"PAV installed a new laminate Hardwood floor in our Master bedroom. He went to work the day after he was hired and finished the job in just 2 work days, in time for the house to be shown by Realtor the next day! The result was beautiful to behold and impressed the Buyer! PAV is very knowledgeable when it comes to Updates for Kitchen and Baths as well. WE followed the lead of Home Advisor and we're glad we did."
"We recently completed a gut reno and second story addition. After engaging 10 different contractors, MP was the most communicative, interested, flexible and competitively priced. MP has a large in-house team of experts that work efficiently and adapt to the home owner’s needs and preferences. The employees worked 6 days a week and took great pride in their work. They were personally invested in our project and wanted to make it the home of our dreams. The team includes an amazing designer, Nataly, who helped with selecting finishes. The onsite foreman, Adriano, demonstrated expertise and kindness. Seichelle and Marco did an excellent job with operations, ordering materials and problem-solving. We have been back in our home for 10 months. Anytime I have an issue, Seichelle and the team have addressed it. They have gone above and beyond what is expected. We could not be more pleased with our project. We strongly recommend MP for your next project!"
"I hired Victor to build a new house to specification and it came out great. The finishes were high quality and working with him was a breeze. I appreciated how organized he was and how he kept the project on schedule. Would very much recommend him to others and use him again."
"Konstantin has become our first call when we have any questions about our house. He personally came to our home and spent a few hours talking with me about possible solutions to the many problems our Cape Cod home had. In the end, the investment of time and money was substantial, but we could not be more happy with the end result: new windows, siding, roof, doors and an extensive interior architectural reconstruction that no one else wanted to touch. The entire Kreative Barnes team is professional, friendly, respectful and talented. Whoever is able to secure Konstantin's expertise will be very happy they did."
"Boris and his team did a nice job remodeling our condo in Brewster. He installed a vinyl plank floor, new lighting , heat, baseboards, doors and windows in our 3 bedroom unit. Always on top of project understanding our Timelines. Very fair pricing. Pleasure to work with. Tom C. Brewster"
"The fix involved more than expected and the owner was able to get parts. I also appreciated his call to say he was on his way. It was nice to have choices from Home Advisor. Nice guy!"
"Hired David Pierre, his crew and sub-contractors to install a new bathroom, remodel an existing bathroom, convert an attic to living space, install spray insulation, and rewire our 180 year old house in Plymouth, Ma. David impressed me with his professionalism and straight-forward approach, and I was not disappointed. Honest and committed to the end. Construction jobs always seem to take longer than expected, and this was true here, as well, but I think it is due to the nature of the business -- coordinating the schedules of several subs and dealing with unanticipated issues, especially when working on an old house. David juggled it all well. His core carpentry crew, Paul and Derek, were skilled, dedicated and responsive to requests. They kept the ball rolling forward. Good quality work at reasonable prices -- it would have cost me substantially more to use one of the larger home remodeling firms and I probably would get far less top-level attention."
"After months of searching for the right company to take on the renovation of our home, we decided to go with Imagine Building Solutions, and what a correct decision that was! From the beginning, the process was transparent and collaborative. The team listened to us attentively, captured our vision, and presented us with a design that exceeded our expectations. What really impressed us was the attention to detail and the teams commitment to keeping the project on budget and on schedule. They were meticulous, from the selection of materials to the final execution, ensuring everything was perfect. The project manager was always available to answer our questions and keep us informed about the progress. The quality of work done by Imagine Building Solutions is beyond question. Our home has been transformed into a space that is not only aesthetically beautiful but also functional and comfortable. The final project truly reflects our personal style and meets our daily needs. Beyond technical excellence, the customer service was exceptional. We felt that our opinions and concerns were always valued and considered. The team showed great professionalism and passion for what they do, which is reflected in the final outcome. We would recommend Imagine Building Solutions without hesitation to anyone looking for a seamless, professional, and highly satisfying building or renovation experience. Their expertise, dedication, and customer-centric approach make them stand out in the industry."
An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
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.
The average cost to build a modular home is around $270,000, and most modular homes total between $180,000 and $360,000. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:
Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling
Type of foundation
Utility connections
Cost of building permits
Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.
Historically, Tudor homes originally stemmed from the 15th and 16th centuries, while Victorians appeared during Queen Victoria's reign in the 19th century. The design and structural differences are significant as well. The many types of Victorian architecture—such as Italianate architecture—typically feature ornate trim, wood siding, wraparound porches, and tall towers on top, such as belvederes. On the other hand, Tudor-style homes feature white stucco exteriors with exposed wooden rafters marking the house frame both inside and out.
