"Dale was very thorough in his examination of my situation and gave me clear explanations of what was going on. Other firms that quoted the work insisted that the entire basement needed to be done. Dale said that we only need to fix what is leaking. Cost to do that was one third that of other bids. Crew was on time, prompt and thorough. I would definitely use this firm again."

Shear Concrete LLC a family owned and opertated Concrete Contractor business for over 50 years. Located in Beloit WI. Shear Concrete LLC strives to do the best quality work at reasonable rates.

"It can be difficult  to find any contractor, involving a  homeowner service of any technical nature or  aesthetic importance that truly is impressive.   Well, we found one.   His firm is all any homeowner could hope for …  and more.   He’s incredibly reliable, when so many vendors are not.   He explains things clearly and stands by his promises.   He’s courteous to a fault. More than courteous, he’s genuinely friendly and outgoing…, in every respect a pleasure to deal with.   Important in terms of why we hired Shear Concrete, Trent has a conspicuous pride in his customer service and quality of workmanship. It’s far beyond what any homeowner reasonably could expect … and it’s at absolute the highest level.   Equally impressive, Trent‘s  service is provided at a fair price and precisely what the consumer was promised.   The workmanship was spectacular. Many contractors would think that a sidewalk simply is, well, “a sidewalk”. Not to Trent. His design AND workmanship are special … superb actually. Drive by and see for yourself … our Beloit address is below. Large brick house on Milwaukee Road, one lot short of Chapin.   Our crowning compliment is that we were so pleased with Shear Concrete’s work and friendly and businesslike approach that we immediately retained the company for ANOTHER PROJECT.   Anyone seeking more information is free to call Alan Truesdale @ 608.530.2893 Our address is 726 Milwaukee Road.   My best, Alan Truesdale"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

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.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching.
