"There are not enough good things I can say about this firm. I hired them to clean out a rental house and they were nothing short ofincredible. They were totally professional, did a perfect job, and left a clean and tidy house. I will recommend them to family and friends, I would hire them again in a heartbeat. They simply are the best company I have worked with in recent years. Their communication was excellent and the cost of the work was competitive and completely in line with other companies offering the same services. You will not get a better company or people to work with. This firm sets a very high bar in terms of work ethic, cost savings, customer service and professionalism."

"When choosing a general contractor, we were looking for someone to complete multiple jobs in a timely manner, with a solid work history and good reviews. Eric's Quality Building checked all our boxes. Eric provided a fair quote for both a concrete patio extension and a patio cover. Both of our projects were completed in a fast and efficient manner, with the quality of work and customer service provided being stellar. Eric is a younger guy, but he and his crew do a great job. I will use Eric for future projects, and I suggest you hire him for your next project big or small."

"We recently had James come out to help clear an absolute mountain of overgrown blackberries in our yard, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, he was so kind, approachable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. His pricing was incredibly fair and transparent, and he didn't just meet our expectations—he went completely above and beyond with the quality of his work, turning a massive headache of a project into a clean, manageable space. We feel so lucky to have found him. We will definitely be reaching back out to him for future projects and are already recommending him to all our friends and family. If you need excavation or yard work done, James is your guy!!"

"The categories listed do not really list what was done for us. They redid our horrible gravel road, which is now better than ever. They replaced our ice storm damaged field fence. Which they had to remove a lot of tree debris and brush to do. They completed these jobs in only a couple of days time. Very friendly and informative. I would hire them again and highly recommend them."

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

Permit requirements to clear land vary by municipality, so whether or not you need permits depends on where you live and what you’re removing from the land. Some building departments will require permits for any underground work or excavation, meaning grinding down tree stumps on your property would require permits. Others mandate individual permits for each tree you remove. You can contact your local building department or a land-clearing specialist near you to see if permits are necessary for your job.

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.

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.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. 

Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.
