"Too often contractors take a job then send someone else to do the work and they don't know what is expected/do a good job or add extra costs. David did everything himself from the framing and drywall work to plumbing / electrical / and painting which was wonderful. He did an excellent job at remodeling our basement. He did everything that was stated in the contract for the amount quoted. He does great work at reasonable prices. Will use him again for any future projects"

"Bill and his team are great! I hired them to remove my large sand mound, grade and prep a pole barn site! They then came back and installed a French drain, re-graded my driveway as well as did the finish landscaping. They were great from the beginning to the very end. I would HIGHLY recommend them for any of your excavating needs!"

"My initial contact was with Mark in late August or early September. We had arranged to meet and discuss the work that I wanted performed (pointing up the mortar on the brick chimney and under the windows on the front of the house). There were scheduling problems (for both parties) after one or two attempts and I was later contacted by Josh, who finally came out to my house in mid September to look at the job. I was impressed with Josh's knowledge, enthusiasm, and answers to my questions.
After discussing the scope of work to be performed, Josh assured me that someone would get back to me within a week with an estimate so we could schedule the job over the winter months. After a week went by, I called to see of they were working on an estimate and was assured that they "hadn't forgotten about me". After another 2 or 3 weeks, I called both Mark and Josh and left a message to see what was up as far as the estimate and scheduling.
It is now the second week in December and still I've heard nothing. I like these guys and I would like to have them perform the work, but at this point, I don't know if they are too busy or just don't want to do the work because it is not a big job. If that is the case, it would help if they would just tell me so. I hate to look elsewhere, but communication is an issue here so I may have to give up on these guys. Too bad.
I rated them as a "C" overall, with a "D" for responsiveness (or lack thereof) offset by a "B" in punctuality and professionalism
 for the time when Josh did show up.

"Mark Snyder at Handy Helpers LLC did a fantastic job on our remodel in Downingtown, PA. I shared my vision with him for the space, and he executed it beautifully. Mark was professional, prompt, and his price was very reasonable. I would hire him again without question and recommend him to friends and family!"

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Lancaster, PA

You can excavate in winter, but frozen soil slows down the process and increases labor costs. Many grading companies offer discounted rates during their off-season, so ask for a winter quote and weigh the savings against a longer timeline. A brief conversation with a local professional will help determine whether cold-weather excavation is suitable for your site.

Foundation digs can be completed in as little as three days or take up to three weeks. Soil density, access, weather, and hidden obstacles all play a role, so every timeline is a bit different. Have your contractor walk the site and flag any potential issues early—clear expectations help keep both the schedule and budget on track.

You must always call 811 before excavating. Dial 811 a few days in advance so that utility crews can mark underground lines and ensure the area is safe for digging. Hitting a buried cable or gas pipe can be both dangerous and expensive, and many municipalities will not issue permits unless the site is flagged correctly.

To remove soil during an excavation project, your crew will load the spoil into dump trucks with a backhoe or excavator, haul it to a disposal site, and return for the next load. Efficient hauling keeps the work zone clear and the project moving. Depending on the site and volume of osil, multiple trucks may rotate to maintain a steady flow.
