"Originally I had a different contractor lined up to do this work.  At that contractor's request I purchased an 8 ft slider in pieces to be assembled rather than as a module (already put together).  My original contractor delayed and delayed so I hired A few good tradesmen to come in and do it instead.  They did a great job.
First Brian came over to look at the door and give me an estimate for the work.  He was running late but called to let me know and to make sure it would still be a good time to come.  The quote was higher than what my original contractor was going to charge but I liked Brian and just wanted the door installed so I went with it.  I feel like I got my money's worth.  
Brian's guy, Sam came on Saturday morning to do the work and was right on time.  As I mentioned, the door was in pieces and needed to be assembled and installed.  Generally a sliding door comes pre-assembled as a "module".  I had a couple of other contractors come to look at the door.  They both said they had never seen one like this before and they never got back to me with a quote... Right away Sam told me that he had done a lot of sliders but never one that required assembly like this before.  He took the time to study the installation instructions and figured out how to install the door correctly.  
On the non-operating side of the slider, A deck railing post butts right up to the seam between the wall and the new slider.  Normally this seam would be sealed with silicone.  Because of the way the post butts up to it, it's impossible to get the silicone in there.  Instead of just hoping I wouldn't notice (which I probably would not have), Sam showed me the problem and explained that he put a lot of silicone in-between the wall and the door so it should still be water tight.  I appreciated his honesty, which is rare in my experience (especially with contractors).  
Whenever I need anything done on my home I will definitely be calling these guys first.  I've already asked them to come back to replace a window for me.  I highly recommend them.

"Brad and his dad were great. They were always at the job on time. They kept me informed each day during the entire project. They are certainly experts with old houses and were happy to explain what they were doing and why. I would certainly have them back when we replace the front doors if we find the sill is rotted. Great guys. Great job."

"It went very well. He's a one-man installation machine, but also was able to get my beautiful old wooden windows into operable condition. Prior to that many would not open, and the weights and strings disabled. Total cost of both jobs (done at different times) was reasonable and not as much as many estimates. Great guy, on time, says what he's going to do."

"Brian came by to do an estimate on my roof.  He was real quick and didn't really care about explanations and showing me things. He quickly snapped a few photos of the inside of my attic roof, and had a book full of things. I asked if he'd like to sit in the dining room to show me these, and he was like "nah, it'll be quick". Did his speech and left. I inquired about a few other things and overall the experience was okay. I deduct points as I never heard from the guy again, so I went with a different roofer for my project.
It's odd that I never heard from them, because they called me every day for months, even after I told them I didn't own the house yet as they got my information from something I filled out when getting a mortgage. Nearly everyday they called... I got harassed constantly, then once I finally was looking to get work done, I never heard anything.
About 45 days later I got a call from someone who said he was the owner and wanted to come out and give me a discount off the quote I originally received. I never called back. 
They had a decent price compared to some of the other quotes I received, and would possibly consider calling them again when I get some windows replaced.

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they’re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior. 

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

How long it takes to build a custom home or rebuild a home after a disaster varies depending on many factors, but averages between seven and 14 months. Smaller homes or homes that don’t need a re-poured foundation may take less time to build than larger homes or homes without an existing foundation. Material availability, contractor schedules, and permit and inspection timelines can all affect how long your house takes to build.

Custom homes can take an average of 18 months to build, mainly due to the lengthy design process, and most projects take somewhere between 12 and 24 months. When you work with the right custom home builders near you, they can help you map the road ahead and understand what can speed up or delay the timeline. Choosing locally available materials, for example, can speed things up without losing that customized touch.
