"Joe and his team from coastal renovations were one of the best experiences I have had on any renovation we have done on many homes we have owned. From start to finish they explained every step taken and when the project was completed we couldn't be happier. If your looking for a contractor I would highly recommend them."

"I specified I needed walls cleaned from a smoker in the home. I was told 1st thing that he didn't do smoke on walls and what he brought did not remove anything. Refrig. Was cleaned good and window ledges and windows cleaned but really needed walls cleaned. Now I have to find someone else. I live in Maryland and if this was my only reason for being in Delaware it would have been a wasted trip."

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"Vince from V&C was a pleasure to work with from start to finish.  I would highly recommend him to anyone, and I will be recommending him to my parents and friends who need gutter cleaning and repair work done.  He was honest and upfront about everything during our first phone call, and from his other great reviews on Angie's List, I was confident that he would do a great job.  He gave us a rough estimate of the cost of the work we needed over the phone, as he wasn't able to do an on-site estimate (which I totally understood).  With the cost of gas and travel being what it is, I don't blame him!  Not only that, but he is very busy with other gutter jobs, so he took a description of our house and gutters over the phone, and gave me a pretty solid estimate without having to actually come out here first.  Works for me!
My initial call set up a job appointment about 2 weeks out.  I felt that if he is that busy, then he must be pretty good!! (and worth a little wait) He confirmed the appointment a couple of days before, and also called and texted me when he was on his way that morning.  I appreciate the great communication!  
Vince and his assistant completed the work in about 1.5 hours.  They cleaned all the gutters, spray-jetted the downspouts that needed to be flushed, and also cleaned off the siding on the house in the areas that they worked on.  Vince re-attached the front gutter and replaced some old bent gutter nails with new screws and brackets.  He re-pitched angle slope on the rear gutter, and spray cleaned that one as well.  He removed one section of downspout in the rear and removed a pretty bad clog.  While Vince was on the roof, he pointed out some exposed nails and other roof issues for me, which was very nice of him!  With his leaf blower he used to blow out the gutters, he even offered to blow some leaves off of our patio!  After the work was completed, he even wiped down our porch and spray cleaned our sidewalks and front porch to clean up after the job!  Quick, clean, and professional!  
We are having V&C come back in the spring to install an additional downspout in the front and rear of our house, as we only have 1 per side, and the house is a bit wide for just 1.  They'll also be replacing the last remaining old gutter in the front with a new one (with screw-mounted hidden hangers instead of nails). Vince took measurements while he was here, and we are going to schedule the work soon.   I watched all the work happen, and Vince explained everything he was doing as he went along.  They worked quickly and cleaned up like  they were never here!  Vince gave us a fair price on the entire job, and even offered to give us a deal on yearly gutter cleaning if he comes back next year.

"I wanted to construct and extension on my home so I called Arius and the engineers came out and assessed my property and proposed a few different options that meet my needs. They helped me select the optimal design which meet my needs and within my budget. The design and construction was executed flawlessly and remained within our pre negotiated price and schedule. I was very pleased with their work."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Accurate flood zone designations and base flood elevations are essential for planning home building decisions in Lewes. An existing elevation certificate documents your lowest floor elevation, saving significant time. You must also review soil survey data to identify water table depths and bearing capacity limitations. Finally, check local geographic information system data for zoning rules, recorded easements, and utility service details.

Helpful?

Neglecting routine maintenance will quickly degrade home building work in DE. Leaving windows open during high-wind salt events or failing to rinse exterior surfaces accelerates corrosion on fasteners and frames. Skipping annual inspections of exterior caulking and flashing leads to premature envelope failure. Furthermore, inconsistently running exhaust fans or ignoring crawl space vapor barriers promotes rapid mold growth in your framing.

Helpful?

To keep children and pets safe during home building in Lewes, secure all construction materials to prevent wind-driven projectile hazards. Ensure contractors install perimeter fencing around open excavations to prevent falls. Address standing water immediately, as the coastal water table creates drowning and mosquito risks. For older homes, state regulations mandate formal displacement during lead and asbestos abatement to protect your family's health.

Helpful?

Inspectors closely evaluate flood zone compliance during a home building project in Lewes. They verify the elevation of the lowest habitable floor relative to the base flood elevation. Professionals also scrutinize foundation designs, stormwater management plans, and site grading. Because this area sits in a high-wind zone, inspectors thoroughly check roof-to-wall connections, hurricane straps, and shear wall placements to ensure structural safety.

Helpful?

Existing property conditions heavily dictate the scope of home building work in DE. If the property sits in a designated flood zone, significant improvements require bringing the entire structure into current flood compliance. Soil bearing capacity determines whether standard footings or deep pilings are necessary. Additionally, prior unpermitted work flagged by inspectors requires immediate upgrades to meet current building codes.
