"This kis the second major remodel project I have hired Mr. Meyers for. It can be difficult finding contractors for my fourth floor walk up condo. The project was basically three stages, all done expertly. First, Billy completed demolished and gutted the room, expertly handling all garbage management, carpet cutting, and furniture removal. Not an easy task with 75 stairs. He noticed a small bug infestation and went the extra mile and bleach mopped the entire floor. The second stage involved the spackling, sanding, complete painting of the room, always at least two coats. I will tell you he is a terrible singer, but he is definitely passionate. Painting skills are beyond extraordinary The third stage involved the laying of a beautiful snap in flooring system, new base boards, outlet covers, and blinds.. Once again 75 stairs from the street. As an added bonus Billy even assembled new bed frame and mattress from new in box (amazon).. I was most amazed when he set up my cat's litter box too. Overall I plan on hiring him again to do a kitchen remodel down the road if he is available. As aside note Billy is very trustworthy, I would often fall asleep in the next room to his terrible singing. Finally, cleanliness is godliness. Billy is godly."

"Also completed a screened-in porch, outdoor lighting, faux brick vinyl siding. All work well-done. Bruce was great to work with and the staff was excellent. (e.g. Attention to detail, hard workers, cleaned-up daily)."

FAQs for excavation projects in Mays Landing, NJ

Depth depends on the type of installation and the regulations in your area. Water supply lines typically require 24 inches, while drainage pipes are often installed 36 inches below grade. For most general projects, a depth of 12 to 24 inches and a width of about eight inches is sufficient. Sticking to these specs keeps your utilities safe, code-compliant, and easier to maintain later.

When you need to run utilities underground, you’ve got two main options: boring or trenching. Boring employs directional drilling to install utilities without exposing a continuous channel, while trenching requires excavating an open channel to place utilities securely. Directional drilling preserves landscape integrity, whereas trenching provides direct access for installation, albeit with greater surface disruption. This clear comparison helps you select the method best suited to your project.

Plan on 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet when the soil is cooperative and you can work continuously. This timeframe applies when work is performed consistently and methodically. Factors such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and frozen ground increase the overall duration, demanding extra planning and effort. Comprehensive operational planning ensures that every challenge is managed efficiently and the project is completed on schedule.

If you want your yard to look untouched, laying fresh sod over the trench is the quickest fix. New sod needs 30 to 45 days to root and blend with the rest of your lawn. A local sod pro can provide you with a firm timeline and tips to ensure the grass takes hold and maintains your curb appeal.
