"I'd like to thank Mark Rosio & his crew for the beautiful job they did installing a new asphalt roof w/ black seamless gutters on our log home. First of all, his quote was $5K cheaper than the other roofers & he offered a 10% discount for cash (which was a bit spooky for me initially but he has renewed my faith there really are good & honest contractors) & they showed up promptly as promised. The crew had a few warm days & very cold days, but completed everything regardless & really did a nice job. They also picked up their things & were very nice to visit with as well. Honestly, if Mark did other projects, he'd be our go to guy but roofing is his specialty, to which we're grateful. Fyi: He presented all the required certificates & licensing required in WI, to me before payment which I was happy about as well. Thank you Mark & Crew for your great job."

"Hired Dennis to remove several yards of dirt from my driveway and he had same day availability at a very reasonable price that beat all other quotes (less than half the price). He even helped me move the rest of my mulch pile around my yard. Would highly recommend, great experience!"

"The staff seem to be really good and professional people. The reason for my 2-star rating is that the work done simply didn't deliver on expectations of durability. There are sections of my driveway where nearly all of the seal coating came off in less than 9 months, so I am going to have to re-do the job myself. This is not what I had in mind when I paid over $1,100 (a fair price, if it would have lasted longer). I understand that the work isn't covered anymore, as I didn't report it until the thaw revealed so much was missing, and I'm not upset with Merit or their staff. I am simply very disappointed that it didn't even last 1 year. Images here: [*** Link removed ***] [*** Link removed ***]"

"Amazing service and results. We were thrilled with the project outcome; Joe was conscientious, efficient and thoughtful. The skills applied enabled our yard to be “grass ready” with very little additional prep work. We would definitely retain services for any new projects and recommend to others-we already have ? !"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.

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.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.
