"We recently completed a major exterior renovation with Mike, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience or the final result. From day one, Mike made the entire process smooth, organized, and surprisingly stress‑free. He kept us updated at every stage, answered questions before we even had to ask, and handled every detail with total professionalism. Every subcontractor he brought in was skilled, respectful, and conscientious. Our property was kept clean and livable throughout, even while tackling big projects like a new roof, stucco work, window wells, and a full garage and workshop addition. It was clear that Mike holds his team to a high standard. The finished product is beautiful, and the craftsmanship shows in every corner. We’re grateful for how easy Mike made such a large renovation feel. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a contractor who is reliable, communicative, and genuinely committed to quality."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

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.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
