Aerial has very competitive rates and turnaround times on services including mortgage/title surveys for home transactions, ALTA surveys, property corner stakeouts, elevation certificates and more.
"The experience with Ariel Land surveying was terrible. They did not come to aurvey my property last Sunday as stated. I spent all last week asking which day and time will thwy arrive on the property so I can give access. The response I kept getting until last Friday at 5:00 pm is the technician is still working on the schedule. I'm not sure when he's coming. He may come this weekend, or he may not. I get a call Minday morning stating the technician put in the system that he surveyed the property. I said this is not rue because we have cameras, and i had been there all day on Saturday. The technician and the person who picked up the phone became very rude and disrespectful. The technician yelled at me. He said he did me a favor and came on a Sunday and I am being ungrateful. I rechecked the camera for Saturday and Sunday, I did not see any technician. Monday morning when I kept calling to see the technician, I was told that he was not in yet. About an hour later after he ywlled at me, the technician sent me random pictures of my pool, the front of my house, and the alley wY to the back yard. When bringing my son to daycare, remember seeing a man wearing a neon vest with a construction hat on, but he was infront of the neighbor's property, not mine. Also he was there foe just five minutes. I lf that was the technician, I do not believe that was proper and surveying . The service was terrible, they were very unprofessional. I would never recommend Aerial land surveying to anyone."

High end architect specializing in making a house feel like home! I make people’s dream homes a reality. There is nothing more satisfying to me then improving the quality of life for my clients and giving them a house that they are able to make into their homes. I have been a licensed architect since 2015 and am currently registered in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Maine and Massachusetts. With my NCARB certificate I am able, if necessary, to obtain reciprocal licensure throughout the country in a short time period. I am inspired by our local built environment, humble materials, classical building forms and traditional building details. I have a strong interest in the reinterpretation of classical building forms, blended with contemporary open floor plans. I have a stronger interest in helping to guide my clients to ways of improving the quality of their lives through adapting the built environment to meet their needs.

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Troy, NY
The timeframe for installing an LVL beam depends on your project's complexity and scope. Factors affecting the timeline include whether walls need removal, the beam's size, and whether electrical or plumbing modifications are necessary. Your contractor should provide a specific timeline estimate based on your home's unique circumstances and the specific requirements of your installation.
Financing options are available for structural improvements like LVL beam installations. Many homeowners use home equity loans or lines of credit, often offering favorable interest rates for home improvement projects. Some contractors partner with financing companies to provide payment plans directly. When gathering quotes, ask potential contractors about financing partnerships they maintain or recommendations for lenders experienced with home renovation projects.
LVL beams become necessary when you need to span greater distances without support columns or when supporting substantial loads. Traditional lumber can't span more than eight to 12 feet without support, while LVL beams can extend up to 30 feet. LVL provides the necessary strength to create truly open concept spaces or support upper floors without columns. Consulting with a structural engineer helps determine the appropriate beam type for your specific requirements.
Beyond the core installation, the budget for build-back costs totals $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of affected finishes. If foundation reinforcement becomes necessary, allocate $1,000 to $3,000 per pier. Permit fees ranging from $100 to $500 should also be anticipated. For installations affecting utilities, factor in electrician rates of $50 to $130 per hour and plumber rates of $45 to $200 per hour if rerouting is required.
