"Good people and great work with the re-mulching of our property. Very conscientious. They trenched around the entire house, used quality mulch, and made the home look better than the work done three years ago where we had paid nearly twice the price to another company."

"I had several significant issues with my home that required a lot of work both inside and outside to address. Nu Look Home Service was tremendously helpful through all steps of the process. All their staff were professional, friendly, accessible, patient, and generous with their time to explain to me what they were going to, how they were going to do it, and why. Their workmanship and attention to detail was phenomenal."

"The owner Mr. Eisele returned my call promptly and actually came by the next day for the estimates.  He was most helpful as we were replacing a sidewalk that had drainage problems and gave several suggestions to help fix the problem.  He also helped design the new sidewalk which surrounds a condo mailbox area. 

Once the bid was in, which we considered reasonable, they came out within a week and did the work.  As it turned out the project was much more difficult than anticipated and the company actually ended up with 4-6 workers here for one and half days on and off.  It was also very hot.  So the price really ended up a bargain.

We ended up with several small additional projects concerning the drainage issue and the owner was most accommodating even going himself to the hardware to purchase the extra materials needed. 

The end result is wonderful.  I cannot remember working with a more professional crew and it was obvious that Mr. Eisele is a great guy as well as an expert in the field.  It was a very enjoyable experience and would hire them again."

"It went great! Charles was easy to get a hold of and was able to get me scheduled right away. Both the owner and his helper were very knowledgable and creative when it came to troubleshooting my projects. He helped me fix a door that wasn't shutting properly and he also helped me with my hardwood flooring project. They helped me find a solution that was not only simple but saved me money too. Charles also had a lot of creative ideas for other projects around my home which I appreciate and is something you don't see everyday in a contractor. They were very personable and won't hesitate to use them again in the future. I highly recommed Charles and his team. They were awesome!

"Fritz was great to work with from start to finish! He was punctual, and extremely flexible with our moving-target schedule based on a whole house remodel. The finished product is just as described and anticipated. People actually comment on how good it looks - they offer a variety of base paint colors and then you can add colored chips in various combinations. We love the retro look!"

"Room addition; Greg was responsive and resolved all issues raised. Greg is professional and respectful. I only gave a quality rating of B because I felt that the crew needed a little more closer oversight, I suggested this to Greg and he was receptive. The work was completed promptly, and I will definitely consider Greg for my future projects.

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.
