"I purchased an old house on the lake that was in need of much repair. I asked Scott to come in and give me a quote on the hardwood floors which were very old and worn. He told me he could make them look new. I was a bit skeptical. By the time these floors were done it looks like a brand new house. The old flooring looks so worm and inviting. The new floors flow so nice with the look of the refinished hardwood floors. The new kitchen and bathroom floors are vinyl and very easy to clean. We love our new floors and how we get brag about them to all our neighbors"
"Outstanding! Fair price; I shopped around. Clean, dust-free system really works. Marty and his crew removed a wall-to-wall carpet, disposed of it, then sanded and coated the floors, installed a shoe moulding, and even sanded my well-used cherry wood kitchen table top. All done within 3 consecutive mornings. Marty offered tips & pointers which made a disruptive process go very smoothly. Highly recommended."
"Josh did a great job installing luxury vinyl tile throughout our kitchen bathroom and hallway. He was a perfectionist. Taking whatever time was necessary to make each joint just right. Of course, he had all of the necessary saws, tools and special equipment needed to do an exceptionable job. Josh was knowledgeable about installing floors and came with previous experience. I highly recommend Josh and look forward to hiring him again, myself."
"When my husband and I moved into our home, we found out that carpet was covering hardwood flooring throughout the house. Vincent brought the hardwood back to life with sanding and refinishing on both the first and second floor. He was quick, efficient, and professional. We would highly recommend him to anyone needing their hardwood floors refinished."
"He does a good job. He is a people's person. He is a hard working man, He has put carpet in my house a few times and tile. He does a nice job all the time"
"The hardwood flooring repair and refinishing performed by Jason Leon was done for a reasonable price, and was completed on time - actually a couple of hours earlier than promised. We were quite pleased with the quality of the work done, and the level of professionalism exhibited. We were glad that we chose this contractor, and would reccomend him highly."
Several government-backed lending programs can help first-time home buyers purchase a home with little money down. FHA, USDA, and VA loans are options for qualifying borrowers, though many conventional mortgage lenders will lower down payment rates to as low as 3 percent.
When planning for land survey costs, you should consider the following elements as major contributors to the overall cost:
Size of your property in terms of acres or square feet
Complexity of the terrain in terms of hills, elevation changes, rocks, water, and other features
Type of survey you need (boundary survey, topographic survey, or a combination of survey types)
Distance traveled for the professional surveyor
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.
If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.
