"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!"
"It went very well it was excellent, they took their time and they were detail oriented. They made sure me and my wife checked their work before they left and if we noticed anything we could call them and they would come back out. Their prices were very reasonable! I would highly recommend them to others."
"It went great. The tech (Dave - a very friendly & knowledgeable fellow) did a fantastic job. Also, even before Dave arrived, the representative on the phone gave me some extremely useful advice. They really are Heroes!!"
"Excellent - Carlos is responsive, experienced, and provides great customer service. He was also flexible when needed. Would be happy to hire again and have done so. My kitchen is beautiful!"
"February 27, 2022 Caleb and Brad the owners of Real Handy did phenomenal work upgrading my bathroom! I must also mention Mathew who assisted with the tear out. I registered with Angi Feb. 6th because my bath floor needed replacing due to a past commode leak. I received a text from Caleb the following day. He was available to come to my house that evening and arrived on time. Caleb assessed my bath floor issue, explained what was needed to repair it, provided an approximate cost, and gave a time limit to complete the work. I was pleased to learn it would not be as costly as I thought, and it would only take two days. Before Caleb left, I felt confident in hiring Real Handy. I received my written contract Feb 15th, work started Feb. 17th, work was completed Feb 21st. It took approximately 10 hours in total. The first day they tore out the floor and sink, replaced floor boards, the sub floor, and laid new waterproof vinyl. They returned on Feb 21st, installed the new commode, sink, vanity, light fixture, mirror, the threshold at the door, and laid vinyl at my front and back doors. I also had them put in a new stove hood and hang an art piece. There were leftover vinyl planks, and Brad suggested that I use it at my front and back door entrance areas. I liked his idea, so we agreed on the additional minimal cost to add it. I am extremely pleased with my new bathroom and entrance ways. The quality of work, time management, attention to detail, and professionalism goes above and beyond. I highly recommend hiring Real Handy to do any work you need to have done. They are true “master craftsmen”!! I have already decided to hire them for additional projects in the near future. My neighbors made a point to tell me how friendly they are when they saw them outside. They are indeed. Thank you Brad, Caleb, & Mathew. You guys are a God send. I’m honored to have met you! God Bless, and much success on your business! Jackie Polk?"
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.
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 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.
A boundary survey measures the boundary lines of the property, only the length of each property line and their locations. A land survey includes a more in-depth measurement of the property, including the heights and depths of the terrain measured by a topographic survey. A boundary survey is typically the most cost-effective method for marking and measuring property lines.
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.
