"360 Contracting did an awesome job installing shutters on the exterior of my home. The team showed up on time and was courteous/professional. I also found the price to be fair. I would recommend 360 for your general contracting needs!"

"Bob Reicher came to my house,  took measurements and then went with me
to Loew's to choose the right door on a Saturday afternoon and he then
picked up the door  on Monday, November 11th, a holiday, and he and his
employee installed the sliding glass door all in one day.  He is exceptionally
accurate and neat in his work.
The building is 30 years old and I know it took my neighbor 2 days to install their door due to an improper fitting.; however Bob
had no problems fitting my door.  It fit perfectly the first time and they completed the job in less than 6 hours, because he took accurate measurements beforehand. He knew exactly what he was doing.
He had one worker with him and both were precise, polite, and professional.
Several years ago Mr. Reicher also put on my back deck.  And then too he took  accurate measurements and was the only contractor to submit a precise drawing to the Condo Assoicatiion and the Building Inspector. 
I would highly recommend Bob Reicher for any construction project he chooses.

"We just completed a project to gut and remodel our kitchen. I will (and already have) highly recommend him to any family or friend looking for a reliable and trustworthy contractor for any home improvement project. We did several projects over the years and have had some horrible experiences. They were so bad that we held off on redoing the kitchen until it was literally falling apart. I did a lot of research and met with several contractors before deciding on Ed. His price estimate was reasonable and right in the middle of the pack. He time estimate was 3 weeks and I was initially dubious that the project could be completed in that time frame. He actually completed the project in 2.5 weeks which exceeded my expectations. I believe a major reason is that Ed has excellent project management skills. He tasked us with homework before he would start the project. We finalized the cabinet selections, countertop, tile, flooring, appliances, etc. before a hammer was lifted. This ensured that there was no wait time once the project started. He would email us at the end of each day to tell us what was accomplished and what was the target for the following day. Outside of email communications he was also prompt in his replies to text messages and phone calls when I needed to talk to him. He and his crew came every weekday and were on time *every single day*. There was a day that was snowing. Ed pulled up about half an hour earlier than usual. He arrived earlier because he was afraid that the road conditions might make him late. It was a perfect example of his professionalism and commitment to his work. In addition to having a beautiful new kitchen, I feel fortunate to have finally found a contractor that I will continue to use for any future project. It seems he has a lot of repeat customers which is a testament to the quality of his work and trustworthiness as a contractor."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

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.

How long it takes to build a log cabin depends on a variety of factors, including its size and design, and whether or not you have to clear the land. Construction can take a few weeks for a prefab log cabin on an established site, but up to eight or nine months for a custom cabin on undeveloped land. In comparison, the timeline to build a house is typically four to 12 months.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.
