The water abatement wall was not in Dan's wheelhouse and ended up not working at all, so we weren't able to get the lower cracks fixed. Dan poured us a very nice cap to the seawall and widened it so that it could be walked on. He also created a notch for our pier to be mounted in. He was able to fix a couple of heavily damaged spots above the water line and one significant crack in the seawall. The problem is with the cracks that he wasn't able to fix. Those cracks propagated up into the new cap almost immediately which is unfortunate. Overall, Dan has extremely good pricing and his flatwork looks excellent. I'm disappointed that the repairs didn't take place when the water level was low enough because it diminishes what would be an otherwise beautiful job. The quality mark is really a B+ or an A-, but Angie's List doesn't allow those. We have patio and driveway work that we will definitely have Dan do when the time comes, so this overall B review isn't really as negative as it might seem. I think dealing with the water was probably too much for Dan, but everything else is fine. I would recommend Molnar Construction for your concrete work.

So we contacted Jeff Pokryfke of Appletree Development in our hometown of Minooka. Jeff came right out to look over the site and called a day or so later with his estimate. Because our yard is sloped and sometimes collects water in the area we wanted the shed, he recommended a concrete foundation. Although the estimate was a bit more than we had planned on, when we considered that it included exactly the size and height we wanted, all the labor and materials,as well as the concrete, it really did seem reasonable (especially compared to what we had seen at the stores. We went ahead and Jeff build a 10 x 8 shed with 10 ft high walls, a gambrel roof with a window, double doors, and the concrete foundation, finished with fiberboard siding, cedar trim, and a shingled roof. It looks great! He also put in a large upper storage area. We were very impressed with the quality of the work, his timeliness in completing it, and his communication at each point in construction. Additionally, I really like how he thoroughly cleaned up the worksite - no stray nails, boards, trash, etc. left behind. We will definitely be calling him again when we are ready to remodel our two bathrooms.

Besides that fact that less than 6 months after we moved in we had to replace the new garage opener that the Maloneys installed with another new one because the first had been misinstalled and burned itself up, and the fact the our intercom system would not work and when the main box was opened, we found that the system had been broken on the inside and put back together using duct tape, then our guest room closet shelving collapsed and we found that the screws were not put into wood, but put into the drywalling, on another occasion we returned from a trip early and dropped by his shop and found he was using moldy wood to build the framework for our master bathroom counters that would have eventually been \"covered\" with ceramic tile, I could go on but the worst and most recent is the leaking roof that we have. Before the inside was finished we experienced water leakage coming through our newly installed roofing in the form of puddles on the floor. At that time the ceilings had also been torn out and the rafters and wood for the roof was exposed. Mr. Maloney admitted that he had installed part of the roof, but only the front part of the house. He ?repaired it?. He completed the construction and we moved in May 2005. In spring 2008 our area received torrential rains so much that nearby towns flooded. Unbeknownst to us our roof leaked and probably had been leaking since the time Mr. Maloney repaired our roof. We have a thick layer of blown in insulation in our ceilings and the leakage was so much that I just happen to go into one of the occasionally used sitting/bedroom areas and noticed a pool of water on the coffee table, water dripping onto the carpeted floor, the loveseat was also wet and a hole in the ceiling that water was dripping through. The drywall was sagging and wet. In fact a large area of that room?s ceiling was wet. In the bedroom a hole had also developed and was dripping, the ceiling and north wall was wet. The drywall paper had lifted from the drywall and the north wall was so wet that it warped! Later that evening we heard a drip and found that the recessed lighting in our kitchen was leaking water. Our sunroom and family room walls also have the same wet drywall damage. It is a mess! Another issue that has arisen is the possibility of mold in the blown in insulation. When our kids come home or occasionally one of us would sleep in the room more than 2 or more nights they start to experience sinus problems and headaches. In July, Mr. Maloney's insurance company came out to see the roof. They denied the claim. The insurance company told my husband this verbally and would not send a denial letter to us to tell us why the claim was denied. Mr. Maloney has been ignoring the problem that he has caused. He has know since June 2008 and this is March 2009."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/raleigh/ron-maloney-construction-reviews-2066010.htm"},"position":6}]}

The crew showed up just after nine A.M. We had given notice to residents that all cars must be off the lot by 8:00. The final car cleared the lot abou 15 minutes before the crew arrived so they were able to set up and begin. The area near the street was in deplorable condition. The areas...

First words out of sales man's mouth was the back corner of basement was most likely broken away. Stated that the wall needed to be dug up, pinned and removed. When we pointed out that the cracks were 1/32 wide and were not leaking, he just told us they would be. The second vendor did not...

We contracted with Dan at the end of September 2013 to perform repairs to our seawall. Our lake fluctuates in height significantly during the year and we wanted the repairs done in the fall because the lake was low. In fact, in October of that year, the seawall was exposed all the way down...

FAQs for treehouse building projects in Galatia, IL
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
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.
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.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
