Our core business is kitchen and bath remodeling and all the things that go along with that. We do much more than just cabinets. In addition to fabricating our own cabinets, we do floors, counters, tile, painting, plumbing, electrical etc. We take on the whole project and take the worry away from the customer. We work with customers on design and try to achieve their vision at a cost they can afford. We also do closets, shelving, media centers and any other project that relates to interior remodeling. Do you want to remove a load bearing wall to increase the size of your kitchen? No problem. Do you need a room addition? No problem. Do you just want your existing cabinets refaced or painted? No problem. If a permit is required for you project, we are licensed (VA Contractor's #2705114948). Since every project is unique, I will work up a quote after meeting with you and going over your requirements and the scope of work. On small jobs, I generally require a deposit and bill the balance on completion. On larger jobs, I will set up a payment schedule. I will accept checks, cash or PayPal (you pay fee).

"Have worked w/Bob Stahl since 2012 (Stahl Cabinets is now Neptune Kitchen and Bath), and was so pleased with his work that we've not used anyone else since. After some cosmetic improvements to our kitchen, powder room, and (ex) wet bar area in 2012, we decided in 2017 to upgrade our master bath, and the result was beyond our expectations (7 pix-) - could not be more pleased! We then, earlier this year/2019, decided to upgrade the guest bathroom (4 pix); convert the old brick/ceramic tile, non-working fireplace (1 pix; gas insert includes backlit/colored pebbles); bar area (1 pix, added wine racks); powder room vanity (1 pix); as well as change the kitchen cabinetry color (from polyurethane golden oak to white/peripheral cabinets, and mint green/island) (2 pix) ... again, outstanding results! Finally, we installed built-in shelving in the FROG (office), with a library ladder - quite pleased! Constant communication on both schedule and cost (on target, no surprises) - will not work with anyone else!. We recommend Neptune unconditionally!"

"This was my first time using Forest Electric but it will not be my last. Gordon was more responsive than some of the other contractors I contacted (answered calls or returned missed calls the same day, returned all emails the same day or before 8 a.m. the following morning) and he and his crew were professional and pleasant to be around. They were able to perform the job I needed faster than two other contractors I contacted and at a better price. They kept the work site clean and did a great job."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenches are typically 12 inches to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, your city or county may have specific ordinances that clarify the dimensions needed for the project. For instance, a water pipe may need to be 24 inches deep, but a drainage pipe may need to be 36 inches deep.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more. 

What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Septic tanks are typically buried between four inches and four feet deep, depending on the property, the soil, and the size of the tank. When the septic tank is buried on the deeper end of this range, it may be harder for you to locate it on your own with a soil probe or just by observing the yard for signs of the tank. However, if you have trouble finding the septic tank, a pro will be happy to help you.
