"Hired David Graf to repair a rotten beam on our patio, replace stucco/drywall around it, and redo the second floor balcony decking with new hand railings. Not only David provided us with the most competitive estimate, he realized some material savings during the process which ended up saving about 10% at the end. Quality exceeded our expectations. He is a man of his word - definitely would hire him again! Thanks David!"

"It was a great experience. Very professional, paid extra attention to the details and my needs. We would highly recommend them for anyone wanting perfection. In fact we are building a lenai in the spring and they are performing the work with an outdoor kitchen."

"JAM more than met our expectations! We had heard all of the horror stories with kitchen remodels from friends and neighbors, so we were ready for a bumpy ride. However, from the very first phone call with Rick Sr. our experience was TOP KNOTCH! Speaking of which, he actually took our first call when he was on vacation! That truly shows his dedication! After the first official meet and greet, JAM told us how the entire process would work-1) kitchen cabinet/countertop tear-out 2)replace cabinets and countertops 3) touch up painting 4) enjoy our new kitchen. They gave us timelines for each phase and always had the job done on time; if not early. The one thing that I want to emphasize is how thoughtful and compassionate Rick Sr. and Rick Jr. were through the entire process. They completely ripped out our kitchen over the Christmas holidays, but they were extremely conscientious to our needs and left us with a **functional kitchen** so we could still cook and enjoy our time with family. Needless to say, do we recommend JAM? You better believe it! PLEASE make that first call and see what they can do for you. You will NOT be disappointed!"

"This company was awesome and very professional. Avi was helpful in helping me make important decisions. He made my whole house a beautiful luxury home. He was an answer to my prayers. My house was destroyed due to a bad water leak. As soon as I met him I knew he was the one. I would recommend him to everyone! I am so grateful I found him. I think Avi and Ben are Angel's from heaven. If there was ever a situation from a subcontractor he was Johnny on the spot. I will use him over and over again. Please give this wonderful man who has the kindest heart your your home repairs."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

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.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.
