"It’s so nice when you find an electrician you can really trust. FC Electric has been out to my house multiple times, three of which were to research and fix problems with its very strange wiring. Everyone who has been out has been polite, courteous, and knowledgeable - they’ve always gotten the work done right the first time, and quickly too. They are the only electricians I call."

"I asked him to put on a mask and he didnt have one with him! He was not what I would call courteous. We have had great/excellent experiences with Graber Post many times, so we are going to chalk it up to this sales guy only this time. When I called to get the quote and explained who the guy was by mentioning the story of no mask, they put him on the phone and he was much more courteous!"

"We built our home in 2004, until you have to start replacing things on your home is when you find out the quality of work. 5 years in our A/C outdoor unit stopped working, when we got it fixed found out that what was installed was a refurbished unit not the new unit that was on our plans that we paid for. I did contact Hallmark homes at the time and only got that it was out of warranty and that we should have check when it was getting built. Who checks inside of an outdoor A/C unit. Next thing that happened was that the pipes froze in one of our bathrooms, when we took out the surround tub behind the tub were the duct work for the furnace was, actual trash was left inside the walls of our house. And we found no insulation between wall and the attic part of the garage, no wonder the pipes froze. This year we unfortunately got hit by a tornado with wind and hail damage to the outside of our house, yesterday they started pulling off the original siding and found there is no house wrap on our house! Not only that the OSB board have 1" to 2" gaps in them, you can see the inner drywall from between the gaps, meaning there is no insulation in the wall!! It now makes since over the past 19 years why our home has had so many drafts. We are now going to have to pay out of our pockets for the water damage caused by not having house wrap under the siding and fixing all the OSB board that are gapped. Unless you have time to be at you home while it is being built 24/7 do not contract with Hallmark Homes."

Family owned. Office locations in Indianapolis, Lafayette, Crown Point, Ft. Wayne, Muncie and Cincinnati, OH. Additional DBAs - Hays & Sons Construction Inc.

"Working with Hays and Sons was not a good experience. We had water damage and they made repairs without checking with our insurance company so we ended up paying out of pocket. They did a terrible job painting our ceiling and their solution was to paint one stripe at the top of each wall. Now we have to paint all the walls on the first floor ourselves. They initially charged us for over $2,000 of services they did not provide. I think they hope customers don't look carefully at the bills, especially if the insurance company is paying."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand. 

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build one from scratch. First of all, new construction mortgage interest rates are often higher than traditional loans. Also, when building a home, you're covering the cost of brand-new finishes, appliances, electrics, plumbing, utility hookups, and labor. Between the cost of labor and permits, building a home will often cost more in the long run.

The average size of a pool house is between 180 and 220 square feet. Small pool sheds may only be 25 to 50 square feet, while luxury pool houses you can use as a guest house can sit between 200 and 400 square feet. Consider what you’ll use the space for and how much of your yard it will take up when deciding on the right size for your project.

A guest house is not a bump-out addition. A bump-out addition is a small home addition built onto a preexisting room of your house, like a bay window or walk-in closet. While you can do a bump-out addition to a constructed guest house, a guest is not a bump-out addition. Other common bump-out additions are extra living room seating, space for a bathtub in a bathroom, and extra cupboard space in a kitchen.
