"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

".Professional and courteous. They arrived early Monday morning ready to work. They tore out the floor and were careful to throw the scraps away from my flowers outside. They wasted no time replacing the floor with heavy plywood. It really looks wonderful. Neat job, No waste, They cleaned up and swept before they left. I was very happy with the job they did and very surprised at how fast they got it finished. I would recommend Rent a Man for any job you may need done, "
"Mr. Alexander and his crew showed up on time. When the job need more than the estimate, I received a phone call. He gave me an estimate on the additional work. These guy work diligently all day and even put my wife’s garden ornaments back in place before leaving. I will hire them for any other job that arises."
Started off great, met with Fred Sr. 5 months before and talked about what I wanted done, gave him my vision of how I wanted it to look and gave him time to digest all that I wanted, and the budget I had to work with. Met with Fred Sr. again in Jan, firmed up what I wanted, we talked it great length about what I wanted done, and then did a walk thru of the home. Fred Sr. told me to ask for everything I could think of that I wanted done, and we developed a must have, want to have, if there is money left over would like to have list. Contract was signed, for work to start 1 Mar with a 8 week timeline, yep there is a lot to do. I was able to have the house open a week early and Fred Sr. jumped at the chance to start. Day one put a big smile on my face, kitchen and baths gutted, all flooring removed. Met Fred Jr and the rest of the crew. Fred Jr just as nice as Fred Sr, and the young boys very respectful and nice. Fred Sr has raised a great family. Each day I get an update and get the opportunity to add input. Love it. Will keep Angie's list updated with the progress.
Update: week 2
main bathroom has been framed and dry walled, new master bathroom created, framed and dry walled. Fred Sr and Fred Jr have been great. Some dead space was discovered on the new bathroom and Fred Jr made a linen/towel nook. The house is small and they are using every inch of space possible. They are masters of redesign, I was able to gain a master bathroom without losing living space in the master bedroom. There work is very efficient, I and never have seen the young boys without a project to do, no one sits around, and most of all they understand budget, only upgrades are ones I ask for, and they help to keep me on budget unlike other contractors that want to help you spend more. Again Very Happy
Update: week 4
most all of the painting has been done, just some small areas left. Fred's people are great, the trim work fantastic, the lines perfectly straight. I am very critical of paint work, and able to spot small defect, but this was not the case, I looked everywhere and could not see even a 2mm difference in his lines. The hold up this week is the cabinets I am having built, this is not Fred's fault but mine as I wanted custom cabinets. Very excited to get the cabinets and countertops in. Very very happy
late in the update: work is mostly complete just some small things I want added.Cabinets and countertops installed, they are beautiful. small problem with one of the cabinet doors, Fred went back to the maker of the cabinets and made him make me a new one. Moved in, love my home.
Already hired Fred to do some outside work on the house too.
"They actually had to do the roof twice. It wasn't their fault. They did it in November and then they redid in May because it turns out that the asphalt tiling didn't color properly. They actually filed a claim with the manufacturer and then redid it using different and a probably better product. There was a hiccup there. We were pretty happy with the price and their willingness to make it right. It was a slow process but it wasn't their fault. The tile company was fine too but just slow. They had their warranty process. It looks good and we were happy. It was definitely worth the extra effort. We happy with the looks. It makes the house not quite as hot in the attic. It did take a little while to get started once I made the initial call. Once he did get started he was good. He would get back to me. They didn't give me any hassle and no run around. They worked quickly and well. They cleaned up. It was a competitive price. He was also willing to bid for it."
"Very professional, on point with communication. Truthful and honest at all times. Top notch business practices. We will be using Jones Construction for all of our home needs."
One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

Custom homes can take an average of 18 months to build, mainly due to the lengthy design process, and most projects take somewhere between 12 and 24 months. When you work with the right custom home builders near you, they can help you map the road ahead and understand what can speed up or delay the timeline. Choosing locally available materials, for example, can speed things up without losing that customized touch.
It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.
