Here at Precise, we are just that, Precise. We are a second-generation company that’s been in business for 30 years. We specialize in New home construction, Custom kitchens, Kitchen installations, Bathroom remodeling, and best of all we can take care of restoration work for older homes. Our work has been published in books and catalogs over the years and we are Owner operated.

"We are very excited to have our new kitchen. Our major deciding factor when choosing a contractor was the quality of work. We had gone to several places, but we did not see the quality we were looking for until we saw the showroom with their work. We were pleasantly surprised that our demo started on time, we were kept informed of the project status and we did add on a few other projects along the way. Overall, we love the quality of the workmanship, the carpenters skills are on point with the trim work, the painters were fantastic as well. We doubled the size of kitchen and we are very pleased with the results."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can finance new construction using a construction loan or a construction-to-permanent loan, or you can use a home equity line of credit or a cash-out refinance if you’re building a second home. Some mortgagors may have restrictions on DIY house builds, so be sure to check that you can get financing before starting your project.

Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor’s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that the builder you’re considering holds all the proper licenses.

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.

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.

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.
