"Ken was fantastic! I could only pick one type of service or project but for our landscape project Ken did minor grading, carved out a 'riverbed', built a short retaining wall, placed large boulders (and gave good recommendations on where to get rocks of all varieties). He is the most humble guy, friendly, and hard working. He has a crew of helpers but Ken was always there doing most of the work. Ken is a busy guy but he works hard at making sure your job is done in a timely manner and he is good about notifying you of any delays. I felt this was reasonable as construction jobs rarely go like clockwork. Very fair pricing, too! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or use his services again."

"Mr. Parks and his workers were thorough, polite and efficient. My gutters were full and badly clogged because of several years of neglect. They removed all debris from my roof and dug out the gutters by hand until they got water freely flowing through the downspouts. It was a positive experience from beginning to end."

"I contacted Gabriel and explained the problem. He came out the same day and gave me an estimate. I had received an estimate from another plumber. Gabriel was a fraction of the previous estimate. He did the job and it works great. I was very happy with his professionalism, quality of work and pricing. I will definitely use his service in the future."

"Our main sewer line backed up on Saturday afternoon. After a bit of research on Angie's List, I called The Drain Company around 3:00 and was given a verbal dollar estimate ($145 minimum on the weekend) and a time estimate of between 5:00 and 8:00 PM. I received a call from Kent at 5:15 PM that he was on the way. He arrived about a half an hour later. He sent the snake down the line, and it soon cleared the clog. He left it going for several extra feet to make sure to clear any additional roots all the way to the street.

They were friendly, polite, and knew the job. They were on time and met the agreed on price. I would not hesitate to call them again!"

"They did a wonderful job, they were on time, they worked above and beyond of what they did for me, I will be hiring them again this coming January or February, but we will definitely use them again. The work they did was amazing, carrying things over a bridge into their hauling truck. Very reasonable pricing."

"From our first phone conversation that we had with Eli at SES builders, I understood that this is a different company that work differently from all the other ones. Eli really understood the value of the relationship that must have when a remodeling project is achieved and he understood clearly our expectations. During our meetings at our that house, Eli didn’t relied just on our personal design concepts and more than that, his design process started with our design preferences and included additional solutions to several items that we wanted to have but unfortunately they couldn’t be implemented. One of the ideas of Eli was to take down one wall that separated our kitchen from the rest of the house and we loved that idea because it made the house with a much larger open space. The remodeling went fast and Eli made sure that the crew will work at the house on a daily basis making sure that the daily tasks will be accomplished. While the work was in progress, Eli went with us to several vendors in order to select the right materials for our remodeling. We are very happy with everything they did for us and our remodeling present how professional and knowledgeable this company is as well as thorough and original."

"Good guys, good price, marginal work.
The >outdoor patio< paint job went mostly ok. A couple of spots no one would notice (I just did while up on roof) went untouched but mostly good work.
The >breezeway<...ugh. This is a partially covered exterior entryway. The exposed six-inch beam header for the entry doors - the top was completely untouched. As they painted the walls over the door, easily accessible and visible to them. The stucco was a lighter color and trim darker - in places where I had applied caulk at the seams between the two, the caulk (white) remained unpainted and now glares out at me like a neon sign.
entryway...ugh again. This is a two+ story entryway, with curving staircase to the second story. The prep work, even though promised to be thorough was abysmal. Holes from previous picture hooks were simply painted over instead of patch and scuff sand. Unfinished (needed scuff sand again) wall repairs were mostly ignored and painted over. I said I would come back and high gloss paint the trim/baseboards and in many places the wall paint didn't go all the way up to the trimwork. There were also a few spots where it seemed two painter met in the middle of the wall and didn't thoroughly (or properly) overlap their work. Very sad.
In all fairness -
1. I was recovering from cancer surgery at the time and (clearly) should and could have done a better job of supervising the work being performed.

2. I shared my disappointment with Cynthia at Regal and she seemed interested...but taking pictures and emailing them just turned out to be a bigger challenge than I was up to at the time.
3. The crew was friendly, and very professional in their conduct throughout the handful of days they were in my home. But my definition of "Professionalism" includes paying attention to quality of standards, not what one can 'get away' with.

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

Detailed mapping of elevation changes and natural features on the property.

Measure from zero on a measuring tape by placing the metal hook right up against the edge of what you need to measure. You can also latch the hook onto an open edge—of, say, a table—to accurately measure as well. If you begin at the 1-inch mark, you'll need to subtract an inch from your total.

With proper training and experience, reading blueprints is fairly straightforward and not very difficult. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge to interpret the symbols, abbreviations, and other notations used, blueprints may not make sense. Learning to read blueprints can help you understand the construction process and keep you more involved and informed when you’re building a house.

ALTA/ACSM surveys are the most comprehensive type of land survey and, as such, tend to be the most expensive. These surveys have standardized guidelines and reports and are used in many kinds of real estate transactions to ensure consistent and accurate information is available for properties.

The small lines on the tape measure either indicate inches, fractions of an inch, or centimeters and millimeters. On the imperial unit side (aka the inches side), the longest lines indicate inches, followed by the next shortest lines that indicate a half-inch, and then the quarter, eighth, and sixteenth-inch. On the metric side, the lines break down meters, centimeters, and millimeters.
