We have made it our duty to deliver the best workmanship while giving customers friendly and reliable service. Customer satisfaction is our main priority.

Integrity based contracting and construction business fully insured and licensed.

"They leveled my house in 2018. It was OK for about 5 years when the house started cracking up again. First let me say that they no longer answer the phones consistently. They wait days to return a call. The lady I eventually talked to made it clear that my warranty was useless but did agree to send someone over to look at it. They called a plumber for me who did a test and found several sewer line leaks, which voided the warranty. The plumbers excavated and fixed the leaks for $16,000. After begging for a quote to re-level for months, Christopher finally blessed me with a quote for $13,350. Considering I paid $27,951.72 in 2018, and the excavation work was already done by the plumbers, I decided that I could not justify spending that much more, for a total of $57,300 on my foundation with no warranty, so now I live in a permanently cracked and crooked house."

"We spent approximately $17,000 on this project. After the installation (August 2016), it appeared that the installation was generally okay. However, my wife and I did note to Mr. Young that his employees had stapled the wires running up the trees very deep into the tree bark (see attached pictures) and that eventually as the trees grow there would likely be an electrical short. Mr. Young responded that this was normal installation procedure and that he had never had any troubles in previous installations. In October 2017 (after the warranty expired), a short did occur as predicted and three lights in a row went out. Mr. Young refused to acknowledge it was due to the extreme stabling referred to above. However, the solution to the problem required him running new wires up the same trees with less severe stapling. We had to pay Mr. Young $500 to resolve the specific issue that was clearly caused by his poor installation but he would not replace all the wiring running up the other trees. Therefore, we are likely to experience future failures do to Mr. Young's poor installation. After Mr. Young repaired the problem and we paid him, I asked a Master Electrician to look at pictures of the "severe stapling" and he said "of course it caused the short." Later we had a bulb go out and when I tried to find the same type of bulb that would fit, I discovered it was no longer being produced. I called Mr. Young to ask where I could find another bulb that would work and he said the one he installed was still being produced. When I informed him that the company that produced the bulb had on their website that it was no longer in production, he accused me of speaking to him in a condescending manner. Mr. Young has a great sales pitch but does not stand behind his work and becomes argumentative if you do not agree with him. Luckily for me, the company who no longer produces the original bulb (that Mr. Young installed) in our back yard helped me find another bulb (at no cost) that is produced by a competitor. Mr. Young simply refused to help."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.

Septic tanks are typically buried between four inches and four feet deep, depending on the property, the soil, and the size of the tank. When the septic tank is buried on the deeper end of this range, it may be harder for you to locate it on your own with a soil probe or just by observing the yard for signs of the tank. However, if you have trouble finding the septic tank, a pro will be happy to help you.

Whether you grind or dig up and remove your tree stump depends on your landscaping goals. Using a stump grinder leaves the root system in place for it to decompose over time, whereas digging up the tree stump removes the roots and the stump. Overall, stump grinding is a far simpler process since you won’t need to deal with the roots. Stump removal will make your yard look like a demolition site, but you’ll have an easier time replanting in the same place as your former tree.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
