"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 could not be happier with our new bathroom, thanks to McCormick! Khaled was knowledgeable and really took the time to understand our style preferences. The whole team was great about keeping the workspace tidy, which we appreciated. Now, we have a bathroom that feels luxurious and welcoming. Highly satisfied with their work!"

"From meeting with the owner, Charles, right through the end of the project this was a great experience. Charles called daily to keep me updated, which I appreciated very much. The work crew, Lead person Ron, Joe, Alex, Martin the plumber, Heran the electrician, David the stucco person, were all very professional, knowledgeable, and polite. Lots of precautions were taken to protect floors, walls etc. The work site was cleaned up daily at the end of the day. Overall, this company is GREAT! A BIG thanks to Charles and crew!!"

"I can’t say enough good things about Jake and his construction company. He recently completed an addition on our home, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Jake was professional, dependable, knowledgeable, and took a lot of pride in his work. He kept us informed throughout the project, paid attention to the details, and made sure everything was done right instead of cutting corners. The quality of the finished addition exceeded our expectations and looks like it was always meant to be part of the house. It’s hard to find a contractor you can truly trust, but Jake is one of them. He showed up, followed through on what he promised, and treated our home with respect. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. I would recommend Jake and his company without hesitation to anyone looking for quality construction work. Five stars all the way — we would absolutely hire him again!"

"I contacted Pen and Mason for some home improvements I needed new lights installed in my kitchen, a door replaced, and some additional fence work. I sent a message and got an immediate response. We quickly scheduled a meeting, and Juan came by. He was very polite and really listened to what I wanted. He even showed me a couple of different lighting options that matched exactly what l was looking for. The very next day, Juan showed up with the new door and lighting. As he worked, I noticed how professional and clean he was. I ended up asking if he could take on a bit more work, and he had no problem with that at all. He made the whole process super easy and stress free. One of the standout parts was the custom metal fence he made by hand to fit my existing block wall. It came out great. I would highly recommend Pen and Mason for any home improvement needs. Definitely a 5 star contractor!"

Storm Shelters FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost of building a cinder block storm shelter can range from $3,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on various factors. Size, location, additional features, and customization all influence the overall cost. A smaller, basic shelter might be more budget-friendly, while larger or specialized designs may incur higher expenses. 

The decision to build or buy an outdoor pizza oven depends on your personal preferences, budget, and time. Whether building is cheaper hinges on the style you choose and the tools and materials you already possess. For example, having a surplus of fire bricks from a previous project can significantly reduce costs. However, if you need to purchase all the required materials, buying a pre-made oven is often the more affordable and less labor-intensive option, with prices for quality versions typically ranging from $300 to $1,000. Keep in mind that while a DIY project can be cheaper than hiring a professional for a custom build, it carries the risk of injury or costly construction errors.

No, tiny houses don’t have to have wheels. However, if you plan on traveling with your tiny house and want to use it as a transportation method, it’s a good idea to buy a tiny house with wheels or put wheels on one. If you plan to stay put and live full-time in your tiny house, wheels aren’t necessary.

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.

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.
