End result - massive air leak under the cardboard. I called Kaufman & Sons and Cliff came out within a few days. He gave me a range of solutions and I chose to "make it right" ... it was a horrible job, pouring two new footings and building two block walls... tying them into existing wall... all in a crawl space with 2 ft of ceiling height. He gave me a "best case and worse case quote" (depending on how the job unfolded) and I asked him to go ahead. I have been studying building and construction work for many years and I can tell true experts quickly with just a few questions. Cliff was clearly an expert. He was able to schedule me sooner than originally expected and arrived punctually. The work was performed to a VERY high standard and the cleanup was excellent... absolutely zero mess (in partially finished basement [where he had to mix concrete]). He told me it went better than expected and billed me BELOW the lowest quote he gave me. Airleaks solved. Job done properly... Fair billing. Excellent communication and professional standards. Highly recommended.

We looked at a home built by Scott, liked it, talked with one of the subs working on it who also did work for high-end builders in the area. He was very complimentary of SBB. We met with Scott, felt he was straight-forward, honest, and low-key. We did not check any references. Works by himself with small crews only. We found an existing home we really liked, got a fairly detailed floorplan, and went to work. Contract for new home construction signed in late June 2011. Thought we might be in by Christmas 2011. Ended up moving into home in late June 2012, and that was pushing it. There were obviously multiple delays, poor timely communication between SBB and us, inadequate carpenters (i.e. not enough available), and in general we felt that we had to act as our own general contractor for many things: installed water purification system, researched water quality issues, arranged for all countertops, arranged for glass enclosures in baths, trouble-shot problems, felt that poor design eye was present in some areas (e.g. master bathroom toilet room not big enough to enter and close door without doing callisthenics around the door), poor collaboration between windows/door/trim supplier with multiple errors, atrocious painter with very poor quality (we will need to repaint the entire trim inside of the home), multiple inside projects that we simply let go of just so we could finish the job and move in. Multiple delays experienced in setting the move-in date. Did speak with a previous customer of same builder later in the process, and her account and experience was identical to ours. Overall, SBB is good quality for an average spec home. Would not recommend for any extensive custom work. Process was very difficult to endure. We had to constantly monitor the process, we requested all meetings instead of the builder, and generally felt exhausted by it all. However, Scott is a very honest man, does not cheat his customers, uses only trustworthy subs, and unfortunately these are in short supply and thus affected our experience. He was fair on price given the above problems. Would recommend SBB for projects that are already planned out to the very last detail, and expect to do a lot of the work ahead of time.

FAQs for treehouse building projects in Lake Of The Woods, 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.
