"The contract sent out a crew to remove the old roof. That crew completed that in 1 day. The contract didn't get a roofing crew out for about a week after. I ended up raining & causing interior damage. The roofers installed the new roof but it was horrible! It was very very poor work. The contract said he was going to fix a few problems & wanted to get the balance of the roof job. We questioned why he didn't @ less replace the fascia before doing the roof & that's when it turned. The contract wanted to get paid for the roof job before he did anything else. After going back & forth about the poor roof job, the contractor agreed to return the deposit because he admitted that it was a poor job. He wrote up a agreement to repay the deposit but has yet to do so. After several calls, he stated he is out of business & will pay a little @ a time, when he get some money."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

Trenches are 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the right depth for your trench will depend on the nature of your project. For example, if you’re digging a trench as part of a French drain installation, it should be 18 inches deep. An excavation professional can explain how deep your trench should be.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.
