Chad Henry Construction, LLC is a individually owned company, and has been doing business in the Tri-City TN area since 1997. We are a bonded, licensed,fully insured company. Quality work, and customer satisfaction is our top priority.

"Chad took over for another contractor that didn't know what he was doing. He inherited quite a mess. Chad investigated all of the prior work thoroughly, and was honest in his assessment that everything the prior contractor did would not last, and needed to be redone. I was unhappy, to say the least, but had my suspicions before Chad even looked at it. Chad did a thorough inspection and measurements for his quote, and made sure he asked all the questions he needed for an accurate quote, and addressed all of my concerns. After hiring Chad, he and his crew got to work at the time that I was given. He and his crew were very professional and very curteous, and I never had any issues with them during their time here. The crew cleaned up after themselves every day and always asked if it was ok to leave any tools or equipment at the house. Chad is not one of those guys who "does it all", and if you ask him, he will tell you. Each profession (Tile, drywall, paint, plumbing, electrical) has it's own specialized tooling and methodology, and he understands that in order to achieve the best results, one must use those professionals who work their trade every day. Chad made sure everything was lines up at each stage of the project, and dealt with all of the trades that he subcontracted. Each of these trades were fully licensed and bonded and were people who Chad could count on to do an excellent job. At every stage of the project, if there were ANY questions that needed to be answered about how I wanted something to look, or options that I had, Chad NEVER hesitated to ask me how I wanted it to be. I did not have to worry about Chad just doing "what he thought I wanted" like you may find with other contractors. Any concern that I had, Chad addressed, and resolved. I changed my mind on quite a few things, and Chad rolled with the punches. The most important thing after quality, Chad kept himself within budget! Even with some of the changes I made, he was able to keep me close enough to my original quote that I was impressed. I had expected a larger final bill than what I received, and I was quite relieved. I will be doing more projects at my home, and will ONLY be using Chad Henry Construction and his sub-contractors for the job. Chad takes pride in his work, and stands behind it. I had hired my own electrician, who actually introduced me to Chad, but in the future I will not be using them, as I had trouble with them! I will be using Chad to spearhead ALL work in the future. You will not be unhappy with hiring Chad Henry Construction. I wouldn't pay attention to any other negative review, because Chad is a straight shooter. If he cannot do something, he will tell you. If he has policies in place, he will tell you. Old school pride and work ethic."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

Landscape edging is more DIYable than trenching. You can DIY your own digging projects, but proceed carefully and only with proper knowledge of the equipment and appropriate safety measures in place. Keep in mind the project's scope and estimate how long it will take you to do it on your own. While you can certainly save money by DIYing home improvement projects, you can’t exactly hide an unfinished—or worse, ruined— landscaping job from the neighbors. It’s always safer to call an excavation pro near you to get an estimate.

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.
