We are Super Brothers Plumbing Heating & Air Contractor. Specialized in Plumbing and HVAC services for residential and commercial properties. We cooperate directly with companies such as SMUD, Home Depot, PG&E, Aquasana, Rheem, Ferguson, Bradford White, Trane, and Roseville Electric. Our partnership with these organizations gives our customers the opportunity to receive instant Rebates, and contractor discounts for any plumbing, and HVAC services. This month we have a big promotion for a Gas Water Heater Replacement, HVAC System Replacement, Whole House Filtration System Installation, and Heat Pump Water Heater Installation. Regular gas water heater basic replacement - Regular cost: $2000 - Discounted Cost: $1750 A Heat Pump Water Heater Basic Installation - Regular Cost: $2100 out of pocket - Discounted Cost: $1750 out of pocket Filtration System Basic Installation Including the Whole System - Regular Price: $3500 - Discounted Price: $2800 HVAC System requires scheduling a free on-site estimate.

"Scheduling was a nightmare. No communication between the front office and their service technicians. They screwed up the scheduling on their end, so I had to take another day off. Also, when they finally did show up, they were rude. Usually, people with a language barrier are polite people, but these people treated me snootily. I can look past that but they left a mess everywhere. Rubber gloves, screws and paper were left in their work station when they left. When I went up into the attic to check the furnace connection, I found more trash and work debris. But what's worse, is they didn't move my insulation back after they were done working in the attic. Finally, when I cut them a check on the agreed contact, they told me it was the correct amount. Only later, their HR was calling me for more money. They really have been a terrible experience."

Since you’ve called us first for so long, we simply changed our name to Rapid First Plumbing. Same company, same team, different name, and we look forward to providing you with the same great service.

"Office was very responsive. On the day of the appointment the plumber checked to see if he could come early... which was great! He determined what what kind of valves were needed and quickly purchased parts. He completed the work efficiently and was very helpful. Great results. Would hire again."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Sacramento, 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.
