"I am going to be as honest as possible to help out the next person in their decision to hire him. First and foremost he is a great guy and friendly, he knows what he is doing and his workmanship is top notch. I initially hired him for a patio / porch and then a 3car garage. When he started it was going well and after I paid him a little more so he could get ahead, he would run out of material and would just leave without saying anything. His work was impressive but I felt he became complacent and started cutting corners because he ran out of money to buy materials. As an example: Not planning ahead, he left a portion of my roof exposed and the rain went into my home causing considerable sheet rock and insulation damage. He could have covered it to prevent some of the damage but his response was â I canâ t control the weatherâ . That was disappointing as I had to cover that bill myself. On the 3 car garage, I ran into the same problem. He started slowing down I was a little disappointed with the timelines. He would show up and work a few hours then leave. Despite me asking for a blueprint or plan. He failed to provide one. On several occasions he ran out of material and the work was delayed. The workers he had would come to me and say they would have to leave because there was no more material. I did notice that when you asked him questions he would get a little defensive. Unfortunately some of his hard work was tarnished by his lack of planning despite being paid in advance. Half of my structure remained exposed due to lack of planning on his part. Towards the end of the project he was piecing boards together and using left over scraps as patch up work. I did question him on a few things like hauling of the leftover material but he referred to the contract and said it was not in the contract. However, he was willing to charge me more money to get it removed. In order to end in good terms, I just wanted him to finish what he started and paid him to avoid further disappointment. I still have left over material to haul away, a few areas to patch, tape and seal. I would recommend him because of the skill he has however, I may or may not hire him again. I would let the next person know to MAKE SURE you read the contract very carefully, ask questions and request plans with a timeline or you will have to hire other people to finish his work. I have plenty of pictures to share if interested."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

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.
