"Fantastic. Apologies for the short review, Angie's List did not submit my last 3 reviews and I do not want to go through the process of writing another full review. Suffice it to say, G&D was phenomenal and I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"I’m super happy with my new wooden fence! Harvest Fence was punctual and informative every step of the way. They understood exactly what my family and I wanted and went above and beyond. The pricing was great and the quality is even better!"

"The work that they did looks good.  Ripped out many rotten boards, and replaced with new boards and worked around a gas line successfully. My only issues is that I asked to have all of the rotten boards ripped out and replaced, and when i inspected afterward, I found a lot of boards that had significant rot, including a built in bench.  I ended up ripping out a bunch of additional deck boards and the wooden bench, went to Home Depot, had the boards cut to the exact size of the ones took out, and screwed down the deck boards myself and re-built the bench.  I wanted to avoid doing the work myself, but got stuck half pregnant with a job that was started, and not finished the way I wanted when I started the project in the first place.  The price for the additional work (beyond the 6 hours for $199) was much more than I expected.  I also thought I was going to be paying for 4-8 extra hours, and even at a "25% discount to normal rate" spent almost an additional $1,000 on labor, and had to finish the job myself.  Perhaps I don't have a realistic idea of how much time was really needed for this job, but it was more than I was expecting and didn't complete the work I wanted done.

"John was great to work with during our project. He was so professional and his prices were amazing. We had a flood in our kitchen and basement. John got the renovations done and our house looks amazing. We also decided to finish the entire floors in our house. John will be our general contractor from now on! Don’t hesitate to call him for a quote on your projects. You will not regret it!!"

"Some guys build decks and porches, and then there are the professionals. Let me outline for you my definition of a “professional” as Cedarwood Forest falls into this category. First and foremost there’s the painstaking attention to quality. I caught Cedarwood’s team numerous times triple-checking what was being built not only met the exact specifications but took those little extra steps (meaning more time at their cost) to ensure what they were building reflected the work of the top craftsman they are. Professionals - meaning they continuously thought outside of the box, thinking three steps ahead to make improvement recommendations using their experience to make the end-product even better. Professional - using top-grade materials but also being practical to use materials when appropriate that helped us meet our budget. Professional - always standing behind their work. Even Cedarwood makes the occasional error, but the difference is they identify the mistake before we found it, and re-work the task at their cost to make it right. Professional - Getting it done on time. No false timelines are promised, instead outline the expectations and equally important, keep us in the loop as to bumps and changes that come along. They understand communication with us is critical. Professional - not the least expensive but more than a fair price reflecting the superior quality product they deliver. These are the differences and why we chose Cedarwood Forest instead of “a guy who builds decks”."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.

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.

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

A contractor can install your shipping container home in as little as 90 days. This is notably quick compared to a traditional home build, which can take more than a year (providing there aren’t permitting or construction delays that make the wait even longer). For the quickest installation, choose a prefab container home.
