"Creative Home Remodeling saved us and our retaining wall project from disaster. We had originally worked with two other contractors and our city for 15 months and all we had to show for the time and money spent was a huge hole and an even bigger pile of dirt in our backyard. When Ovi, the Creative Home Remodeling Project Manager, answered our call for an estimate, he was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also compassionate about all we had been through. He gave us a fair estimate to complete the job, but also his word that they would not give up until the job was complete and we were fully satisfied. Working with our city was very challenging, but they never gave up, meeting every requirement to gain approval and keeping us informed every step of the way. When we finally obtained approval, they immediately got to work, and the job was completed within a couple of weeks. Then they finished the job with lovely pavers and grass sod, so that our backyard was once again lovely, and finished just in time for our family’s Easter celebration. The work they did was excellent and we highly recommend them!"

"We contracted Meir Construction Company on July of last year 2021. The original plan to start the renovation was around December. After we signed the contract we never had any type of good communication from Thai Gaon (one of the owner). I called Thai second week of January after finding out from our local city hall that our permit has been issued. We agreed with the date to start the work on February 21st, 2022. First week was great the crew did a great job tearing down the kitchen. However I’ve noticed that they just dumped all the garbage on the side of my house which was recently repainted. I asked the Forman why they were dumping the garbage on the side of my house why there’s no dumpster in front of my house. The response was “we will take the garbage right away. However it did not happened up to the point were there was so much garbage that it nearly collapse our fence. The first crew that came rarely work the full week. We were told multiple times that they will come at 8 in a morning however there were times that they didn’t show up for days. They always have excuses. They were sloppy and unprofessional and we were starting to be concerns. They never cleaned up after themselves and treated our house as a garbage dump. Weeks went by with nothing accomplish. After months of this and much of complaining, we sent Thai a video of what condition our house was. His response was “was that taken today?” (April 29th) And we said “yes”. After that we were told that he will be firing the present crew and he even sent us a screen shot of that conversation. Second crew came and pressured us to repay them to fix the mistakes from the first crew. Example, we need to repurchase a $700 worth of molding that was thrown away by the first crew. When the electrician came we were told we have to purchase all the materials needed. All of these was covered in the contract. When we asked Thai why we have to pay for something that supposed to be included in the contract. His reply was “ Do you want me to complete the job or walk away?” We have a screen shot of this conversation. He then claim that he was net zero on the project and he refused to pay anymore labor towards our job. Also their unlicensed electrician disconnected our solar resulting a $600 electric bill and we also failed the inspection due to his work not being up to code. And he has a nerve to ask for $500 to come fix it. Then the second crew came and they were worst than the first. Once again inferior workmanship and treating our house as a garbage dump. Left over lunch soda bottle, construction materials, etc… Island countertop was still not on site and they were asking us to pay to have it delivered. We had to have a family friend to drive to my house in the middle of the day because they needed unloading our countertop which they damaged by scuffing the edges. Their contractor also put a ding in our brand new refrigerator door. Our soft close kitchen cabinets and drawers are not aligned and spice rack doesn’t close properly. In the hopes in completing this job which at this point we were without a kitchen for three months we ask Hector to paint half of the island cabinets to match and we bought a special paint for the project but he totally botched the job. He did not prepped the cabinets and sprayed the paint directly onto the cabinets, which resulted in it peeling right off. It did not stick. The remnants are all over our backyards in our plants, they never cleaned it up. For this he demanded $500. He also demanded $1000 to put our doors and fixtures back which they removed. The lists of errors goes on and on. He offered our friend to put the shutters back and put the doors which they promised but we found out from our friend that they called him the next morning and told him we are not paying anything anymore with this project. He was told that if we want to pursue putting the shutters and doors back we will have to pay it, this was on May 23rd and we have not heard from them. In summation this job has not been completed. There are numerous infractions too many to list. We do not wish anyone else to go through this horrible experience that we had with this company."

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from $6 to $14 per square foot. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. Removal of existing concrete, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.
