Do you measure from 0 or 1 on a measuring tape?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

What happens if your land survey is inaccurate?

• <div><p>If you or your mortgage lender think your land survey needs to be more accurate, double-check the survey report and get at least a second opinion from the original surveyor and an inspector, if possible. Although it’s unlikely, even reputable surveying companies can make mistakes. An inaccurate survey can cause problems down the road in the case of any property line disputes, so it’s best to resolve any inaccuracies as quickly as possible.</p></div>

Why should I have my land surveyed?

Some common reasons to have your land surveyed include:</p><ul><li><p>Planning for construction projects, like building a fence</p></li><li><p>Locating utilities, such as plumbing fixtures</p></li><li><p>Settling property line disputes </p></li><li><p>Creating subdivisions </p></li><li><p>Meeting mortgage requirements</p></li><li><p>Selling your property</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

They were on time and brought enough people to finish the job in two days. They were also able to notice a few potential issues and we solved them as an addendum to the job (rotting tree sloping land). A year later and my lawn still looks good...with their bi-weekly grass-cutting of course.

I provided the paint and the painters arrived and worked until they finished the hallway, stairway, and landing of colonial house. We were very pleased with the work and the price. And they were able to reach the very high places that are difficult to reach without the right equipment.
