The water abatement wall was not in Dan's wheelhouse and ended up not working at all, so we weren't able to get the lower cracks fixed. Dan poured us a very nice cap to the seawall and widened it so that it could be walked on. He also created a notch for our pier to be mounted in. He was able to fix a couple of heavily damaged spots above the water line and one significant crack in the seawall. The problem is with the cracks that he wasn't able to fix. Those cracks propagated up into the new cap almost immediately which is unfortunate. Overall, Dan has extremely good pricing and his flatwork looks excellent. I'm disappointed that the repairs didn't take place when the water level was low enough because it diminishes what would be an otherwise beautiful job. The quality mark is really a B+ or an A-, but Angie's List doesn't allow those. We have patio and driveway work that we will definitely have Dan do when the time comes, so this overall B review isn't really as negative as it might seem. I think dealing with the water was probably too much for Dan, but everything else is fine. I would recommend Molnar Construction for your concrete work.

We purchased all of the fixtures ahead of time (stool, sink, tile, faucet, lights etc) so these were already on site. The work was concluded on schedule and the finished bathroom was very nice. 15 months later, we noticed the downstairs bathroom ceiling was soft and wet to the touch. Also noted that there were water marks on the side walls of the downstairs bathroom. As luck would have it, the contractor was building a sun room for me and was on site. I mentioned that "I think we have a leak coming from the upstairs bathroom". His remark was that he could take a look and perhaps save me a plumbing bill. Three days went by and he never got around to checking for the leak - so I cut a 18x16 piece of ceiling out of the downstairs bathroom and the ceiling drywall was covered in mold. Indicating that the leak had been there for a while. The dry wall was very moist. I called a plumber the next day and after looking at the cooper pipes that the contractor had put in for the newly remodeled bathroom he found that 2 of the joints were not soldered. Indicating that water had been dripping since completion - 15 months earlier. I then found out that the contractor was not a licensed plumber and should have never performed the task of putting in new pipes. The plumber corrected the issue and notified the city plumbing inspector. 5 days later we found another leak - it too had more than likely been there since the remodel. I called the contractor and requested that he call me back so that we could get the new leak fixed - to this day (5 weeks) he has never called back. I have since had to have the entire shower floor ripped up along with the 2 inches of concrete, the mortar, rubber membrane and first layer of wall tiles. The new contractor found several mistakes in the original work and is now in the process of correcting them. The cost of correcting this mistake is now an additional 3 thousand dollars. I notified my attorney in hopes of having the original contractor be made responsible for the cost of the repairs. We then learned that the contractor was in the process of repaying a suit that was brought by a local lumber yard and it could be years before we we able to get any reimbursement. The city plumbing inspector came several days later to take pictures of the work and was very apologetic for the trouble we encountered. He reiterated to me that the contractor has no plumbing license and should never have been allowed to perform remodeling activity that involved plumbing or electrical work. The contractor who performed the original work is very talented and I was very happy with the visible work - it is the work I could not see until it was too late that I am dissatisfied with - along with his inability to followup and 'do the right thing'

So we contacted Jeff Pokryfke of Appletree Development in our hometown of Minooka. Jeff came right out to look over the site and called a day or so later with his estimate. Because our yard is sloped and sometimes collects water in the area we wanted the shed, he recommended a concrete foundation. Although the estimate was a bit more than we had planned on, when we considered that it included exactly the size and height we wanted, all the labor and materials,as well as the concrete, it really did seem reasonable (especially compared to what we had seen at the stores. We went ahead and Jeff build a 10 x 8 shed with 10 ft high walls, a gambrel roof with a window, double doors, and the concrete foundation, finished with fiberboard siding, cedar trim, and a shingled roof. It looks great! He also put in a large upper storage area. We were very impressed with the quality of the work, his timeliness in completing it, and his communication at each point in construction. Additionally, I really like how he thoroughly cleaned up the worksite - no stray nails, boards, trash, etc. left behind. We will definitely be calling him again when we are ready to remodel our two bathrooms.

We contracted with Dan at the end of September 2013 to perform repairs to our seawall. Our lake fluctuates in height significantly during the year and we wanted the repairs done in the fall because the lake was low. In fact, in October of that year, the seawall was exposed all the way down...

FAQs for treehouse building projects in Mattoon, 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.
