Apr 4 to Albert: Brian and I discussed the brick pavers and we would like to reuse the ones we have. The sidewalk can be left if we do that. We do like the "Arebel' (sp) stone. Also, as far as pendent lights, we don't think we want any. We were thinking maybe holders for tiki torches on the posts. Also, lights on the fans. Thanks, (Albert assured us he would finalize his bid and get back to us before we went on vacation on 4/27 so we could get started on the project the 1st week of May.) From Albert Walker Apr 27 (9 days ago): I will not have things ready by Wednesday. Behind schedule. Also distracted with purchase of apartment building. Sorry From Albert Walker Apr 28 (8 days ago) Julie, I must apologize for the delays regarding your proposal. I feel I must withdraw from your project. I thank you for the opportunity, but at this point, I am too distracted. I don't think I have been able to give your project the time and focus necessary for excellence. I have many personal things going on, including purchasing, planning rehab, etc. of some apartment buildings. It may take me a couple of months to get myself back to a balanced equilibrium. If you choose to go with another contractor not only would I understand, I would be happy to look at your proposal to ensure that all details are covered and that your being taken care of fairly regarding concepts and cost. Once again, thank you, and I apologize. May 6 1:56 PM (0 minutes ago) to Albert: We just returned from vacation yesterday and I read your e-mail. If you recall, I called you initially beginning of March right after the last snow melted in order to get my outdoor kitchen area ready before summer. Now, one and a half months later and after 3 to 4 visits and reviewing design photos, you decide you can't do the project. To say we are frustrated would be kind. What a waste of time!

I called Brewster's Excavating on 3/17/15 based on the reviews from Angie's List. I talked to a woman in the office, but I don't recall her name. I told her I was interested in scheduling an appointment to discuss some work. I told her I wanted a professional to look at my yard and help me with some drainage problems. I also told her that I was interested in having a drain line from one of my sump pumps replaced (it was clogged or had collapse, not sure which). This was on a Tuesday shortly after lunch. I was told someone would get a hold of me after they got back to the office. When I did not hear from them by Friday (3/20/15) I went to their website and filled out a contact form. I indicated that I had called a few days earlier and had not heard from them so I wanted to leave my cell phone number for them to call. In this form I again explained the work I was interested in.
I received no call from Brewster's, so I called back on 3/26/15 in the afternoon. I talked to a woman in the office who sounded like the first woman I talked to, but can not be sure. I explained how I had been waiting for a call since the prior Tuesday, and that if they were too busy, they just needed to let me know. After re-explaining what type of work I was interested in having done, I was told that at this time, Brewster's was not doing any residential work. When I asked if they had anyone else they would recommend for the work, she told me they only had recommendations for other landscaping companies.
I again want to stress that Brewster's did no work for me, so I can not comment on their price, quality of work, or punctuality. The "F" for responsiveness is because they never contacted me at all after my initial call. All contact was initiated by me. The "D" for professionalism is because I feel they could have told me right away they do not do residential work. From the first call they were informed this was for my house. Even if they got real busy after my first call, it would have taken 2 minutes to return my call and say so.

Do not recommend. After using Herzog Kitchen and Bath for a successful kitchen remodel many years ago, we turned to them when it was time for a master bath remodel. Herzog was so off the mark with a design plan that we ended up hiring a designer outside of their company. At this point we...

FAQs for residential design projects in Mascoutah, IL
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.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
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.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
