Michael was able to come to our house the day after we first called which was great. He had a co-worker with him and they worked on this project for four hours. Everytime they went outside they came back into the house with shoe coverings even though I insisted that wasn't necessary. Michael surveyed our situation amd then explained clearly what was needed. From the moment I met him I knew I had called the right company. Just the nicest guy and provides outstanding customer service. Would hire him again in a second and simply cannot recommend him highly enough."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/lancaster/dryer-vent-wizard-of-central-ma-reviews-8461084.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Adams Landscape Construction & Design","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"George S."},"reviewBody":"Warren Sawyer and his crew are not just professional and competent landscapers - they are also artists. After first removing several large tree stumps, they graded the property, installed drainage pipes and granite steps. Working with the terrain, they sculpted our land to create a terraced pathway with stone steps that blend naturally into the look of our property. Additionally, they created beautiful curved planting beds, a bluestone patio and walkway areas with organic shapes, and seeded the lawn. After our initial meeting with Warren, he returned with a preliminary plan. During all meetings and discussions about the plan and the work, he thoughtfully listened to us and provided guidance and expertise in a collaborative manner that facilitated a very pleasing end result. He and his team always answered our many questions in a professional manner, educating us about our various options. Warren presented a clearly written statement of work so that all parties knew what was included in the job. We (not Adams Landscaping) had some timing/logistical issues which required some of the work to be done in phases, and they worked with us and our schedule to complete the items as agreed. At our initial meeting, we had asked if our yard could be saved. We can enthusiastically say that it has been and we are enjoying our new and very improved professionally and artistically landscaped property. We would highly recommend Adams Landscaping and will continue to use them for additional work that we are considering."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/pepperell/adams-landscape-construction-and-design-reviews-6500869.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Lowes","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Patricia C."},"reviewBody":"The most important thing for future customers who need deliveries to know is: 1) ask for an operator to connect you, and 2) insist on only dealing with the delivery manager or the and quot;manager-in-chargeand quot; of the store. Never, ever call the store and ask for the Appliance Deptartment regarding any aspects of your delivery. For the most recent fridge I bought, a special-ordered black refrigerator going into an apartment I rent out in the North End, I was told that the delivery team did not have to deliver the frdige if it meant risking a parking ticket. So, to ensure the smoothest delivery, I told Lowe's that the refrigerator needed to be delivered in the morning. (The North End has many and quot;Commercial Parking Onlyand quot; spaces open between 8am-12 noon - - spaces specificially left open so that delivery trucks can make deliveries.) Unidentified people from the Lowe's applicance dept. kept calling me at home telling me I had to re-confirm delivery. They never left their name, merely messages, and quot;This is Lowe's calling. You must call us to confirm delivery.and quot; The one-time the delivery manager, Kate, called me she left me a voicemail similar to, and quot;This is Kate from Lowe's calling. You need to call us to reconfirm delivery.and quot; She never identified herself as the delivery manager, only first name. Later the manager-in-charge told me Kate was the delivery manager. One Tuesday evening between 4:30pm-7:30pm I called the Lowe's Appliance dept four separate times to try to re-confirm delivery. No-one in the Appliance dept answered any of the four phone calls, their phone just rang and rang, until I finally hung up. O.K. I finally confirm the delivery. When do they schedule me? Between 2pm and 4pm on a Thursday. Worn down by the incessant back-and-forth phone calls to Lowe's, their leaving me voicemails from unidentied Lowe's employees, my attempted communications with the store - - I sit on the outside stoop of the North End building waiting for the delivery truck. The truck shows up and live parks at a hydrant. Suprise! There are no legal parking spaces available to park in. We agree that the truck driver will talk to his manager to schedule me for next Monday moring. (I had a church meeting on Friday morning. So Monday was my next available time to accept a delivery.) Later that evening, I get a call that my fridge is scheduled for Friday delivery. I speak to delivery scheduler and push it off to Monday morning . On Monday, the fridge is delivered. To get this fridge delivered took betwwen 10-20 phone calls or attempted phone calls - I literally felt like I was banging my head against a brick wall over-and-over. The first fridge I bought from Lowe's in May of 2013, to my home in Somerville, took four devliery attempts. The first delivery attempt, the driver showed up, took out a measuring tape, pretended to measure my back stairs - - then he pronounced that the fridge wouldn't fit up the back stairs. I insisted the fridge would fit, a second delivery was scheduled, and the delivery team stood me up. No-one called. I stayed home on the allotted date and time they scheduled me for, and no-one showed up. So for the next delivery attemp, I insisted the fridge would fit up the back stairs and insisted on a different delivery team. On the third scheduled delivery, the delivery team took the fridge doors off, and brought the fridge into the house. Unfortunately when they put the fridge doors back on, they did it incorrectly. The fridge beeped incessantly. So, a fourth visit was scheduled, with a Lowe's service provider and they fixed the fridge. Multiple phone calls were required for each of these four visits into Somerville. Both refrigerator deliveries were awful, so awful, that I believe Lowe's and their delivery agent, are and quot;gamingand quot; the customer surveys by only surveying customers whose deliveries went well. Then they can feed these phony, trumped-up-statistics to their management. (I was never surveyed on the second refrigerator delivery into the North End and told to restrict my comments to only the last delivery team on my first refrigerator delivery into Somerville.)

We could not be more pleased by the final product and are very impressed beyond expectations. Mike the mason who built the chimney is a gifted artist. The chimney looks like it has always been there snd he captured the style that you would find in the 1870's. The corbel adds style and elegance to our home. Mike and his assistant Jose were very professional from the initial meeting and set up of equipment, to the completion of the job and cleaning up. The office staff Caitlin and Lindsay responded to our urgency to get this job done before the bad weather came and they too were very patient and professional.
I would like to strongly recommend Best Chimney Services and would absolutely use their services again.

"Scott was great. I needed a survey completed because my neighbor thought he owned half of my driveway. Scott came out and did my survey, and gave me a CAD drawing as well as a certified plan. However, my neighbor was still not satisfied, so Scott came out again to stake the yard and re-check some measurements. I would definitely recommend Cerrato Survey."

FAQs for land surveying projects in Somerville, MA
Land surveying can help give clear guidance on your property boundaries for numerous situations. And in some cases, having your land surveyed is a requirement. Some common reasons to have your land surveyed include:
Planning for construction projects, like building a fence
Locating utilities, such as plumbing fixtures
Settling property line disputes
Creating subdivisions
Meeting mortgage requirements
Selling your property
Land surveying costs about $530 for the average homeowner. However, your total cost could range anywhere from $200 to $1,000 or more. Factors like the size of your property play a significant role in what you pay, but other things like the survey type and the time of year can also impact the final cost.
For example, if you’re looking for a simple boundary survey, you can expect to pay between $100 and $600. However, if you want a more in-depth survey that depicts the elevations of your hills and trees, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for a topographic survey.
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.
Land survey reports provide a lot of helpful information about your property and land. The exact information provided depends on the type of survey you have done, but common information that they can provide includes:
Location of utility fixtures
Clear boundaries and dimensions of your property
General topography
Land elevation information
Confirmation of easements or encroachments
Land surveys don’t technically expire. They do serve as a point of reference and a snapshot of your property, though, so as soon as you make changes to your property (and even if your neighbor makes certain changes to theirs), your existing land survey becomes inaccurate, and a new one must be done. Even if you don’t make any changes to your property, many states only guarantee the accuracy of a land survey for five to ten years.
