"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."

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"I decided to upgrade several elements of my home and hired Merryfield. They were fabulous. Lew (co-owner) helped me to figure out what I needed, but at the same time, respected my simpler taste and budget. The work crew was terrific. I work from home 3 days a week and I was totally comfortable while they were there and equally comfortable when I wasn't there. I have a snarky dog whom the crew completely charmed. I can't say enough about the friendliness, cleanliness and politeness of the workers. I found the folks at Merryfield to be good communicators, timely and flexible. They stayed very much within my budget. I couldn't be happier with the outcome!"

"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

Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.

In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

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.
