"I have used Sino for two major basement renovations at two different houses. We used them at our house in DC and then again when we moved to VA. Both projects turned out beautifully. Mason (the owner) is a great guy, and is a very good communicator via phone/email/text, so that?s a huge plus. We?ve been very pleased with the aesthetics of his work. He?s pretty close to a perfectionist, which I really like because so am I. There was at least one case where he proactively noticed and decided to re-do something b/c it was not symmetrical and he was convinced he could make it look better (which he did). I really appreciated that kind of attention to detail. 
Mason is good about working with you to get things the way you want them. I showed him a picture of a built-in (admittedly a comparatively simple one ? he opted out of doing something much more sophisticated involving custom drawers that would require a true cabinetmaker?s expertise) and his guys replicated it. And he seemed psyched to do that and pleased with how it turned out? I think he likes to expand his repertoire and portfolio. 
Sometimes planning and making all the timing work out was a bit of a challenge ? especially if I wanted to use materials sourced from anywhere other than Home Depot. In other words, if his guys couldn?t go to Home Depot to pick up whatever they needed when they needed it, sometimes they did not anticipate in advance what the materials were - or communicate that to me in time for me to order them without slowing down the project. When I ordered special doors (from a company on the 
West Coast) that took 3 weeks to arrive, it was clear that he wasn't super-happy about that. I'm sure he thought I was wildly high-maintentance! But he dealt with it fine, and now the doors look fabulous! 
Since he is a general contractor, I?ve found through experience that everything goes much more smoothly if you have his team do essentially all the work (except for specialty things like waterproofing which they don?t do). In a nutshell, I think because he's been burned in the past he?s reluctant to coordinate with other contractors; he just wants to use his subs. But in my experience that's fine because I do think his guys are great and they do really good work. If you find any slip-ups, he is great about fixing them promptly and without complaint. Sometimes when problems crop up he can come up with good solutions, although once in a while I thought of things he didn?t think of, and we used my solution. 
All in all I've had great experiences with S-A C and would definitely recommend them.

"After finding Tillerman Gardens online and requesting an estimate for substantial hardscape/landscape work on our newly renovated house, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that Jesse, the owner, actually grew up in our neighborhood! On top of being a Takoma Park local, and an all around friendly, honest, business owner, we also came to learn that he does great work as well! His team completely transformed our hardscape areas, including installing a beautiful flagstone walkway and patio, a perfectly graded cement driveway, iron railings on our steps, and plants in a number of locations. On top of that, some of the work required some touch up and sealing and Jesse and his team have come out a couple of times later this spring to do that work unprompted. There's a little bit left, but I know they'll be around to finish it as they've taken care of us every step of the way. Even better, everything was done in budget. Look no further! These are your go to guys for all landscape/hardscape work in the area!"

"Once we agreed on a price, Oliver quickly scheduled the service and my yard was cleaned up the next day. He sent 4 people over and they were done in about 4 hours for an extensive yard cleanup. I had a few minor issues that Oliver agreed with and had his team fix quickly. Oliver was very easy to work with. Would use again."

"I hired Ace to clean up the last two autumn's worth of leaves from my yard. The crew of three worked for four hours and cleared the worst of the build-up. They came with all the equipment needed for the job worked diligently for the entire time, and left my yard a lot clearer.

"These guys were excellent. I had originally hired them because I needed a major rush job done and they pulled it off. Then they
continued after the main issue was resolved and came back multiple times to do an extremely thorough job waterproofing the basement.  Whereas we would find puddles down there before, we have not had any issues since they were there.  They did all kinds of things ? from putting some kind of stripping on the base of the walls to building an entire roof over my back stairs to adding a French drain to putting covers on all the basement windows. And they did all this for significantly less money than other companies quoted us - and those other guys did not offer nearly as much work!  Incredible.
The one lack I would say this company had was the timing issue. On more than one occasion were told they were on their way, but they only showed up hours later.  Also, sometimes they would be working in the basement and kind of just disappear without the work being finished, later explaining they had to run to another job. All of which was fine with me ? after the initial work, we weren?t in a big rush.  But it is something to note.
Notwithstanding that issue, we were very pleased and are recommending them to anyone who asks about such services.

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

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.

Soil testers and licensed excavators are often the professionals you hire if you need a perc test. In some cases, structural engineers will also be able to conduct the test for you. In many municipalities, you’ll need your professional on-site to dig and fill the holes with water, as well as a representative from your local building department or health department. That representative is the individual who will determine whether your test passes or fails.

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.

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.

Costs vary, but you can expect to spend between $1,000 and $4,000 to prepare land for a mobile home or before you build a house. You’ll need to clear enough land for the foundation, which may require leveling or grading, as well as removing trees, stumps, and plants. Don’t forget to plan for permits and fees and the installation of a gas line, water line, and sewer main.
