"I needed most of the inside of my home painted, with the exception of one bedroom, which I had recently painted myself. I'm not young anymore and also didn't have the time to tackle such a large project. My house is huge and over 100 years old. I had the business card for Finish Master Painting and Refinishing in my wallet for the longest time...I don't even remember where I picked it up. I gave them a call and Claudio (the owner of the company) came over and gave a very reasonable estimate. He and his staff finished the painting job and also replaced five of my old, drafty windows in just a few days as promised. The workmanship was excellent! I thought I did such a professional job on the one bedroom I had painted, but when I saw their work, I realized that I'm just an amateur. And no more drafty windows! I couldn't be more pleased. One of the many things that impressed me was the minimal disruption. I think that was one of the reasons I put off having work done for so long. I expected a mess; people and things in the way, lots of noise. But that didn't happen. I was actually still able to comfortably live in my house while they transformed it. Hey, that's a pretty neat trick! They were like home construction magicians. I highly recommend Finish Master Painting and Refinishing, and won't hesitate to call them again should the need arise."

"I am a Realtor and have used many contractors in past projects on my properties and for my client's properties.  Found Scott at the TOP for Professionalism, Reasonable pricing, Finishing on time and most of all QUALITY. Our Insurance required higher porches on our 3 Family and we were left with a very tight time frame. Scott chose to use white against our light gray vinyl siding that matched our window and post trims making the added height a border that blends in and is now just part of the original house.  Work is superb and above and beyond the result expected.  Finished work added style to our property which always helps property value."

"We ran into an "oh crap" situation during the Holiday.  My husband planned to install an exterior door.  This is something he had done before at our other house.  We encountered numerous unexpected things such as having the vinyl siding screwed into the door frame!  The 2 hour job had become a 4 hour job and to make matters worst my husband was called into work.  I was left home alone with a door partially installed.  I searched Angies' list and made a few calls.  Being a Holiday I wasn't sure if I'd reach a person or not.  Mr. Conway called me back and explained that he was currently on job but would call me later in the day to see if how I was making out.  In the mean time a relative of a friend offered to stop by and complete the job for us. But as promised Mr. Conway called once he was done with his scheduled job.    He offered to stop by and secure the door to at least get us through the night and then he could stop by in the morning.   But as we were talking my friend's brother in-law arrived and began working on the door.  When I explained what was happening Mr. Conway told me to give him a call if we ran into trouble and he would stop by to secure the door for the night. 
His professionalism and concern meant a lot to us.  We are planning on doing some more work this spring and Mr. Conway is the one we'll be calling first!!!!

"Platinum Carpentry was great to work with. The owner Dean is a very nice guy and easy to work with. The quality of his work is outstanding. We were out of town when the project was scheduled to start and Dean kept us updated on the progress and a few delays that were encountered due to weather, etc. We are very pleased with how the deck turned out and we would not hesitate to hire Dean and his crew again for future projects."

"Bill and his team were nothing short of outstanding. Excellent communicator and overall nicest, honest  professional you can meet. From Day 1, Bill was 100% customer service-oriented and ethical. However, the completed  work was also of quality workmanship. He managed the project with multiple partners and always made it seem like he was doing it all himself. We were very challenged finding a suitable contractor for this home as this project was very challenging, but Bill made it easy. Outstanding!!

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes hiring a general contractor to build a house, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.

Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.

In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.
