WE WILL BEAT ALL COMPETITORS PRICING. We are a Residential and Commercial Drafting Service. We design blueprints for new home builds or existing home renovation projects, room additions, finishing basements and more. We can design blueprints for residential or commercial projects such as new home builds, apartment complex, office buildings and existing home projects and more.

"Dan appeared to be easy to work with when I hired him to create a home blueprint for my retirement home. I can't read blueprints but the floor plan looked like what I wanted. I accepted the blueprints thinking it was exactly what I wanted. The builder estimate was about $70,000 higher than what I expected. After discussing it with the builder, I realized the draftsman had inserted his own personal ideas into the blueprint. I had stressed the need to build a very simple, modest home. I contacted Dan and he stated he added his choices if he had no choice from me. He said he would make changes but would charge me $240. After disagreeing with the charge, he replied saying he dropped me as a client and would not be finishing the blueprint so I am stuck with an $1800 set of useless blueprints."

Hello there! We are a local company specializing in roofing, siding, deck's, privacy fences, exterior painting, and additions. We also bid on commercial projects upon as requested.

"I had my basement finished by Armando and his crew. The first red flag was the "proposal". It wasn't a typical quote. It had a low range and a high range, with no way of knowing exactly what the final cost would be (the high range estimate of $15-16k was actually wound up to be more than $25,000- HUGE difference!). Then, it took a full two months to finish due to promises like, "We'll be there tomorrow", or "We'll finish it up by New Years'", or "We'll be there this weekend", or it might have rained, the truck broke down, or any number of excuses, but rarely did I get a call saying, "We won't be there after all". I can't count the number of times I rearranged my day or weekend only to have no one show up at all. The customer service was horrendous. So was the spin-doctoring. So, was the work done well? Well, yes- despite the excuses, I'm thrilled with most of the work. It's the last thing that was the final straw. I had two barn doors installed between the mud room and the basement entertainment area. Love the doors, hate the way they were installed. The crew screwed two boards as a guide which looked horrible, and one of the (new) doors was warped toward the bottom and when they were closed, there was a significant gap between the two at the bottom. This was spin-doctored to me as my floor isn't level. That may be, but the door is also warped, but okay. Then maybe take this into consideration or do the right thing and select another door? After paying him the remainder, I asked him to come back and fix the issue. I ordered two doors with 5 sets of metal guides so the strips of wood (a trip hazard, as they run more than the entire width of the opening) could be removed. Armando said he would pick them up and be here the following weekend. Never showed. Of course. A two man crew arrived the following Thursday with the doors and the guide. They took one door out and decided they couldn't cut them down because I had chosen a style with glass panels. My ceilings in the basement are less than 84", so they needed to be trimmed down. As with a few other things, we suspect they just didn't want to do it, as my son-in-law explained to them how it could be done. They were here for about 8 hours (I was told it would be one hour, but okay). They seemed to have problems figuring out how to use the guides effectively. The head crewman told me it was because not only was my floor slightly sloped, but one of the doors was warped (as I had told them over and over). So they decided on another tack. They left for several hours and when I went downstairs, there they were with a plank of wood. I had no idea they were going to cut it larger than the existing wood strip! smh So now the issue is even bigger, even worse than before. Problem 1- for some inexplicable reason, they chose red oak for the new strips and what might as well have been a red stain. My floors are a rustic mix of light/dark grays and browns with some cream. Awesome floor. I was told the color would tone down when it dried. Nope. Never happened. The strips are red. They'll stay red unless they're sanded down and re-stained (or removed and something else properly installed). What were they thinking??? Problem 2- instead of filling all the screw holes in the flooring (the previous screws were drilled into concrete like the new ones) with a matching putty, there are putty colored holes all over the floor between these two strips of wood. This will necessitate replacing some flooring. Which I don't have. When the floor was installed, they took away whatever planks were left over. Problem 3- instead of filling the holes in the wood and wiping off the excess putty, it looks like they smeared it on and just slapped stain on top. So now of course I have these hideous areas that look like a child went wild with a paintbrush and Silly Putty. I checked the color of these wood strips every day waiting for the miracle that was supposed to occur where the red stain would magically lighten up and somehow those crazy putty spots would darken. Never happened. It's red. Some areas are shiny, some are light, but the color is red. Will I go back to Armando yet again? Nope. Never again. I'd rather have back to back colonoscopies every day for a month. Between the excuses, the spin-doctoring, the no-shows and the inability to correct their mistakes properly, I don't know how the company stays in business."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

Modular homes are more affordable than stick-built homes if you keep quality and square footage equal. The cost to build a home averages $323,000, while average modular home prices sit at {AvgCost}. If you’re looking for custom or luxury options, a traditional custom home costs $825,000, while a high-end modular home costs $600,000, on average.

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.

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.
