In spite of this, I chose Lowe's because I believed they would provide the best project management services which was important to me since I live over 250 miles away from the home I was having renovated. The project service associates at Lowe's were very friendly but there were many issues with their attention to detail: deadlines and appointments were missed; there were errors in the product ordered; design changes were made without our approval; and all of this resulted in a 6 week appeal to correct a design mishap. Ultimately, Lowe's offered to pay for the labor ($1,700) in correcting the mishap and I agreed to pay for the materials ($200) which I did only because I needed to wrap up this project. So a simple project that should not have taken more than 2 weeks to complete took 3 months and the premium price I paid for the superior project management services I believed Lowe's would provide were for not. I would not use this Lowe's project design services again.

He showed us some sample stamp designs and color choices. We picked what we wanted and he gave us an estimate. They came back, dug out and framed the new sidewalk. The concrete was delivered and poured. It was leveled and then stamped. Then a few days later it was cut and sealed. We loved it. That was in May. In August I noticed a crack all the way across the sidewalk, plus some minor cracks throughout. I called Jim and he came out to look at it. At first he said that was just the nature of concrete - it cracks. I pointed out to him a section of new concrete in our driveway that was about 2 years old and still looked like the day it was poured - perfect. Then he said that the sidewalk was cut in the wrong direction and that was why it cracked. He said he would come out in a couple of weeks and patch the crack that ran all the way across the sidewalk. About a month after he came out, now remember he said he'd be back to repair the crack in about 2 weeks - the sealer started coming off. So now we have a cracked sidewalk with light colored blotches on it. It's now December and we haven't heard from him since August. Nope, don't think we'll be calling him for any more concrete work. Oh, by the way, he was recommend to me by Michel Concrete Inc. in Springfield, IL. I had called Michel Concrete from their reviews here on Angie's List.

"We ordered a window from them the end of April. The beginning of June they came to put the window in. They had ordered the wrong size.

They were on time and worked until the job was finished. Their work quality and concern to get the work done correctly was top drawer.

FAQs for residential design projects in Rochester, 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.
