What are the different types of land surveys?

• <div><p>A few different types of land surveys can help determine certain features and boundaries of your property. These include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Boundary surveys </b>describe the actual borders of a property. These are generally required when trying to get construction permits issued. </p></li><li><p><b>Location surveys</b> provide much of the same information as a boundary survey but also include in-depth information about any improvements made to your property. </p></li><li><p><b>Mortgage location surveys</b> are usually required by lenders and title companies before financing or offering an insurance policy. </p></li><li><p><b>Site-planning surveys</b> are done before applying for building permits and can be issued before any major home improvements. </p></li><li><p><b>Topographic surveys</b> provide a formal map of land elevations.

Why should I have my land surveyed?

• <div><p>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:</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>

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>

The painting part seems to be quite good, and it only took 2 days. The crew consisted of 5 men. They put down drop cloths and picked up all of those scrapings when they were finished. They vacuumed up the particles that didn't land on the dropcloth.
