"Lisa and her crew are awesome! Lisa has a great business model - a CREW cleans and a normal cleaning on my average-sized house only takes an hour instead of people being in the house ALL day. They do a great job and I can actually trust them - it's a first for me because I have had people that didn't show, left without cleaning, stole things. Not the folks at Clean It Right! I could not be more happy with Lisa and her company. Honestly, it feels so great to know that my home is being taken care of!"

"My sprinkler system stopped working and Heros had great ratings, so I called and was able to get an appt for that day. The diagnostic cost was only $69 and that fee would go towards the cost of repairs. Ram showed up on time and was so pleasant, polite and professional. He worked diligently and persistenly to diagnose the problem. I was so pleased with his knowledge and could tell quickly that Heros was trustworthy, so I didn't even bother to get more bids. The team that completed the repairs was Ram, Jimmy and Kevin. They did not rush through their work and ensured the system was working properly before leaving. With every communication I got the same person, Karla, and she too pleasant, polite and professional. She sent the quote within 24 hours, called with a reminder the day before the work started and followed up with emails. This is a WINNING company that provides excellent customer service, has knowledgeable and professional employees and very reasonable prices!"

"The guys from Heroes worked quickly and completed installing a new irrigation system in my back yard in one day. They were personable and tried to interrupt our daily lives as much as possible. The price was very fair. The guys from Hero’s returned following hurricane Beryl and cleared my backyard of storm debris. They told me they were doing this at no charge for their customers since their regular work was interrupted by the effects of the storm. I highly recommend Hero’s."

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.

Above ground pools are not buried in the ground. Typically, above ground pools are semi-permanent. One reason they’re more affordable is that you don’t have to dig for an inground pool and pour concrete or another material. However, you can choose to install a semi inground pool, which is a hybrid between the two.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.
