"Once he was able to fit us into his schedule, his crew showed up promptly and worked til the job was complete. Joe was patient and helpful in examining our options for insulation, doors and windows and his price was fair. I had a couple change orders, which he graciously fit in ... small sliding door to a loft. His crew worked like a well-oiled machine and did a great job on everything. Windows were placed exactly as we asked and the steel interior turned out great. Thank you Cover's Construction!"

"Great. Neil's crew did a fantastic job. They worked quickly and you could tell they were confident in their work. We had used DeWit Construction several years ago at another home (this was before the roofing section became it's own entity) to put on a new roof after damaged during high wind/hail storm and also to rebuild the underside of an upper deck which had not been correctly supported. We are already considering them for another project."

"They promptly returned my initial call...came for the consultation...returned with the estimate and began the work within FOUR days!!! (We were lucky they were able to fit us in between some bigger projects they had scheduled) They came at 8:30 AM every morning..(the first morning in the last April snow) and did not leave for other jobs until my porch was done. They built the new north wall and closet....did all the drywall, electrical, floor tile and wood finishing. Perfectly matching the woodwork and closet doors to the rest of my house. From the outside (and inside) it looks like it was original. They were professional, personable, and expertly skilled at all phases of the construction. My cold, open, north facing cement porch has been transformed to a beautiful, functional "Entry Foyer". I can't wait to plan my next project for them!!""

"Final product was excellent and was happy with both the garage interior and roofing work quality. Some hiccups with respect to project length and costs but again happy with the end product. Kept us apprised of changes as they occurred and was forthright about costs which we appreciated."

"The technician did an excellent job. It did take a while to get the repair finished, but that was due to Bertazzoni delivering the parts. I have had multiple problems with this particular appliance. My range now works better than it did when new, but I have a feeling that even if I have continuing problems with it, American Home Shield will just repair rather than replace due to the cost of the range. By the way, I'm not exactly sure of the date of the repair."

"Wust Custom Construction helped us acheieve an open floor plan by removing a load bearing wall and creating a more functional support structure for our space. Brice did this job precisely and efficiently in one day with a two man team. We hired this construction service for just the demo/construction of our project and would definitely hire again for any projects, start to finish."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.

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.

Modular homes can be a great investment, especially for those who find the prices of stick-built real estate too high. Modular homes are usually much more affordable because they’re mass-manufactured and then assembled on-site or delivered mostly assembled. If they’re installed properly and by professionals, they can last for between 50 and 100 years, potentially making them an outstanding investment.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
