"This was an incredibly difficult and extensive property renovation. The crews which completed the work are some of the best craftsmen and women that I have ever met. The crews are concerned with getting the job done; and if it was not done correctly, they would fix it....no questions asked. Pleasure to deal with this professional crew."

"Oscar cleared brush and high grass on about an acre along the back of my property. The property is irregular shaped, uneven terrain with multiple trees. He brought in the appropriate equipment, showed up when promised and did a great job. His prices are fair and I would definitely use him again."

"Gibraltar was too busy with other jobs at the time, and he wasn't responsive enough. He gave us an estimate and then we were trying to get more information as we were getting other estimates, and I could not always reach them. The day they were supposed to come the first time, they did not showing up because the car broke down. We did not follow up because if we were having problems before the service, we would have a problem after we paid them. They were fair in pricing. We called two other companies, and they were about the same price, although Gibraltar's measurement of area was off, and so they calculated more area, and the quote was more, but once they corrected the area, they were fine. We had also purchased a big deal for backsplash, but because of their incorrect measurement, and non-responsiveness, we decided not to go with them for both. It is difficult to contact them, but I cannot judge their work because there was nothing done. "

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.
