"ALL SERVICE CALLS exceeded our expectations & provided excellent & prompt work at our home. From the timely, prompt & fair estimate to setting an appointment within 2 days, we were pleased with their labor. The team arrived on Thursday early & completed the work of clearing our trees & overgrowth within 4 hours. They also hauled away the debris. I plan to hire them again as for a few other projects as trees/landscaping is just one aspect of what they do. SIMPLY AWESOME. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL SERVICE CALLS LLC."

"Our family has been working on a clean out, demo, and refinishing of our Grandma's Basement. We have used this service to haul away garbage and debris on two separate occasions. The Junk Relief office was responsive, estimates could be done through text by sending photos, the price was extremely reasonable (priced per truck load with labor included *compared to* $200+ per small bagster bag). Each time drivers were attentive, prompt, and efficient. 10/10 recommend for the Chicagoland Area."

"When we bought this house we were planning to renovate the basement.  The previous owner had represented that it had never taken on water.  The first weekend we were here, however, a torrential rainstorm caused the basement to flood.  We realized we needed to waterproof it before we could do anything else, and decided that drain tiling was the safest way to go.
Greg was phenomenally responsive from the start.  He was very clear about what needed to be done and how they would do it.  He also described some optional work but was explicit that it was optional and if it didn't fit within our budget that was that, and he wasn't going to push it the slightest bit.  His quote blew away the bigger, well-known firm and was less than or on a par with some others.  He also agreed to demo the walls for a slight extra charge, which otherwise would have been a huge convenience for us.  Between then and the start of work I emailed him repeatedly with various questions and he responded almost instantly.  When his workers took down the paneling we got the unpleasant news that we had huge cracks in the walls that would need to be tuckpointed and in one area a big chunk of foundation was jutting from the wall.  That section of the foundation would need to be replaced and a support beam installed.  We were more or less at Greg's mercy at this point -- we weren't going to halt work and bring in a series of guys to quote the tuckpointing & repair -- but Greg gave us an estimate of $2,600-$3,000.  We can't know for sure, but suspect that this price was more than fair, and Greg stuck to it even though we think the work turned out to be more than they expected.
The project manager, Jim, was fantastic to work with throughout, very communicative and accomodating, and the crew of five guys or so was extremely friendly and professional.  All in all, A Perfect Crawlspace was a pleasure to work with and we could not be happier with the results.

"Dominic came out and did the quote to bury to drain pipes from the gutters. He proposed solutions and locations for the lines. He understand my concern with the garden and visability. It took me some time to pull the trigger on the project. He honored the price, always called back promptly. They do have a heavy work load and it took a while to get on the schedule, they didn't do a reminder call for Julie to me so that was a challenge (they could do that to improve efficiency). The team arrived on time, finished the project early. They cut up the grass and were careful of the wiring for landscape lighting. The yard was put back together like it never happened, I'm not sure the grass will survive but were almost a week and its still trying, but not their fault. The team was professional cleaned up the project. I didn't watch to see how many holes they put in the pipe and I should of done that, as they closed it up before I went back outside. I would recommend telling them you wish to view that. I also special ordered white filters so they matched the gutter/downspout vs black. I may have to trim the gutter as they left a large amount to ensure the pieces don't slip but the leaves seem to have gotten stuck with the lighter rain. All in all very pleased."

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

In Chicago, land surveying contractors typically specialize in services such as boundary surveys, property surveys, ALTA/NSPS land title surveys for commercial properties, topographic surveys for site planning, and construction staking. Some firms focus on urban infill or historic neighborhoods, offering expertise in navigating Chicago’s unique lot layouts and zoning codes. Always select a surveying contractor familiar with local permitting and dense city infrastructure.

Helpful?

In Chicago, homeowners often overlook the need to check for utility easements or fail to communicate with neighbors about shared boundaries. Skipping a site plan review or not marking existing survey points can create future headaches. Rushing the process or choosing a surveying contractor without local experience may lead to compliance issues, especially in areas with complex zoning or floodplain considerations. Always keep survey documents accessible for future reference.

Helpful?

In Chicago, a standard residential property survey usually takes between one and three weeks, while commercial or ALTA surveys may extend up to six weeks. Factors like winter weather, access to older city lots, and the need for historical research can impact timelines. Scheduling your land surveying project during spring or fall can help avoid delays common in Chicago’s harsh winters and busy summer construction season.

Helpful?

Completing land surveying in Chicago offers immediate benefits like clearly defined property boundaries, which is crucial in the city’s tightly packed neighborhoods. In the long term, a professional property survey safeguards your investment, helps prevent boundary disputes, and supports compliance with local zoning and floodplain regulations—especially important for properties near Lake Michigan or the Chicago River, where development and environmental factors often intersect.

Helpful?

Coordinating land surveying with upgrades like new fencing, landscaping, or driveway installation in Chicago can streamline your project and reduce disruptions. By aligning your property survey with permit applications or site plans, you minimize the risk of rework and ensure all improvements meet local zoning requirements. Planning projects together also helps you take advantage of contractors’ availability during Chicago’s optimal building seasons.
