"we had multiple issues with the garage build we had done. 1. demo day they left behind 2 huge pieces of concrete pad then wanted us to split the cost because they went over on weight on the dumpster. 2. when they poured the concrete the next day a big piece of the corner broke off. 3. framing day they missed close to 60 misssed nails in the 2x4 to osb sheeting. and didn't nail 3 studs completely. 4. there was exposed man door and garage door framing exposing the wood to the elements, when asked why it was not sided or covered with flashing we was told it was "industry standard "to leave the wood exposed to the elements. 5. the garage door leaks and he refuses to look at it and states it's not under warranty. it took us close to 4 weeks to get them to come back and fix all their mistakes, all except the garage door because i did not see that until 2 months later, and he is refusing to contact he to take care of the situation. yet warranty is a year on the garage. overall i would not recommend this company to friends and family due to poor communication , inadequate site supervision of subcontractors, his subcontractors were vert sloppy and lacked attention to detail."

FAQs for building site preparation and clearing projects in Somerset, PA

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.
