"We found McCormick home builders through Angie’s list. They were not one of our original contacts, but they contacted us and came out to give us a quote.
Matteo was extremely helpful, informative, honest, and gave us reasonable realistic prices, and did not try to inflate the prices or pressure us in anyway. We felt very comfortable with him immediately. We felt like he was a member of the family that we could just talk to and ask questions he was very personable. He gave us his contact number in case we had other questions and he was always available when we needed him for any type of questions or concerns. Mateo‘s team did a beautiful job. They were fast. They were efficient. They cleaned up beautifully. They did a wonderful job. They were very considerate of our time our needs and our neighbors. They were an absolute pleasure to work with.
I would highly recommend Matteo from McCormick home builders for any home building projects, and we will be calling him again in the future!"

"I hired Landmark construction & energy crew for a 650 sq/ft. of living room addition. Before we hired them, we already had all the necessary plans on hand including all the secured building permits with the city. When it comes to workmanship and speed, I must admit that landmark construction was very fast while investing extra attention to perfection. All the teams of workers worked fast even when it came to fixes and adjustments. They replaced the wood floor with new engineered wood flooring, repainted the entire ceiling and one living room wall and blended new stucco on the exterior wall. The new addition required new foundation, framing, and window installation. We are thoroughly content with all the work that was completed by landmark construction & energy crew. 1) they made sure to cover everything all around the working area in order to prevent damages and extra work due to paint spots and dust from all the sanding. 2) They came to work on a daily basis and few times they skipped work BUT they made sure to confirm that 2 days ahead. This was very responsible from them to do. 3) Charlie the Project Manager was available and reached all the time. When he couldn’t talk or answered, he called within the hour. In regards to pricing… the price that we got from Landmark construction & energy crew was in the middle range. Charlie came over to the house several times to discuss about the details and the process of the project, and after that he start working on the estimate."

From setting up and taking down outside holiday decorations that make our home shine every season to installing handicap railing in our garage with precision and care, Kevin consistently goes above and beyond. No job is too small—whether it's repairs or upgrades around the house, he handles each task with professionalism and a keen eye for detail. Kevin is reliable, prompt, and always pleasant to work with. His dedication and expertise make him the best handyman we've ever hired, and we couldn’t be happier with the quality of his work. Highly recommend him for anyone needing a trustworthy, skilled handyman!"

"I have always highly recommended Ocean Seven Builders. We have used them many times. They have done our garage roof, the main roof on our house, they have put in new roof for my town home, and all looks beautiful. The team is very prompt response. The crew is very friendly and professional. I will use them again for future needs."
"We have worked with Moreno Construction for several different projects over the last few years. We first discovered them on Angie's list several years ago and after doing some additional research and due diligence, wherein we looked at other projects they had performed as well as interviewed past happy clientele, we made the confident decision to hire Eric and his team. You know how there is this proverbial fabled dream that you will discover that contractor that you not only trust but end up bonding with, both because they are proficient in their trade-craft but are also just great people who treat you like family? That notion is personified by Eric and his crew. We are in the area only seasonally and as construction project coordination goes, it's a generally understood paradigm that one can't always be assured schedules will line up precisely around what is convenient, especially as it relates to the job getting underway right when it aligns seamlessly with the calendars of all parties concerned. In fact, as New Yorkers, we feel as though we have come uncomfortably close to seeing and/or hearing it all, with specific regard to every imaginable contractor nightmare. As such, when we were here in the Coachella Valley last year (2017), we found it unavoidable that we had to depart back to New York before our kitchen was to be completed. Because of the outstanding rapport we had developed with Eric and his crew while we were here, we made the decision to allow his team to continue their work in our house even after we departed. Collective gasp, right? Yeah maybe at first but I have to say that in retrospect, I will always be glad we took that step with Eric. He conscientiously cultivated our peace of mind, trust and confidence by keeping us in the loop, face-timing updates and as was revealed to us when we finally returned this season, completed a truly beautiful job. In fact, we considered the anticipation of arriving back this year for the big reveal, to be an added element of excitement. To this day, I can't think of another contractor I would ever trust to work inside our home when we could not remain within the geographical area. Furthermore, we will again be departing the area next week and have likewise again contracted with him to remodel our bathroom after we are gone. And lets' be honest, were it not for the looming trust factor inherent in these types of relationships between contractor and customer, isn't that really the ideal way most people would prefer it be undertaken? Out of the way, safely removed from the construction zone, and relieved of the requirement for oversight? Since this is not the first satisfactory job Moreno Construction has done for us, this review of their services could be considered overdue. Admittedly I am not a serial sport reviewer. However, I was prompted to write this one, in part because of two recent negative reviews I noticed posted on Angie's List. I am going out on a limb here because knowing Eric and his team the way I do, including and especially his partner Mark, I am confident that these reviews in the comprehensive picture, are overarchingly undeserved and certainly inconsistent with the brand of service and satisfaction that our experience has proven he endeavors to provide....at least to the degree that they are incongruous with the long list of great reviews that his company has otherwise earned. While it is true that anyone can be dealt a hiccup in the form of a moment in time in an otherwise illustrious chronicle or some exceptional set of circumstances, I without reservation feel absolutely confident in my review and recommendation of Moreno Construction. All anyone need do, is to read past these anomalous blips to find that the true depth of his company's review history is decidedly and predominantly "Angie's List green" in color. Sincerely, Alex Grant and Allan Todd March, 2018 Rancho Mirage, CA"
"Mega Power Electric is an excellent company to work with. Gary and his team are knowledgeable, honest, and will go out of their way to get the job done right. We installed panels and solar battery storage unit in our home and we're reaping the benefits of being clean and green."
"I contacted R & R Remodeling because they were recommended to me through my church. They came out to assess the situation promptly and gave me an estimate within just a few days. The fee seemed reasonable to me, and this window was preventing further progress on our living room project, so we said yes. They began work the next week. I was very pleased with the work of Bill the framer who works with R & R Remodeling experts. He got started a bit later in the morning than I was expecting, but that is the only thing that I have to say that is even slightly less than glowing. Bill was very knowledgeable and professional throughout. He was very thoughtful and concerned about getting the window weather sealed and making everything look as if this work never needed to be done in the first place. He cleaned up after himself as he went along. He had all the tools he needed for the job with him and worked steadily and efficiently until the job was done. If only all builders could be like this. This window is now perfectly installed in our living room wall and we can proceed with trimming it out and finishing our project. Yay!"
Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between $20,000 and $50,000 on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it’s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for $3,000, while others cost upwards of $150,000.
Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:
How long do you expect the process to take?
Are you fully licensed and insured?
How much of the work will you subcontract?
Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?
How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?
How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?
How much experience do you have?
No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.
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
Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.
