"T&K Builders LLC, Terry and his Team were the ultimate professional. What was promised was delivered and more. Terry and his Team explained all the steps being performed. There was no surprise when it came to the invoice. I would hire T&K Builders LLC, Terry and his Team again and again for any of my home improvement projects - large or small."

"Mark was an excellent contractor to work with. He was very professional, communicated well, and exceeded our expectations in the work he completed in building us a breakfast bar and installing ceiling fans. He cleaned up everything when he finished. We would definitely use Mark's services again and be happy to refer our friends and family to him."

"Alex was here on time. Did a great job replacing the damaged column and secured it in place, as it apparently wasn't when the house was built. Cleaned up the mess and even sent me pictures of the progress."

"The worked was performed on time and on budget. There are only 2 elite preferred providers of James Hardie Siding in the Chicago area. Chicagoland Builders performed the work for a fraction of the price that the other elite preferred provider proposed, and the work was done beautifully. I would definitely use Chicagoland Builders again."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

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.
