"The link on Angie's List to their website www.rockfordremodelingcontractor.org does not go to the correct website.  The second phone number listed is no longer a working number.  These have been fixed.  I did another call on Sunday night and he called backed within 30 minutes.  Apparently this company does not want to be listed under Painting-Interior, because they are no longer there.  I was referred to one of their subcontractors."

"Chris Huber supervised the crew that build a sunroom on the back of our townhouse. We had a very good experience working with him and he was an excellent communicator. He wanted us to be completely happy with the addition to our home, and we definitely were. ."

"The service from start to finish was top notch, fast and very professional. You cannot even tell there were major repairs done to the garage. They even worked with me while I was having issues getting the check from the insurance company cashed. I recommend Reuel Johnson to anyone who I is looking for a contractor.

"In the home repair world, it's always difficult to find professional people that do quality work without charging an arm and a leg. Westward took on our complicated carpentry projects by listening to our needs and ideas, offering up various options to complete the tasks and then made it work.  We found Westward to be very professional and knowledgeable. They performed the work in a timely fashion and showed up when they said they would.  We highly recommend Westward Carpenter Contractors and will certainly use them again!"

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Builder-grade is one of two types of stock cabinets, whereas semi-custom designs allow homeowners some control over the color, finish, or hardware on their cabinets. Stock cabinets are sold in construction-grade and builder-grade designs. Construction-grade cabinets are usually made from inexpensive medium-density fiberboard, which is prone to moisture damage, whereas builder-grade models are a step up with higher-quality materials. Construction-grade designs are the most common type of cabinets in America.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

How long it takes to build a log cabin depends on a variety of factors, including its size and design, and whether or not you have to clear the land. Construction can take a few weeks for a prefab log cabin on an established site, but up to eight or nine months for a custom cabin on undeveloped land. In comparison, the timeline to build a house is typically four to 12 months.

Modular homes are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and faster to build than traditional homes. They also offer customizable designs.
