"He is the worst and most dishonest contractor you could ever hire. When he came in to quote us the job he sounded very confident and sound he knew what he was doing. So we finally agreed on a price and a 2 weeks timeline for the job. He showed up only on the first few days, my husband and I gave him portion of the money with expectations of the job being done soon. days went by and he didn't showed up. We were calling and texting him everyday and no responses, once he would respond, was always a different excuses. On top of him not showing up anymore, we bought 27 boxes of tile for my laundry, when my husband and I weren't home, he showed up, took 5 boxes and went to the store and returned to get cash back to himself, which technically he was stealing from us. he was always calling back when he wanted money but no job done. I know my husband and I were stupid to give him the money without the job being even half way done.We hired him in the first week of January, with intentions to be done in 2 weeks. Today is March 29TH 2018 and this deadbeat contractor hasn't show up in 2 months... ignoring phone calls, text and any sort of communication that we tried to established with him. On top of stealing my materials for his own gain, everything that he has done is falling apart, tile floor is popping up for being laid down improperly with wrong material, the cabinets are all "crooked" for not being leveled right, he painted the walls the wrong color, all with promises of fixing it afterwards. I had plans to put my house in the market end of march, but as right now, my house is in pieces and this dead beat dishonest contractor hasn't showed up, so now its not only the house problem, he is affecting my ability to sell my house. PLEASE, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND NEVER EVER HIRE THIS GUY, His name is Jeffrey Owens Sr."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Nassau, NY

A professional team can clear an acre of land in as little as two to twelve hours, depending on your land's condition. You'll need to consider factors like vegetation density, terrain features, and obstacles such as trees, stumps, rocks, or existing structures can increase the time required. If your land is heavily wooded or has uneven terrain, expect the process to take longer and require more effort.

If you're looking to clear land for a pasture, expect to pay between $400 and $600 per acre for forestry mulching or $500 to $5,600 per acre for conventional land clearing. When choosing a method, consider:

  • Forestry Mulching: Leaves organic material in the soil, promoting new ground cover growth.

  • Conventional Clearing: You might lose valuable topsoil during this process.

A land-clearing project typically involves several key steps to prepare your property for construction or landscaping. First, assess your land and obtain any necessary permits from your local building department. Then, professionals use specialized equipment to remove trees, stumps, brush, and vegetation. After clearing, they haul away debris and may perform grading to level the land, ensuring it's ready for your intended use.

Preparing land to build a house typically costs between $1,000 and $4,000, depending on your land's size and condition. This includes clearing space for the foundation, which may involve removing trees, stumps, brush, and leveling or grading the site. Don't forget to budget for additional costs like permits, fees, and installing utility connections such as gas lines, water lines, and sewer mains.
