working to build a huge barn on our new farm. After a bad departure with his previous employer he continued to do odd jobs for our family. However Patrick has drug problems, is very undependable. We caught him once while redoing the inside of a double wide on our property, he had been charging us for weeks for extra employees that never even existed. He would use our Lowe's card and always buy extra supplies which we never seemed to see. They always went home with him. His own employee's felt so guilty they were telling us these things. He can do most anything but he will often have to come back and redo it again in a about six months because it wasn't done the correct way to begin with. Patrick is a the type of guy you can't help but like but he is all over the place; he will have ten different projects going all at the same time and none of them seem to ever get done. I like the guy but I just wanted to share with you all our experience with him.

It has been a stressful time for the people Mr. Brown has been working with - expecially me. No question or need is too small to ask him for help with (he even helped my put up my kitchen curtain rods on sunday!) I am 54, live alone and have no male relative on which to depend. Mr. Brown's prices do not vary far from his estimates. I would double-check his prices against that of other contractors and obtain estimates. Mr. Brown shops prices and compares. We have actually witnessed him negotiating prices with suppliers. He is always concerned with price.
He cleans up as he works and demands that his subcontractors do the same.
Currently he is building from the ground up the equine rehabilitation facility across from me. It is a huge commercial building.
I would recommend Mr. Brown for small and large jobs."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/al/ohatchee/anthony-brown-construction-reviews-6467314.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Remodeling Associates Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"AL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Anne R."},"reviewBody":"For years, my husband and I had planned to expand the length of our house by adding a two-car garage with a sun room above the garage in order to have a spot to enjoy a lake view. We delayed the project for years, because it was incredibly hard to find a builder / contractor who felt comfortable with all aspects of the addition. My husband had penciled out his ideas for a design and then had an architect-friend review his plans and advise us on anything else he might recommend that we might need to include in the project. When we met Jonathan (Jon) Waldrop of Remodeling Associates Inc., he listened to our ideas, reviewed our sketches and plans, and came out promptly to our house to discuss details of the plans and take measurements. Jon was very professional and communicated well with us. We learned that he was a Master Carpenter who had several major remodeling projects in the Mountain Brook area near Birmingham, AL. Jon had been in the construction and remodeling business for many years, and had been building homes since he was 14 years old! He had several associates to contact for specialized aspects of projects. He had an excellent sense of what was needed for the entire remodeling job we needed. Jon was also very flexible about allowing us to complete certain aspects of the projects ourselves, such as installing insulation and dry wall. My husband also planned to finish the interior of the cathedral ceiling ourselves, which saved us a lot of money on the sun room project. Within a few days, Jon had drafted a detailed estimate which was very fair. His communication skills with us were excellent. Within another week or two, he had all materials delivered to our home in time for each phase of the work. Jon arrived early each morning with his crew; they worked tirelessly each day with Jon's direct guidance. As each phase of the work was finished, we paid the balance on the specific project phase.
The work was excellent and was exactly what we had planned. Neighbors volunteered frequent compliments about the quality and progress of the work, which were excellent and rapid, respectively. Now Jon Waldrop is the first person we consult about any remodeling idea that we have. He has the best knowledge, expertise, communication skills, experience, and follow-up skills of any other potential builder we have met."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/al/birmingham/remodeling-associates-inc-reviews-312131.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"SIMS ELECTRIC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"AL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Greg P."},"reviewBody":"Everything about this project met or exceeded our expectations.

Carlos has done a wonderful job each time they have done work on our home. Their employees are always on time, professional and work hard to get the job done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Rivera home builders for roofing and new or remodeling construction!! I will book again!

Excellent! The work was done in a few hours over two days. One to build the form and pour the concrete. Came back the next day to remove the form. Looks great!

We were not impressed. We decided not to use this builder. Not a custom builder. They wouldn't make changes to house plans, not even for a price. Also beware everything is a "up grade".

FAQs for treehouse building projects in Calera, AL
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
