"Job was completed per request. After we pointed out our concerns, they worked with us to completion. It took slightly longer to complete, but it was well worth the wait. Many other contractors would probably walk and not address any concerns, but BeHome finished. I would strongly recommend BeHome to do your job. They are professional and friendly."

"Excellent workmanship and professionalism from Ohad (owner), Luis and David! Ohad is very thorough going over the details of the project, cost and time. Luis and David were on time, worked extremely hard and cleaned up the site at the end of every day. Luis would let me know immediately if there were any issues (a couple and very minor) and the quality of workmanship is amazing. I had all my cabinets, countertops, backsplash tiles and fixtures ordered and in stock (with guidance from Ohad) before work began and the entire process took two weeks!"

"If you’re thinking about getting a new roof, definitely go with Build Atlas. I’m in my mid-20s and had no idea where to even start, but a neighbor recommended them and I’m so glad that they did! The whole team was super friendly, down-to-earth, and made the entire process way less stressful than I imagined. They showed up when they said they would, kept everything clean, and finished faster than I expected. Plus, the roof looks fantastic — it’s like my house got a facelift! It’s rare to find a company that’s this easy to work with!"

"Michael and his team were incredibly professional. They remodeled two of our bathrooms, including doubling the square footage in our master suite. Michael stood behind his work and insured. We were fully satisfied with the product. Throughout every stage of the process, he kept a clean and tidy, worksite, and was respectful of our families time and space. We’ve referred Michael to many of our friends because of the great work and professionalism he exuded on the job. We plan on using Michael and his team for our kitchen makeover later this year."

Subcontractors FAQs, answered by experts

While it’s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.

An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design. 

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect. 

In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit. 

While you will always work with a team of professionals at some point during your home build, homeowners with experience can take on some part of the process. Manage the initial brainstorm, brief writeup, and floor layout phase with minimal assistance before contacting a general contractor. And while you can purchase stock blueprints for some home designs, it's always best to speak with professionals when choosing one ideal for your property.
