"The first day that I met Andy I knew I would hire him. He's very pleasant, knoweldgeable and conscientious. His work far exceeded my expectations. They arrived on time, prepared the space to ensure it remained clean and left the work space in perfect condition. I will be hiring him again and I highly recommend North Point Builders!"

"Blue Ridge Builders completed my full basement remodel and I was very impressed with the company and the crew who worked on my project. Hiring them was a great idea because they provided quality service, professional customer service, and they showed up early to job sites. I enjoyed working with them and I recommend them to anyone looking to have major/minor home improvement projects done."

It went great!!   For the estimate they worked around my schedule.  I knew how I wanted the deck to look but that was it. Lew was great in helping me decide all the details. The work was done in a few days and all the workers were very polite and helpful  with any questions I had along the way. I now have a gorgeous deck from the back of my house with new sliding doors up to my pool that has a locking gate for the safety of my children. They did a fantastic job!!

"Trying to get the scheduling of the work was not easy due to the company being over booked. I left several messages and my phone call was never returned. I finally was able to have an appointment scheduled and the gentleman was late because he was lost (which is understandable) but no one called me to advise me of the mishap or to let me know he would be late. Once we decided on what was going to be done, he spent the day taking the tiles up. We had to reschedule him to come out to put the tiles down. In speaking with his "boss", he was telling me the extra charges that would take place and explained to me that most customers purchase their own tile, even though the deal includes the tile. He informed me that they don't make any money off these big deals and that it's just their way of getting their foot in the door, which I think was unprofessional. I took the following Monday off for the work to be done and two guys show up with no material or supplies but inform me that the guy that was suppose to do the work called off for the day. I continously called the 302 # listed on this site to no avail. The guys had to leave because they had no tile and wasn't aware that there was a radiator, when the gentleman who was there should have noted that. I was called by another gentleman who was very nice and very professional and he asked me to have the guys come back the next day and they would waive my additional fees. I had an appointment the following morning but was home by noon. The men arrived at noon and finished the job that day. The tile looks nice and they were very nice.  They took measurements to replace my tile in my kitchen and to put molding in my living and dining room and never sent me an estimate. They did leave footprints throughout my living room and steps...but overall I am pleased with the tile.

"Jim Hunt and his team did an outstanding job.  We could not be more pleased.  His team arrived on time each morning and were clearly dedicated to their trade and dedicated to their customer.  They were receptive to our scheduling needs as we wanted to remain at home as long as possible during the floor job.  The floors were done in two phases as directed by us without question by Hunt and the floor company.  The floor company used by Hunt also gets and A for all categories.  The entire job was completed in a timely manner and the home was left neat and cleaner than we imagined it could be after a hardwood floor sand/refinish job.  And we are always very concerned with cleanliness when selecting contractors.  Price was fair for both the family room job and floors.  Hunt also made great suggestions to enhance final appearance.  Furthermore, upon arrival the first day, we added two relatively minor jobs and after hearing them stated he would not raise the price given at original estimate.  It is evident he prides himself in customer satisfaction.  I highly recommend him to any member reading these reviews.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.

Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.

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

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.
