"Fantastic! There was great communication, very responsive, positive interactions with all involved from Air Temp Solutions. They did a wonderful job from beginning to end. From the first phone call to a minor question with the final invoice, I couldn't have asked for better service. I would highly recommend Air Temp Solutions to anyone."

"Great service.  Called for an estimate.  We both got an estimate from the phone and from the guy coming in person.  On the day of the work, everything went great.  Even when their job became more complicated due to things they found, it seemed all in a day's work.  Great Job.  Thank You."

"Mike Widdoes came out promptly, and I was impressed. He's clearly been in the business a long time, knows his stuff, made several helpful suggestions, is friendly and professional. Unfortunately I had gotten myself in a bind (long story) and needed someone very quickly (less than 2 weeks lead time). Since Widdoes is busy (that's a good sign), they couldn't meet my timing needs and I went with someone else (I told Mike not to spend time working up an actual quote since the timing wouldn't work, so I can't comment on price). However, if I need concrete work done in the future, I'll definitely call Mike."

"

Frank came to our house on time and discussed with us what we wanted to do. He provided a verbal

quote which we thought was fair. He advised with a date that his team could start. He kept in contact with us when the project start date was delayed due to the weather. Once the weather cleared his team showed up on time early and got the work. I will say that the team was nice and very professional. They are very hard workers and was on the site for the entire day until about 4:30

The next day the team returned along with Frank who was very hands on for the laying of the blacktop. I really appreciated that Frank is involved with the projects that makes the homeowner feel that there is an expectation of excellence. We even had Frank and his team create a beautiful retaining wall the same day. Amazing.

"Everything was excellent. The team identified the hole in our pool liner. On the day of replacing the liner, identified a potentially severe issue with the structure of the pool. Provided a recommendation for a replacement pool. Proceeded to remove the old pool and excavate the land in preparation for construction of the new pool. Once the new pool arrived, they constructed the pool and constructed new outline landscaping around the pool. We are now the envy of our neighbors who have all watched and gazed in amazement at our new backyard oasis. For all of your pool needs, this is who you need to contact ASAP."

"Dear Angi, Chris Clark, the owner of Clark Chimney & Masonry, came out to my home within a few days after our initial phone conversation... He provided me with an estimate later that day... He arrived with his Crew a day later which I found to be very impressive... I originally thought it would be several months before the project could even be started!!! The two Fellows working for him were extremely Professional, Kind, Respectful, and Courteous... Not only did they do my Pellet Stove Installation, they also moved around furniture for me to help clear up my living space... Chris and his Crew did an amazing job and I am so grateful... Now, my Family and I can enjoy the wonderful warmth of our pellet stove... Many Thankx to Clark Chimney & Masonry... You have truly earned our future business..."

"Our property has a considerable size asphalt driveway and turnaround (over 6,000 SF total) which was approaching 30 years of age. At the time the builder did a minimal install of 1-2 inches asphalt top with a questionable base. In spite of maintaining and sealing as possible, the drive had substantially deteriorated and a large challenge to restore. Pictures are included with sample areas shown. We searched extensively for a technically competent and trustworthy paving contractor to rebuild and improved the driveway/turnaround, and selected Keystone Paving to do the work. Mike (Keystone’s owner/operator) reviewed the situation and recommended a complete tear-up, base (emphasizing), a separate binder course and finish course. Other contractors offered a wide range of ‘interesting’ and similar solutions, but given our experience with Mike, his remarkable references and very competitive pricing we felt Keystone was the way to go. In summary we would not regret our decision. Due to time of year and weather (cold, rainy in late 2018) Mike was still able to remove the old asphalt, correct all of the bad areas, base with 2A (and 3A) modified stone, then install a substantial asphalt binder layer; the goal of achieving quality similar to a public roadway. In 2019 Keystone completed the work, updating binder as needed, then paving with a significant asphalt finish course; in total with absolutely excellent results, both in regards to durability and aesthetically; pictures included here. Mike also corrected the grade to assure proper drainage and drivability, as well as expanding key areas for better utility. They seamlessly and cleanly blended all of the work into the new flagstone walkways, both garages (separate buildings), drains, retaining wall, etc. They treat your property as if their own. Mike was always on site when any work needed to be done or assessed. He is respectful, always acts in the customers best interest and clearly takes pride in the Keystone team’s work; closely manages the entire situation, with proven impressive results. Plus, he has decades of technical experience and knowledge which was invaluable to tap for our particular project; critical given the current conditions and size of the effort. We would be remiss if we didn’t also mention the quality, care and thoroughness of everyone involved from Keystone, each member working diligently together, under Mike’s direction for efficiency and first-class outcome. We are ecstatic about the new driveway & turnaround, have to-date received countless compliments on it and the improvement to curb appeal. In our view, you simply cannot go wrong with Keystone & Mike; we definitely made the best decision, and will absolutely be utilizing Keystone in the future for any follow up efforts (sealing, etc.). Mike was key to the success of the project."

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

A few different types of land surveys can help determine certain features and boundaries of your property. These include:

  • Boundary surveys describe the actual borders of a property. These are generally required when trying to get construction permits issued. 

  • Location surveys provide much of the same information as a boundary survey but also include in-depth information about any improvements made to your property. 

  • Mortgage location surveys are usually required by lenders and title companies before financing or offering an insurance policy. 

  • Site-planning surveys are done before applying for building permits and can be issued before any major home improvements. 

  • Topographic surveys provide a formal map of land elevations. It can also describe the location and size of natural features and any land improvements.

Pros will assess your soil type, property geography, and rain patterns for optimal slope.

To prepare for a land survey, you must thoroughly check your land surveyor’s qualifications, reviews, and fees to align with your expectations. When it is time for the survey to be conducted, ensure that you have all your documents organized and available, know and mark your property lines, and inform your neighbors that the survey is happening.

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.

Depending on the type of land survey, the report will mark the boundaries of your property, the topographical changes of the landscape, as well as major natural and added structures to the plot. A more detailed survey, like an as-built survey, will note the measurements of the structures and landscape following major construction. A topographic survey will also help your contractor determine the cost of land development projects.
