"I had an increasing water problem in my basement when it rained. Kevin came to look at the situation very promptly and assessed the problem . He was very good about making sure I understood my options and costs up front. He walked me through every step and reviewed the work once completed. I am very happy with the professionalism and excellent work of Kevin and his workers. I am happy to recommend this service. Kevin went above and beyond when they had thrown out a rock-yup, a rock-that was my mother's - he went and retrieved it! Amazing sensitivity."
"We wanted new flooring installed before our move-in date while our condo was empty. We bought luxury vinyl plank flooring from Thornton Flooring in Sioux Falls. Raymond Shimel was to be our installer. Raymond immediately impressed us at our first meeting. He confidently told us exactly what the job of laying over 1,400 square feet would entail, saying he could have the installation done before our move-in date of 12/27/2022. He answered all of our questions in a friendly manner which put both of us at ease. Raymond and his helper not only took away the old carpet and flooring, but they installed the new flooring just like he said they would. They completed the work, cleaned up the whole condo, and had all equipment removed three days before our moving day. When I opened the door, what I saw was impressive. The entire floor of our condo was done with precision in every room and with the plank lined up and precisely squared. Thank you Raymond for your expert-class knowledge and a job well done! Folks, ask for Raymond Shimel to be your installer. You'll be glad you did. Matt and Cindy"

You can’t build on undeveloped land without preparing it for construction, which involves running utilities to the site or accounting for private utilities like wells and septic systems and grading and compacting the soil for safe construction. Once you prepare the land, you can build on it as long as the project abides by local zoning regulations.
Soil testers and licensed excavators are often the professionals you hire if you need a perc test. In some cases, structural engineers will also be able to conduct the test for you. In many municipalities, you’ll need your professional on-site to dig and fill the holes with water, as well as a representative from your local building department or health department. That representative is the individual who will determine whether your test passes or fails.
It is almost always necessary to hire a land surveyor near you 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—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.
A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.
Land survey reports have a boatload of information relevant to several scenarios. Here are the types of information contained with a survey, though it depends on your chosen type of land survey. Exact boundaries and dimensions of a given property General topography, including both natural and artificial landmarks Location of utility fixtures, like water mains Confirmation of any easements or encroachments on a piece of property Assessment of land elevation to buy flood insurance Updated information to add to a pre-existing property map
