"If looking for wood flooring done, Franks Flooring was Super! Very professional, when we called, Frank came out within thirty minutes, measured room, gave us a quote answered any questions we had. Frank walked us through exactly what to expect from the time carpet was pulled up to wood floor being ordered, delivered and the floor installed. Frank also made sure we were pleased with every aspect of the job. All this being said we gave him a A+ rating! Thank you Frank and Crew!"
"I loved the job they did. They had to undo Louis brothers destroyed my floors and they had redo a botched job. I would definitely recommend Right Step flooring. Looking forward for them to my next job"
"Trent and his crew were all very professional and did an amazing job. Our addition had been started by another contractor several years ago but never completed. Trent made sure everything was properly done and if it wasn't his crews fixed what needed to be fixed until it was done right. After correcting the things that needed fixing they laid all the flooring, tiled the shower, finished the plumbing, HVAC, and wiring, put in the fixtures, painted, built a deck and enlarged our driveway , put in new gutters and gutter guards and some other stuff. The work is too notch and we wholeheartedly recommend them. Their customer service was also great. We have already hired them to do some painting, carpeting and repair work in the main house part of it to start in the fall and the rest early next year per our time frame on when we want the work done. Definitely a great company to work with and highly recommend."
"By the time we realized our cat was urinating on the dining room oriental rug, he had been doing it for so long, that the hardwood floor underneath was ruined. We just knew there was no hope for the oriental rug. We were sick as it coordinated with the living rug. Don cleaned the living room rug in the house and took the dining rug to his plant. He did many cleanings on it and was actually able to save it. The dyes (it had burgundy and blues in it) did not bleed and the smell was gone. We were elated with the results and are forever thankful to Don for all his patience in restoring our rug. He has done a great job on all services provided and would highly recommend On the Spot. "
"We are renovating - so we had other flooring contractors before we found Service Magic. Jean Flooring was exceptional and more reasonable on price than others. Everyone that comes in loves my floor - he was extraordinary! I would highly recommend him to others."
"It went very well. They are very experienced and knowledgeable. I love my floors and so happy that they explained to me that I could sand and stain the two different hardwood areas and stain it all to match!!"
"Fred and his crew did a magnificent job installing hardwood downstairs and blending it into existing 18 year old flooring. They also installed hardwood on entire 2nd floor. Also they stained all shue molding to match the floor. We cannot express enough how great the flooring looks also out of 5 estimates they were $1200 lower than the 2nd lowest price. Great price, great job and great people!!!"
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.
You should always calculate real estate development costs on a case-by-case basis, so there’s no specific formula to estimate your total. You should speak with a local construction manager to see what you’ll need to do in terms of clearing and leveling the land, connecting utilities, and pulling permits for construction. A professional will be able to get you an accurate estimate for land development.
You will find a collection of licensed land surveyors in your area. Your real estate agent or construction manager may also be able to recommend a trusted professional. When speaking with prospective pros in your area, ask the land surveyor if they are licensed in the state, have liability insurance, and can quote you a fee before starting.
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.
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
