"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 average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.

Modular homes are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and faster to build than traditional homes. They also offer customizable designs.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.
