"Lance and his crew did a wonderful job on our screened-in porch. They were professional, curtious, and true craftsmen. The screened-in porch was extremely well constructed and the project was completed in a timely manner. We have received several compliments from our neighbors and relatives on the wonderful new addition. We would highly recommend Exterior Dynamics! Thanks again, Lance!"

"This was our second job with AES (the first being a full kitchen remodel), so we knew how it would go - awesome! Everything with AES is first class. Our Sales Rep Jeff quickly scheduled our estimate, and communicated promptly throughout - including stopping by to inspect the work after complete. Jeff is extremely helpful, and just a real pleasure to work with. Our builders - Steve and son - were just master craftsmen. Prompt, friendly, polite, and attentive. Also very patient with my pickiness - he came back multiple times to address minor issues with caulk/aluminum expanding once it got warmer in the summer. And I'm happy to report that the job is now more than perfect. Our original builder poorly installed our threshold in 2001. After years of rainstorms, the wood was thoroughly rotted. In similar disrepair was our Lowes-installed storm door. AES replaced our door with a high-quality replacement, repaired and re-mediated the faulty threshold, and wrapped the entire project in aluminum to keep it extra dry. Now when it rains I can enjoy the coziness, vs. stressing over the water coming in. Thanks again for a stellar project!"

"We had an amazing experience with John Krause Construction. We originally called them because our basement kept getting water in it every time it rained. While they were at our house for the basement waterproofing estimate we had them take a look at our deck and kitchen just to get an idea of the pricing. Once we received the estimate we decided to move forward with all of the work because we were able to get a great deal for doing all of the projects at the same time. We are beyond satisfied with the results and will definitely call them again for any future projects."

"This company is wonderful. The project manager, Jason, and his crew were amazing. They turned a tiny bathroom and tiny room into a large, gorgeous, elegant bathroom. I used this company for two other bathroom remodels. Be sure you get Jason if you want a professional and efficient team."

"Everything about Dimitri's company is the absolute best. Dimitri and his sons and employees are very knowledgeable, hard-working, respectful and they did a fabulous job with my bathroom. This bathroom had been previously gutted by someone else so everything in there had to be done. New plumbing and electrics had to be installed as well as new tiles on the floor and on the walls. They put in a new shower, toilet and vanity -and now I have the most gorgeous bathroom, I love it. The men always arrived when they said they would; they are very friendly and kind as well as being courteous. This is a family business and Dimitri and his sons all work together, to get the job done. These guys are truly professionals. Dimitri, his sons and family have a wide knowledge of renovations and a wide range of skills. As a result of their great work in my home, I also asked them to install two custom storm doors, back and front and now I am getting a quote for a new deck and covered porch. I trust Dimitri's company to do a great job no matter what it is - a complete renovation or a small job and as such I highly recommend the company. These guys are my heroes!!"

"We had a great experience with BST Design & Build. The project was scoped out, started on time and took about 5 weeks which was in the estimated 4-6 week schedule. During the project, questions were answered and the onsite team was very responsive to our wishes, even being creative to ensure our needs were addressed. We couldn’t have been happier with the onsite project lead, Abi. The site was keep clean each day and the end result looks great!"

Customers say: Quality work

"We cannot say enough good things about Elevate Design and Build! We extended our kitchen with a bump-out and added an additional bedroom over it on the 2nd floor. We also turned our previous dining room into an office and redid all of the door and window framing. It was a fairly extensive job. Jim did a fabulous job with the design and incorporated everything we wanted (that was within our budget). I've never worked with a designer and the whole experience was so much fun! We were intially worried about the hallway flow with the new upstairs room, but we LOVE how that turned out. The whole interior was thoughtfully designed and looks beautiful. We love our new kitchen space and 6 months after its completion I still get excited when I walk into the new space. We were also so pleased with the exterior addition design. It looks so cool and we now love the exterior of our home. The little design touches had a big impact. The craftsmanship of the project was top notch. Wes led the charge here and every one of their employees and contractors were extremely skilled and professional. Everything was done in a timely manner and looks perfect. It was also very evident to us that they hire based on both skill and character. Everyone was extremely nice and felt like a friend. With young kids it was so nice to feel comfortable with the contractors who were in and out of our home. Communication was excellent, which was also very important to us. We always knew what was happening and Wes and Jim were always available to answer any questions we had. Everything was clear and there were no big surprises- aside from the inevitable things that arise with a major project like this. Even then, Wes and Jim were always conscientious of our budget and worked with us to come up with various solutions. I also liked how Wes on the ground here and was flexible with our project. If I had an idea or slightly different direction I wanted to head in, he would brainstorm with me on realistic options. It is clear that Wes and Jim are equally invested in beautifully finished projects AND happy clients. We would without a doubt recommend this company! We had the best experience and absolutely love our new home! Thank you Wes and Jim!"

"I bought a home built before 1978 and found that there was some asbestos floor tile in the basement. I reached out to D&H Demolition and they immediately came out to take a look at the project and provided a free estimate. They were very helpful and answered all my questions which made me feel a lot safer about the situation. I hired them and they took care of the work the very next day! Overall I was very pleased with their price and quality of work. Highly recommend!"

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

While a log cabin is often less expensive to build than a typical home, cabins actually have a similar cost per square foot. The main difference affecting price is that log cabins tend to be much smaller than traditional homes. For instance, many cabins are about 500 square feet, versus a traditional house which averages between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet.

Technically, there isn't a difference between safe rooms and storm shelters. Both are designed to protect you from storms and extreme weather events. People often use “safe room” when discussing a shelter inside a building and storm shelter when talking about a detached unit. 

Additionally, a safe room is understood to have more functions than a storm shelter. You may seek shelter in a safe room when you believe an intruder is in the home or when under another type of threat. 

The national average cost for a building permit is around $1,600, a figure that typically includes major renovations. Costs can vary significantly depending on the job. For instance, basic construction, plumbing, or minor electrical permits can cost between $10 and $150, while permits for building a new home can reach $2,000 or more. Overall, homeowners typically spend between $150 and $2,000 for one or more permits for a project. Keep in mind that fees may not be flat rates; they can also be calculated as a percentage of the project's cost or size.

Prefabricated storm shelters can be assembled in four to eight hours. On the other hand, the time it takes to install a custom shelter can vary by days or weeks, depending on the builder's timeline and material availability. Bigger, more complicated, and customized shelters will take longer to complete than standard and prefab shelters.

Yes, particularly handy DIYers can build their own storm shelter, especially when using a prefabricated kit and an existing space. However, it is a large project that can take several weeks, requiring significant manual labor and heavy equipment. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often recommended. You should always leave certain jobs to a pro, such as installing an underground shelter, projects requiring site excavation, or any custom-designed structures. These types of builds are complex, labor-intensive, and can cost more in the long run if not executed properly.
