I have been working for my grandfather who builds custom homes and I have just started my own LLC and trying to get things going. I have my Alabama Home Builders License. I can do anything from small jobs like decks or replacing doors/ windows to big jobs like remodeling houses or building them from the ground up.
"Back Story: We purchased a house a bit over a year ago wherein our inspector failed to note the rough condition of our crawlspace. After much research, I decided upon Phillip Madden's Exterior Waterproofing. The project itself was completed last August; I wanted to put the project through the rainy season of Alabama to get an idea of how well it went before I posted my review. As my rating shows above, I am absolutely happy with the outcome. Phillip and his team came in and swept my crawlspace by storm. By the end of the first day, my crawlspace already looked fantastic. That is a lot to say about a crawlspace... The full project finished earlier, and I seem to recall that his team put in 7-8 yards of gravel. In other words, these guys worked tirelessly and hard. Upon completion of the project, I installed a humidity recording device in the crawlspace to monitor the area. It was stayed at an average of 47% since installation. Prior to installation, there was moisture dripping off of the air ducts. Moreover, the air quality in our house has improved SUBSTANTIALLY. Fortuitously, we had a gravity drain already fitted. As it turns out, we will need to drop the drain and have a sump installed. You can count on the fact that I am about to call Phillip to do that work."
"When my husbands work schedule changed allowing him to complete the work, Al was flexible about the change. I called and spoke to Al and he was gracious and understanding. Al performed everything as discussed and kept me informed as we went along. While the work was not needed, his service is great! I kept his card and plan to call him with future jobs."
"I can't say enough great things about Jose and his crew. They were professional, thorough, respectful and the finished product is terrific. I highly recommend We Build It."
"We built our home 38 years ago, and have worked with many contractors, maintenance and professional companies through the years, and Rivera Home Builders is one of the best. They built a new deck, new retaining wall and stairs, new siding entire back of the house, replaced all rotten eaves, stabilized porch rails/spindles on the front, new doors/frames, caulked, installed a chain link fence, cut/cleaned up several big trees, installed new window shutters, light fixtures/flood lights, painted my house/trim/stairs, and more...and they did all of this in just 11 days. Plus, their rates are reasonable."
"This company is owned and run by "old school" professional people who do what they say they will do. Everyone from the office staff to the crew that did the work to the owner Greg McBride were wonderful to work with. I wish I had know about them 4 years ago and I would have used them for everything in and around my home. I trust them and will use them in the future."
Yes, new home construction will always require building permits, no matter where you live. In most cases, you’ll need a general construction permit, along with plumbing and electrical permits for the utility lines in your home. Depending on where you live, you’ll likely find that you also need permits for things like connection to a sewage system or installing exterior components, like decks, driveways, patios, and curb cutouts. Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.
Universal design is a design concept that states that products, spaces, and general environments are designed to be used by everyone, with an emphasis on accessibility for those with limited mobility or other special needs.
Builder-grade is one of two types of stock cabinets, whereas semi-custom designs allow homeowners some control over the color, finish, or hardware on their cabinets. Stock cabinets are sold in construction-grade and builder-grade designs. Construction-grade cabinets are usually made from inexpensive medium-density fiberboard, which is prone to moisture damage, whereas builder-grade models are a step up with higher-quality materials. Construction-grade designs are the most common type of cabinets in America.
Adequate storage, workspaces, and energy-efficient systems are key considerations.
An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design.
