I do honest work I don't try to inflate cost two clients, I've been apart of a lot of large jobs and careers with other companies I previously worked with my father had the Behlen metal buildings dealership he is past I go from job to job when I get task completed I try to find another. I kind of like doing smaller jobs with the small crew it just seems easier I enjoy working with the owner or the project engineer to help solve problems make Corrections re-engineered I am not an engineer though, but sometimes it's just plain sense!

"Hired to build new back deck with pergola. Was supposed to start and finish in May in order to enjoy new deck for summer. Delays, problems, unresponsive. Late in acquiring work permit. Supplies left on lawn left dead grass spots. Crew members taken off job to go work on other jobs while they stored their tools in my garage. Had to let them back into my garage multiple times to get tools to go work on other jobs. Broke sprinkler line while digging after I had it marked beforehand. Sawdust from work clogged up my AC unit and had to have repaired. Workers injured themselves on job. As of October, not still not finished. The deck failed city inspection and its been 3 months since they've done any work. Waiting on them to accomplish repairs. Have tried to contact them and they haven't responded to me now in over a month. Would not recommend. Considering legal action at this point."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can finance new construction using a construction loan or a construction-to-permanent loan, or you can use a home equity line of credit or a cash-out refinance if you’re building a second home. Some mortgagors may have restrictions on DIY house builds, so be sure to check that you can get financing before starting your project.

The construction stage, which includes pouring the foundation, framing the structure or building the walls if you choose a concrete house, and installing doors, windows, a roof, siding, drywall, and flooring, will almost always take the longest. The planning phase can take just as long if you’re building a custom home, but the finishing process, which includes painting, installing trim, and finishing the interior, will rarely take longer than the previous two phases.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.

Building a house is generally more expensive upfront than moving an existing one. However, the total cost depends on factors such as location, size, materials, labor, and permits. Moving a house can incur significant expenses for transportation, permits, site preparation, and renovations. On the other hand, building a new house allows for customization and may have lower long-term maintenance costs.
