"Kristy was very professional on the phone, so sweet and concerned with making sure she got all of the details of when,where and the time to come. The gentleman that came to paint was so respectful, professional and made sure to ask me before leaving if I was happy and satisfied with his work. On top of being on time he did an AMAZING job. I am so thankful for the respect shown in my home! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"

"Henry and his coworker did an amazing job with our deep clean and removal of an old wooden structure we needed hauled away. They were very thorough when cleaning everything, which was impressive. When dusting shelves, they removed the items on the shelves, even the TV, to make sure everything was clean. They did a good job cleaning the baseboards, the oven, fridge, freezer, bathrooms, and floors. They were very polite, respectful, and asked questions. Henry kept us informed about his estimated arrival time and clarified the services we requested, demonstrating good communication. He was very considerate of the people in the home, remaining as quiet as possible to avoid disturbance. Henry responded quickly with a quote, which I appreciated, as we needed urgent deep cleaning services and structure removal. I highly recommend their services and would hire them again! Thank you!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.
