Here at Home Sweet Home Painting & Remodeling, I pride myself on my professionalism, as well as my ability to complete every job to the homeowner's total satisfaction. I never leave a job unfinished, or a homeowner not 100% satisfied with my level of service - Call today!

"I recently moved from the northeast area to central Florida. And doing so was a big effort for us. We bought a wonderful older home but in order to make it "ours", we wanted to do a number of internal and external renovations, and quickly. From the moment I first met Jermaine I knew he was the right person for us. Jermaine's professionalism, construction knowledge, patience, planning and organizational skills, and friendly caring personality won me over. Throughout the entire 5 months long daily renovation Jermaine and his crew stayed on target and absorbed numerous add-ons without hesitation or concern. The quality was always good and pricing was always fair and reasonable. Time and time again Jermaine and his team went above and beyond what anyone would expect. I still cannot believe the amount of renovations that were done in only 5 months. It is truly amazing! The final results gave us the beautiful, comfortable home we were seeking here in FL! THANK YOU Jermaine!! Al B."

"Heriberto and his team were amazing! He is honest, good with communication, reliable, and hard working. Heriberto does not just supervise, but works all day with his crew, only leaving the site to pick up materials. This is rare for any company these days. He offered several solutions to our difficult drainage problems, varying in price. We chose to have him dig 3 feet deep into our rock beds outside our pool enclosure, lowering everything as well as making room for rainwater to drain through our pipes to the front gutters. It was a big and difficult job. Discovering we had a couple feet of clay on our property, the crew had to also cut through a tangle of tree roots. To avoid cables and pipes, they had to work manually in one area. They didn't give up... worked from morning until evening, and even some weekend hours. As problems arose, they would offer solutions. They fixed an old sprinkler pipe that shattered, replaced sod for grassy areas that were damaged despite them being careful, and shopped around for the best prices on materials to save us money. To keep moisture away from our house, we also had them add another rock bed to one side of our house without one. I couldn't be happier with these guys. The job was completed in under two weeks and was under 10k. It was a lot of money to spend, but re-grading our yard would have been way higher. We haven't had a huge storm since the work was done to test the maximum capacity yet, but he told us to call him if there are any issues. I believe him. These were the best guys I have hired in years. I highly recommend them."

We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction, from the start to the completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"Referred by Angi to Outlaw land management, he originally quoted $1,500 but said he machine broke and would have to rent one. If I wanted the job done I would have to pay extra to get it done, the price raised to $2,019.60. He came one day and his machine broke. I never saw him after that and only partial of the job was not done. Contacted Outlaw multiple times over a span of a month with no answer. I finally get an answer and request he finish the job. He sends another person but they did not clear all areas that was contracted for (2nd visit only cleared a small area, did not finish the job). After contacting Outlaw again multiple times with no answer for weeks, I finally got a hold of him, I requested a refund but only received a partial refund of $500. This seemed as though this is all I would get and accepted. However, I hired another company and they are telling me its going to cost more to clean up Outlaw Land Management's mess because they did everything wrong. Due to this I am wanting a full refund of the amount (after the $500 partial refund) due to their error and costing me more money to fix their mistakes!"

Building site preparation and clearings FAQs

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.
