Every group that came to work on our pool was professional, friendly and I think most refreshing-hard working! Always showing up early and working until the particular phase they were on was complete these folks were true professionals. Their experience and commitment to excellence was always apparent. Even our notorious building inspector could not find any problems, he even commented on what a nice pool we were getting. Merritt Aluminum...wow. We could have used a local contractor but decided to go ahead and go with the company Fun State recommended and works with regularly. So glad we did not break up the team here! The young man who measured for the enclosure was so meticulous. No time was wasted either, a couple of days after he measured; they were setting up the enclosure. Communication was fantastic all the way through the process; another aspect I find quite refreshing. There are so many options when it comes a custom pool; design, tile and texture. Barry our salesman was so helpful and patient. He answered anything we asked and offered his insights when we requested his thoughts. This has been a very good experience all around. We have had construction work done here before and have had to do a lot of the clean up work. Not so with Fun State Pools. They picked up every scrap and evened out all around the pool. NICE. Also, we're glad we had the pool go in during the winter because in reality, it takes a long time to get an in ground pool to swimmable. It would have been hard to NOT swim during our hot summers. For now, we are enjoying the spa while small pool details are finished up. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our Fun State Pool.

We are enjoying our new home addition thanks to the excellent design drawn by Architect Warren E. Barry, of W.E.B. Designs, in the Gainesville area (office in Newberry). He is courteous, friendly, attentive to detail and easy to work with. He listened to our thoughts and came up with a plan (design) that we love. Warren also gave us ideas we hadn't thought of and asked if we would like them included in the design.
One of the great things about working with Warren is his timely communication. We appreciated how he kept us informed every step of the process and answered all our questions. We saw first-hand how his plans guided the builders to produce a great addition to our home. If you are looking for an architect, we highly recommend Warren Barry!

I contacted them for a quote to put in a gas line. They responded quickly and had a plumber come out to give me a quote. I found the price to be competitive and with the help of good marks from Angie's list, I called to schedule the installation. I was told Thursday the plumber would be here and they would give an hour?s notice. I waited all day Thursday and by 4:30 no one showed. I called the company and they said ?sorry someone must have forgotten to write you in on the schedule?. I then had to re-schedue and about 3 days later a qualified plumber came out and installed the line. He informed me that the inspector would be out to check his work. Two weeks later and no inspector showed up so once again I had to call. They said ?sorry but it appears we didn?t notify the inspector?. The next day the inspector came and approved the line. I then waited for Jim Dickerson Plumbing to come to complete the installation. Several days later I again had to call. I was told that they would look into it and get back to me later in the day. I never herd from anyone until the next day when the plumber was at my door and it was a good thing I was home. I think that some companies get too big and forget the things that are important to their customers. I had no problem with the work performed but there is no reason this should have taken almost 1 month to complete. In the future I will try to find a plumber that does what they say and provides dependable service.

Eric comes set and ready to work - not too early // but just right. He took care of many things on the list over two days, but in particular he installed two high-end, hyper-designed (many tiny parts and set screws. ack!) xenon gas bathroom sconces with fantastic precision and patience. We...
We are so glad we decided to go with Fun State Pools rather than another contractor which we were encouraged to use. We got 3 estimates and they were all pretty much in line with each other so really, we ended up going with who we were most comfortable with. It took a long time for them to...

FAQs for residential design projects in Alford, FL
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
