"Cheryl was great to work with. Very professional and responsive and I would definitely hire again and/or recommend to friends and family. Rated "good" on punctuality because of a little delay in getting all the debris picked up."

"Hoarder Control did above and beyond in ALL areas: price, service, customer service, and hospitality. Curbside items were picked up timely; same day as requested. The clean up was superb; no lingering items that could be blown around the neighborhood. I was very impressed and will recommend over ANY trash collection service companies! Thanks for being there when we needed it the most. Keep up the great work!"

"Date and price approx.  Too long and do not want to dig out paperwork.
When finished, toilet wasn't flushing efficiently and I asked the plumber to run a snake down it since the tile man had put a lot of old grout and other scrapings down the shower drain instead of hauling them away. He (the plumber) said it was not necessary. Several days later, I called General Plumbing to say the toilet still backed up when flushed and I still thought it should have been snaked. They came out and did so but wanted to charge me. I called the office and they agreed reluctantly not to charge. Plumber made it obvious that he was displeased about having to snake the toilet when he had said it was not necessary,  and about not getting to charge me, but the toilet worked fine after that.
Within a year, the caulking in the newly installed toilet was deteriorating but I did not call General Plumbing after their last reaction. 
This year when roaches started emerging from beneath the toilet and the flushing mechanism failed, I called a different plumber who pulled the toilet again. He said the toilet had  been set so that it was not touching the wax seal: thus the deteriorating caulk and roaches. He reset and recalled the toilet. No more roaches.
I had been using General for a number of years with great satisfaction (See my previous high ratings on Angie's list), but would unfortunately hesitate to use them now.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.
