"I have worked with over 20 different contractors in the last year or so.  Ron by far is the best we've seen!  His attention to detail and professionalism is first class.  He and his crew came right in and began work immediately; he's strictly business and can do a little bit of everything; and he does it all well; he's a real perfectionist at his skills and we loved that!  He's reliable, dependable, and reasonably priced for the services he provides.  He came behind other contractors who ripped us off and corrected all their sloppy work.  We have finally found someone who is honest, detailed, and provides OUTSTANDING QUALITY WORK.  
He just finished another job for us today. He repaired several areas in my drywall and painted the entire area flawlessly! He went above and beyond on this job; he constantly checked with us to make sure everything was what we wanted; made recommendations, and did little extras we wasn't even expecting.  He cleaned up VERY WELL; actually, it was cleaner when he left than when he arrived.  Lol!
Ron is a true professional who has one of the best work ethics I have ever seen.  He and his crew is the go-to folks for any renovations, projects, fix its, etc. for us for now on.  They were also very friendly and accommodating.  It took us over a year to find a professional like this.    Thanks Ron!  
I HIGHLY recommend him to all our friends and any new customers looking for solid contractor who aimed to please his customers and actually stands behind his work.  We are from Missouri, "THE SHOW ME STATE" and that's exactly what they did and some....We are VERY PLEASED!!!!!!

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.
