"Mark and his crew did an excellent job remodeling my bathroom. It looks absolutely beautiful. His crew also put in lighting in my kitchen and removed some cabinetry. The kitchen now looks more spacious. They also replaced the flooring in one of my bathroom downstairs. I was so pleased with the upstairs bathroom, I had Mark and his crew remodel my downstairs bathroom. My son and daughter-in-law were so impressed with the results, they wanted Mark to work on their home but they live outside his service area."

"The project went better than expected. Dave was punctual, and very helpful with both my refrigerator install and connecting waterlines. I felt comfortable with him in my home. Dave was refreshingly honest and referred me to a dependable source to work on a project that was outside his expertise. I appreciate his willingness to accommodate me on a weekend."

"We decided to remodel our outdated bathroom, and McCormick Home Builders was a fantastic choice. Khaled and the team delivered high-quality work within the timeline and our budget. Every detail, from the tile work to the lighting, was beautifully done. They communicated well throughout, keeping us informed at every step, and the end result was truly a spa-like bathroom we can enjoy daily. We’d love to work with them again!"

"Things went very well.  There were a couple of misunderstandings but they worked with me to resolve them very quickly.  They helped with some budgeting which helped when trying to pick out cabinets and fixtures and surfaces.  There were some delays in getting shower tile, but they managed to finish the entire project in about 3 weeks.  The bathroom looks great.  The workers were all very polite and worked hard to keep the mess out of the rest of the house.  The cleaned up the worksite at the end of each work day.  I would recommend them highly.

"Shir’s team did a full gut-remodel of our kitchen and living room. Our entire floor looks remarkably transformed from an outdated design to a modern, cozy yet practical/functional space. In the kitchen - they installed extensive semi-custom cabinetry; new electrical, appliances and plumbing; and aesthetically fabricated countertops, backsplashes and waterfalls. In the living room - we got a fireplace makeover (with beautiful symmetrically placed tiles) as well as the entire flooring replaced with modern looking large-format porcelain tiles. The team was highly skilled, dedicated and hardworking. The team lead was an excellent problem solver with attention to detail. They executed our vision to perfection - delivering exceptional quality at a reasonable price. We are super happy with the results. The entire space is now ideal for entertaining and relaxation both. Our guests seem to want to mostly hang out on this particular remodeled floor, and that is the best testimonial !"

"BD Project & Design built an addition to my house. I was surprised how this project went so smoothly. Kevin was my project manager, and he was great. He was honest, communicative and respectful. The rest of the crew was also amazing, they cleaned house every day at the end of their work. If there was some issues he resolved everything and informed me before to find best solution. The project was finished ahead of schedule and outcome was excellent. Will highly recommend BD Project & Design, very trustworthy . Thank you Kevin and BD Project & Design."

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, there are many disadvantages to stone houses. They are slow to build and the materials are pricey, both of which balloon the total cost. Stone walls require a more robust foundation, which costs more to install. Running plumbing, electrical, and HVAC through a stone house is much more difficult too, so homeowners need to seriously consider if the aesthetic benefit is worth the cost of building with stone. One of the questions to ask a masonry contractor is if a similar aesthetic can be achieved with another material.

If you’re building a pole barn in place of a traditional home, lenders usually don’t offer traditional mortgages for these structures. You can also expect higher insulation costs and building permits may not be allowed in your area. Even if you’re just using a pole barn as storage or as a shelter for animals, these structures are less durable than steel buildings and require more maintenance.

Most cottage builds take between six months and one year from planning to completion. The timeline includes design, permitting, site prep, construction, and finishing work. Factors such as weather, material delays, and permitting can affect the schedule. Hiring an experienced cottage building contractor and making prompt decisions can help speed up the process.

Below-ground shelters are the best in terms of durability, but there is a risk of flooding and obstruction. Modern technology and rigorous construction requirements make above-ground shelters a better option for accessibility, safety, and, usually, your budget. They may not have the same aesthetic appeal, but many of their features make above-ground shelters a better option. 

There are several ways to save money and keep costs down when building an outdoor kitchen. Building on an existing patio can reduce the cost of a new foundation, especially if it's close to the house. You can also save on utility line installation by opting out of a sink and using a built-in propane or charcoal grill. If you have the skills, tackling parts of the project yourself—like building or finishing cabinets, installing fixtures, and constructing seating—can lead to significant savings. Reusing appliances you already have is another great way to cut costs. Finally, consider starting small with just the essential components and adding more features over time as your budget allows.
