"Excellent Work! I know why everyone gives them a top rating. William was great to work with, and the painting crew did a great job. I had a vaulted popcorn ceiling, I thought after 2 coats looked good, but they weren't satisfied and did a third coat! They paint your house as it theirs. I look forward to working with them again on a kitchen project. Look no further, and hire CU MIDWEST DESIGNS."

"The company was paid to diagnose and fix a leak to my roof. They determined that a small patch of roof needed to be replaced. A couple of weeks later the leak continued from the same spot in the ceiling. The tech again came out and claimed it was another leak in a different spot although the leak inside was in the exact same spot. They did not fix the problem the first time and wanted more money for this “new leak.”"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Home additions can add significant value to a home by increasing its overall square footage and enhancing a home's functionality and appeal. Key additions such as extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or larger kitchens offer the highest returns on investment. Well-planned additions that seamlessly integrate with the existing structure and match the neighborhood's style can boost curb appeal and market value. However, the actual increase in value depends on the quality of the work, the types of additions, and the current real estate market conditions.

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand. 

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.

As long as you pull the appropriate permits to build your ADU, it will contribute to your property’s total livable square footage. This is even true for basement conversion ADUs despite the living area sitting below grade. Keep in mind that permanent improvements, especially those that add square footage, tend to increase your home value, which can affect your property taxes.

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.
