Q: Should I hire a land surveyor before installing a new fence?

• <div><p>It is almost always necessary to <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/land-surveying/">hire a land surveyor near you</a> to ensure your fence sits on the right side of the property line. Mistaking the shape of your property can lead to fines and costly changes if you have to move or adjust the privacy fence&mdash;not to mention some surly looks from your neighbor. We recommend jumpstarting your fence planning in the spring to ensure there is plenty of time to map out your plan before construction season.</p></div>

Q: How do you calculate real estate development costs?

• <div><p>You should always calculate real estate development costs on a case-by-case basis, so there&rsquo;s no specific formula to estimate your total. You should speak with a local construction manager to see what you&rsquo;ll need to do in terms of clearing and leveling the land, connecting utilities, and pulling permits for construction. A professional will be able to get you an accurate estimate for land development. </p></div>

Q: What do the little lines on the tape measure mean?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do well drillers know where to drill?

• <div><p>Professional well contractors may use electromagnetic mapping to look for places with a high likelihood of water. Water access can vary significantly, even on the same property, so it can be difficult to know where to drill if you don&rsquo;t have specialized tools to look for water.</p></div>

Q: How do I hire a land surveyor?

• <div><p>To hire a land surveyor, you need to start by searching online for reputable professionals in your area. Here are a few steps to take when making a shortlist:</p><ul><li><p>Browse land surveyor service website</p></li><li><p>Check credentials</p></li><li><p>Read customer reviews</p></li><li><p>Find their contact information</p></li><li><p>Call or email to inquire about more information</p></li><li><p>Ask how far they travel, if you&rsquo;re some distance away</p></li><li><p>Find out how they charge for their services</p></li><li><p>Ask about schedule and turnaround times</p></li><li><p>Repeat these steps for one to two other services and compare pricing</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Wow! Paul and his team did an excellent job. We should have done this sooner! Expanding the landing, pouring new stairs for the front, and creating a curved walkway completely transformed the look of our house. The crew was professional and friendly. The price was very reasonable. Highly...

Slow to set up site survey ($35) then they showed up a little late for the actual work but were done within 3 hours. I inspected work upon arriving home and found that although the sides had been caulked, there were several 1/4 gaps along the outside and inside of the door frame running approx 1...
