"He was available by phone, and was flexible in scheduling meetings which is great. He was professional, and seemed quite knowledgable. In the end, I didn't use Nato's services because his quote was twice as much as the other contractor I was considering. Perhaps his prices may be more competitive in other services he offers. Either way, working with this company was a pleasant experience."

"Finding a plumber who is there to solve the issue and not try to redo your whole bathroom is hard to find. Everyone wants to cut and replace but New Era Plumbing took the time to diagnose and fix what was needed. Efficient. Cost effective. Has the skills, knowledge, and confidence to do it in one morning. I feel like lots of plumbers wanted to hedge on what they could deliver, especially since they are turning off your water. I’m very grateful to finally find a skilled professional."

"Miguel completely re-configured our plumbing under the house a few years ago and we have never had issues again. He diagnosed the issue accurately and was able to complete the job quickly and at the highest level of quality. His knowledge of virtually all mechanical and structural aspects of renovation/repair are second to none. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone and with highest confidence."

"It went well. The gave me an initial start date of the end of July but actually started the work 2 weeks early. Ron Harmer, the Design Consultant & Project Manager, was AMAZING to work with. I had several companies/people come out to provide and estimate and Ron was by far the best. He efficiently measured and used CAD software to create a floorpan of the project. Ron was always available when I call or at least called me right back. I had an existing privacy pergola they had to move to do the work. That is when we discovered that the wood was rotted. Ron worked with me to come up with a relatively cost effective solution and then they executed the solution effectively. I only spoke to Nai, the construction manager, a couple of times and he was responsive."

"I can't say enough good things about SmartBuilders! From the estimating process all the way through the project, they were fantastic to work with.
First, the estimating process was one of the most thorough I've ever seen. Trey spent a ton of time measuring and examining the house and then gave us a very thorough review of what he thought should be done. He was really pragmatic and honest about the cost vs. benefit of various options and actually recommended not running central heat into our upstairs addition because it could be more efficiently heated with an independent wall heater, saving us on both monthly costs and installation charges. I really appreciated this because they could have made quite a bit of money on that portion of the project if we had included central heat in there. Their quote was very accurate with the majority of changes coming from items that we added after the initial quote. They also did a walk through with the owner, construction manager, electrician and client consultant and myself to make sure we were all on the same page before the work started.
The work they did was fantastic! They were on a tight timeline right around the holidays and they really went above and beyond to get everything finished up. When they started doing the electrical, we learned that our house had been built with some seriously over-engineered bracing systems so getting wires through the walls involved way more drilling than originally planned. Not only did they power through it, they didn't charge us extra for the extra work required. They did a great job of communicating the project status and checking in on details.
They also went above and beyond in taking care of the house. They even refinished an area of the floor where the tape from the paper they had put down to protect the floors removed the finish (which was super old and starting to come up anyway) and cut replacement tiles to match original 1940's tile from my kitchen. The workers were all really great - incredibly knowledgeable (and willing to explain what they were doing), efficient, pleasant and really patient with my dog who was underfoot for part of the project. The work has been fabulous!! Our house is warm, quiet and all of the electrical is up to code and works way better than it did before (we actually have overhead lights and more than one outlet per room). They did a great job of thinking about how we would use the space and doing little things that really make a difference.
This is a team and a company that really takes pride in their work and in making clients happy and it shows. They went above and beyond in making sure everything was perfect and that we were happy. A specific example that sums up our experience with them is how they handled a small issue. On the day the rough electrical was due for inspection the city building inspector cancelled the appointment and, due to the Christmas holiday, couldn't reschedule for several days later. Since we were on a pretty aggressive timeline, those lost days meant work wouldn't be completed by our original move-in date. It was completely out of their control but they bent over backwards to make it work for us. They offered to work around movers and all of our stuff and even to put us up in a hotel at their expense so we didn't have to live with all of the chaos for those few days. We didn't end up taking them up on the offer because it was easier to just shift the move date but I really appreciated how much they were willing to do (especially since the delay was not their fault). Amazing service and work!
Although they have a specialization in energy efficient heating, they are general contractors who do a ton of other work. I had such a great experience that I'll be calling them for a kitchen remodel and some foundation work in the future. I seriously can't recommend them enough!!

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Newark, CA

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.
