young kid but he really works hard! I was very impressed with him and had no problem with him whats so ever! I would recommend him to anyone! I have absolutely nothing bad to say about him. It's hard to find someone his age with the drive and the determination that he has. I can't say enough how impressed I was with him! I couldn't believe it! Very satisfied customer!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
