"We hired RN Construction to help us renovate a very old house we purchased that had suffered major water damage from burst pipes the winter prior. I didn't know anything about RN Construction before finding him on Home Advisor and hiring him but I called a few of his references, which he gladly provided. I wish there had been a rewiew or 2 posted on Home Advisor as that would have increased my confidence coming into the project but Ron quickly earned my trust. I had a good gut feeling when I met him, and Ron always did exactly what he said he was going to do. Before the purchase Ron came with me to look at the property to assess the condition of the structure. We determined it was structurally sound and well worth the investment it would take to bring this house back to life. Ron, with the help of his recommended electrician and plumber all came to look at the house before we made an offer so that I could determine the likely cost of the renovation. Now it's a renovation and there were of course surprises and additional work we wanted done that bumped costs up but that is to be expected. A good rule of thumb is to take your estimate and multiply it by 1.5 with any project. This was no exception but when I do the math on the amount of hours and people on the crew who were here working hard every day, not to mention materials, I can tell you with confidence that we paid a very fair price for the work that was done. This was an older house built in 1742 with a lot of character that we wanted to preserve. My husband, 8 1/2 year old daugher, and I lived in the house while it was being renovated. If you have to spend 7 months of your life with a crew, I really can't imagine a better one to have around. They have a great camaraderie and are always courteous and helpful. Ron was always a phone call away whenever I needed him or had a question and was incredibly accomodating on all of our requests. The quality of work is top notch. Ron has decades of experience and has trained his crew well. Due to this being such an old house there were a lot of crooked floors and walls to deal with, which made this a complex project but looking around the house now you'd never know it suffered any damage at all. Ron and his crew really brought it back to its former glory and then some. We began the project in September of renovating this main house and also a guest house. Ron had estimated that we'd be done by late March or early April. It's March 31st and they are wrapping up the last few details here. My two pieces of advice are 1) if you're extremely fussy about materials (as I am) then do be sure to work with Ron to pick them out. And 2) treat Ron and his crew with respect. They deserve it and will return it. We feel very lucky to have found RN Construction. They will remain our goto crew for any future projects."

"NE Renovations is a general contractor whose network of contractors provided services to me as I was getting ready to sell the house.  The electrical service went very well with Mr. Martucci doing great work and advising me about things that did not need to be done.  I feel that he was a great advisor!
The flooring in the basement also went very well with the NE folks advising me about the best way to approach the installation.  Everything was perfect when they left.  I truly appreciated their workmanship.

"I'm hesitant to say how awesome Shapiro Construction is because I would not mind keeping them all to myself. But they helped me so much, I want to give others the chance to choose their services. First, Mr. Shapiro is incredibly talented in all the things! Carpentry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, all of it, and he knows Code. I hired him for 1 project and then immediately hired him for 3 more! Bring him your weird problems, the jobs other people botched, the stuff you aren't even sure is possible. He will find a way to make it happen, and the work will be structurally sound (he made my old 1850s house stronger than it was before!), with a beautiful aesthetic. Moreover, he will clean up his work area at the end of every day. He is a good communicator, and shows up on the days he says he will! Reliable, talented, a good listener, and eager to involve the client in all the decisions--I give Shapiro Construction my highest recommendation. They will not be your lowest bid, but they are well worth it. The other guys who bid lower are the ones who use shoddy materials, leave the jobs half finished, and then don't come back again or return your calls for weeks. Mr. Shapiro gives clear timeliness. Pay a little more for the quality work and the better service of Shapiro Construction. It will be worth it for a headache-free job working with someone who collaborates with you and responds to the individual quirks of your house, and guarantees a beautiful finished product. I know my house represents a better long-term investment because of the work done by Shapiro Construction."

"The first time we scheduled for the work to be done, no one showed up at the appointed time, and I consequently wrote a very bad review. Both Jennifer and Brian emailed me and apologized profusely and asked for another chance. They had a new person in the office who did not inform clients of transmission problems that would keep him from work.
We were able to reschedule, and Brian and his assistant did a fine job. The mosquito curtains were new for them, so installation may have taken a bit longer, but they got the job done and done well."

"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."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

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.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.
