"Mr. Murphy and his employee clearly had much experience at their work, and did it efficiently. They were prompt and courteous, and treated both their equipment and my property with care. Mr. Murphy was happy to discuss options when I had questions. When they got to my property, Mr. Murphy saw that there was more work to be done. Then we had discussed; suggested that we alter our contract to include the additional work, and charged me fairly for that extra work. I was grateful for his suggestion that the extra work be done, and grateful for his being prepared to do it."

"We chose General Construction Services after receiving a number of bids from local contractors that priced the cost of finishing our basement & building a deck at a much higher level than what Dennis at General Construction Services offered. Not only was the cost of the construction affordable, we were very impressed with the outcome. The deck is a great addition to our home and the quality of the finished basement met the expectation of matching the style, color and feel of the rest of the house. Lastly, Dennis' crew is professional and courteous. We recommend General Construction Services for all of your construction needs--they are affordable, professional, and produce a high quality product"

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

You will find a collection of licensed land surveyors in your area. Your real estate agent or construction manager may also be able to recommend a trusted professional. When speaking with prospective pros in your area, ask the land surveyor if they are licensed in the state, have liability insurance, and can quote you a fee before starting.

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.

Several government-backed lending programs can help first-time home buyers purchase a home with little money down. FHA, USDA, and VA loans are options for qualifying borrowers, though many conventional mortgage lenders will lower down payment rates to as low as 3 percent.

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’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.
