Who does a perc test?

• <div><p>Soil testers and licensed excavators are often the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-does-perc-tests.htm">professionals you hire if you need a perc test</a>. In some cases, structural engineers will also be able to conduct the test for you. In many municipalities, you’ll need your professional on-site to dig and fill the holes with water, as well as a representative from your local building department or health department. That representative is the individual who will determine whether your test passes or fails. </p></div>

Will I need permits to build a home?

• <div><p>Yes, new home construction will always require <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permits</a>, no matter where you live. In most cases, you’ll need a general construction permit, along with plumbing and electrical permits for the utility lines in your home. Depending on where you live, you’ll likely find that you also need permits for things like connection to a sewage system or installing exterior components, like decks, driveways, patios, and curb cutouts. Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.</p></div>

Q: How do you build a road on a slope?

• <div><p>Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn&rsquo;t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.</p></div>

Q: What do land surveys typically include?

• <div><p>Property lines, building locations, and potential encroachments are mapped.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it getting a land survey?

• <div><p>Land surveys are worth it in several scenarios including selling your home, building an addition, constructing a fence, or making major changes to your landscape. A professional land survey can help you avoid legal issues with your neighbors and confirm the value of your property. In many cases, you may be required to order a land survey to receive a construction permit or mortgage loan.</p></div>

Mr. Yates did an excellent job removing two trees from my property. The trees were dead and at risk of falling on my home and power lines. His work was quick and efficient and was willing to work with me on scheduling issues. Would recommend Mr. Yates for any of your land service needs!

I had an very large oak stump that I needed to grind. I contacted Albertson land. They came out the same day to give an estimate. They offered a fair price that I accepted. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the work they did. They feel that the job isn’t done until I’m satisfied. If you’re...

Very happy with the way my home turned out, but the process of getting all the finish work (easiest part of the job) was a hassel. First of all no one informed us that our land had to be level or that we had to pay one year of home insurance before the home was delivered. We found this out the...
