Joe is very personable and a great driver. We will use him every time we are flying out of town for now on. It is certainly cheaper and safer than leaving our car at the airport.

The first problem is that we did not have a realtor with us, we went on our own, because of this they were not going to pay anything towards closing cost. Zero! Untill our Loan Officer and my sister who is a Loan Processor said that was wrong. They fought it for me and finally got the builder to put down some money towards closing cost. Due to dispute in price they were told on buying the land they were going to build our house on, construction was delayed untill June 2010. At first everyone seemed very nice. We were excited about our new home untill we started seeing the end results.The kitchen, bathroom cabinets that were built were to be stained a dark cherry wood instead they were spray painted a dark brown to look like dark cherry wood. Our brand new garage had a crack in the foundation going from across the room, most of the outlet switches for lights and electrical outlits were crooked, the window sill's in the front living room and dinning room were cracking in the middle, the back patio was not leveled correctly so when it rained water would pull up on one side of the patio. We could have delt with everything but when we saw the crack in the foundation in the garage that was the last straw. We could not see ourselves buying a new house that already had a crack in the foundation. So we called Villaneva Construction to let them know. We took them to small claims court to get our $2000.00 earnest money back due to the house was not completed by the contract date which was July 31, 2010. The house was completed the middle of August. The most disturbing thing is that they did a complete 180. They told lies in letters to us stating we had delayed the project. They claimed they had tried to contact us several times and could never get a hold of us, that we dalayed because we took awhile giving them the tile info ( which I have email's proving we sent them all the tile info months before they decided to finally go get it and then it was sold out), light fixtues, final inspection, and permanent light service. The crazy thing is that while building the house they wanted us to call the electric company put the light service on in our name so they can get the inspection. At first I aggreed because I wasn't sure how that was handled but that day after thinking about it I called them the next day to tell them I did not feel comfortable putting the electricity in my name when we didn't even own the house yet. The house was still being built which means I would have to pay for all that electricity and didn't even own the house. They did have to redo the roof due to me because when I saw the frame of the roof it was not how I wanted it. Supposedly the floor plan I had picked was not the roof I wanted. The very next day it was fixed. Not sure how one day delayed months of delays. We had our court date with every single email I had saved proving there weren't any dalays on our part and pictures of the house. Our case was due to the contract it states if the house is not completed by contract date (July 31)Seller would be in default and buyer receive earnest money. The judge did not see it that way. He ruled in their favor without seeing any pictures or emails. I thought our contract would have seeled the deal but it didnt happen that way. It is too late for us but if this can help any one else I would be happy! The worst thing a company can do is lie, I lost all respect for that company because of their lies. I have saved all my email's and pictures to prove them in their lies. Most important always have a realtor. Good Luck!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/mcallen/villanueva-construction-llc-reviews-6179969.htm"},"position":5}]}

Excellent overall, they even showed up early! I waited about 3 months from when the work was actually done before posting this review, I wanted to see if the treatment took care of the termites (it did) and if there were any problems that might show up afterwards (there weren't). Amanda took...

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:
Planning for construction projects, like building a fence
Locating utilities, such as plumbing fixtures
Settling property line disputes
Creating subdivisions
Meeting mortgage requirements
Selling your property
Land surveying costs about $530 for the average homeowner. However, your total cost could range anywhere from $200 to $1,000 or more. Factors like the size of your property play a significant role in what you pay, but other things like the survey type and the time of year can also impact the final cost.
For example, if you’re looking for a simple boundary survey, you can expect to pay between $100 and $600. However, if you want a more in-depth survey that depicts the elevations of your hills and trees, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for a topographic survey.
A few different types of land surveys can help determine certain features and boundaries of your property. These include:
Boundary surveys describe the actual borders of a property. These are generally required when trying to get construction permits issued.
Location surveys provide much of the same information as a boundary survey but also include in-depth information about any improvements made to your property.
Mortgage location surveys are usually required by lenders and title companies before financing or offering an insurance policy.
Site-planning surveys are done before applying for building permits and can be issued before any major home improvements.
Topographic surveys provide a formal map of land elevations. It can also describe the location and size of natural features and any land improvements.
Land survey reports provide a lot of helpful information about your property and land. The exact information provided depends on the type of survey you have done, but common information that they can provide includes:
Location of utility fixtures
Clear boundaries and dimensions of your property
General topography
Land elevation information
Confirmation of easements or encroachments
Land surveys don’t technically expire. They do serve as a point of reference and a snapshot of your property, though, so as soon as you make changes to your property (and even if your neighbor makes certain changes to theirs), your existing land survey becomes inaccurate, and a new one must be done. Even if you don’t make any changes to your property, many states only guarantee the accuracy of a land survey for five to ten years.
