"It took several emails and three trips for all the work we had verbally agreed to, to get done. I should not have o be so persistent, however work was complete and results look great. I recommend written contracts for anyone considering this service company."

"I hired BTJ Demo last year during my kitchen remodel. In regards to that job the results were outstanding. They finished 2 days earlier than projected and most importantly addressed EVERY minor concern we mentioned prior to the job. This review is specifically for the 2 recent snow storms that rocked my area. The storm was so bad that snow removal companies were not able to clean my property within a reasonable timeframe or the astronomical cost. I reached out to BTJ for recommendations in a last ditch effort. This is the best part....they informed me that I could use them for snow removal AND the dude gave me 5 recommended snow removal companies! I valued that kind of integrity and used them. They did a FANTASTIC job cleaning up the snow! Throughout both snow storms they came through 3 times to plow, shovel and salt my driveway! I was not expecting that level of service. I highly recommend this company...they definitely went above and beyond."

"The Finest Craftman did an amazing job with our basement renovation. We had new windows installed, a fireplace retiled, new doors installed, painting done & electrical ventilation units installed. They assisted with permits and inspections. They were detail-oriented and always communicated with us regarding progress and the next steps in the project. They were always friendly, courteous and reliable. We will definitely use them for future projects."

"Eddy and his team trimmed seven pine trees for us, and the result was
outstanding. Excellent service! They were prompt, friendly, and very professional.
Very fair price, great work, cleaned up everything
(couldn't tell they had even been here, except for the outcome). Eddy
really knows his trees, and we recommend Double Tree with our
highest recommendation!"

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

Depending on the type of land survey, the report will mark the boundaries of your property, the topographical changes of the landscape, as well as major natural and added structures to the plot. A more detailed survey, like an as-built survey, will note the measurements of the structures and landscape following major construction. A topographic survey will also help your contractor determine the cost of land development projects.

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.

Surveys completed by licensed surveyors can be recorded with a local surveying records office, and in most cases, they will be. Filing survey reports categorize them as legal documents, and they can be used whenever legal documentation of your property’s boundaries is needed. While you’re not required to file survey documents, it’s a good idea to do so. 

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:

  • Browse land surveyor service website

  • Check credentials

  • Read customer reviews

  • Find their contact information

  • Call or email to inquire about more information

  • Ask how far they travel, if you’re some distance away

  • Find out how they charge for their services

  • Ask about schedule and turnaround times

  • Repeat these steps for one to two other services and compare pricing
