"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?"
If you or your mortgage lender think your land survey needs to be more accurate, double-check the survey report and get at least a second opinion from the original surveyor and an inspector, if possible. Although it’s unlikely, even reputable surveying companies can make mistakes. An inaccurate survey can cause problems down the road in the case of any property line disputes, so it’s best to resolve any inaccuracies as quickly as possible.
Surveys completed by licensed surveyors can be recorded with a local surveying records office, and in most cases, they will be. Filing survey reports categorize them as legal documents, and they can be used whenever legal documentation of your property’s boundaries is needed. While you’re not required to file survey documents, it’s a good idea to do so.
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.
When planning for land survey costs, you should consider the following elements as major contributors to the overall cost:
Size of your property in terms of acres or square feet
Complexity of the terrain in terms of hills, elevation changes, rocks, water, and other features
Type of survey you need (boundary survey, topographic survey, or a combination of survey types)
Distance traveled for the professional surveyor
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.
