"VKB far exceeded out expectations for our new kitchen design and installation; as well as, the resurfacing and stain/varnish to my existing floors and stairs. My wife and I are very pleased with the final outcome. Money was well spent. Base on our experience, I would not hesitate to recommend their services again. Jack and Suzanne McClinton."

"Great. John Krause was professional, timely and willing to provide advice, even when we weren't going to use him for a task. We do plan to have him back to install new gutters, under-floor insulation and, perhaps, raise the house by a foot. Highly recommended."

"First, I had a high pressure salesman from another town (I didn't realize that until the salesman left) talk me into signing a contract before he would leave.   I had no idea the sales talk would exceed 3 hours.  
The next day I had regrets and I looked up three local contractors and got through to two of them.   Supreme was the first firm I called and they answered the phone on the first ring.   They sent someone out two hours later to just look at the contract.   The representative assured me that I could do better than the estimate and that Supreme itself could better the estimate.    I told him that this time I was going to get three estimates, one of which would be his.    They had a special on shutters that was coming up so I scheduled Supreme's estimate last.
The other two competitors were good, but they too required a three hour session and I was getting really tired of discussing the pros and cons of vinyl windows that, quite frankly, all looked fine and were virtually indistinguishable.   What really concerned me, however, was that the two firms gave me virtually identical estimates and only after hearing about the initial estimate.   How does that happen with different firms selling different windows from different manufacturers?
At any rate, Al at Supreme came over and insisted that what we needed was composite windows given our neighborhood, appearance, etc.   They were a little more expensive but I was impressed that he "stuck to his guns" regarding what we really needed.   He gave us a good price and we signed the contract.   
As for installation, these guys were pros.   They had clearly worked together as a team for a while.  They were in and out within 5 hours, having replaced 22 windows and 12 or so outside shutters during that time.   I was surprised that the house didn't get appreciably colder as they removed old windows and they used dropcloths everywhere so they left no mess at all.   The windows are just beautiful and you can just feel the difference.    I'm sure our bill will look better as well although we have not received one yet.
I had a question the day of installation and Al returned my phone call immediately, checked with the manufacturer and called back right away, setting my concern to rest.
From start to finish, they were professional, attentive, and authoritative -- no calls to managers, tortured negotiations, pressured sales, etc.   They knew they had a good product and they sold it without taking 3 hours to demonstrate insulation with heat lamps!

"I called them the first thing in the morning.  Tech came within a few hours, and helped me get door to work temporarily while new panel was ordered.  He was very nice and helpful.  He came back with the part the next week and installed it quickly."

"Mr. Yoder started construction in November, approximately three weeks later than planned. This was due to his having been unexpectedly hospitalized with appendicitis. However, in that time he kept us completely informed as to his status and when he expected to start by calling us at least once a week. He also ensured all government paperwork and permits were obtained and this effort was part of the final bill.

The work went very smoothly, with some inevitable, though minor delays due to bad weather (it was November and December, after all). He cleard the foundation area and three-foot-deep holes for the main support posts, which were anchored with cement. He next put up all of the framing, siding, roof, etc. and installed the windows and doors.

Work such as laying the concrete for the floor, intalling gutters and downspouts and electrical work were handled by subcontractors, the price of which also was included in the final bill. Please note, the original asking price was about $19,000, but we requested some additions, such as wall insulation and installing a new sidewalk concurrent with the garage foundation, which added to the price.

The work began on Nov. 16, 2011, and was finished just before Christmas.

We have photographs of the work in progress and the finished garage available to be emailed to anyone interested in seeing Mr. Yoder's work."

"CRG Remodeling did an awesome job in the total gutting of our kitchen and the addition of a powder room in our home. We have an older 1920’s vintage home and there were a lot of unexpected surprises in terms of defects and hinderances that cropped up along the way. Cornelio took these on admirably as a challenge, always ensuring that quality remains the main factor. The end result included a beautifully designed kitchen with a pass-through to the dining room, new wood floor, installation of new appliances, tiling and lighting. We are grateful to Cornelio and recommend he and his company to those who may be considering remodeling work."

"They are awesome.  I had a specific request that they accommodated me.  They cut a larger hole for a large sink.  The faucets are nice and of good quality.  The faucets were a little pricey but were comparable to other faucets.  They came back multiple times to help me.  I put the cabinets together.  They gave me advise and we worked great together to make a great kitchen island.  The owner or a supervisor came to measure everything and we discussed options.  He was absolutely lovely.  I have a tiny window and I requested to make a little shelf of granite.  They brought a remnant of granite of what I wanted.  They went above and beyond."

"We had a horrendous situation with a basement floor installation that went wrong leaving our house full of fumes, and a week later we discovered our basement was contaminated by asbestos in the process.  When we called Bill and Contractors Unlimited, they were extremely responsive.  Although other companies gave us bids, Bill was able to work his schedule to fit us in weeks sooner than the others.  Although the cost was a bit more, that saved us money because we were displaced and could not even go into our house because of the fumes.  CU set up negative air machines to replace the air, they followed asbestos abatement laws, they cleaned every item that could be salvaged in our house.  They even saved more than we thought which really reduced our overall expense.  Bill and his team were extremely professional, friendly, helpful, and really went out of their way to ease our stress from this situation.  At the end of their process, Bill arranged for a air quality inspection which we happily passed - able to return home.  I would gladly recommend Contractors Unlimited for asbestos abatement.  I just wish we had called them before the floor guys  created such a disaster.  Thank you Bill!

"Replaced kitchen cabinets, installed new appliances and quartz countertops with tile backsplash, tore down and rebuilt attached family room, added island to kitchen, replaced flooring with hardwood and upgraded electrical in both rooms, new lighting in family room, refinished wood floors in all downstairs rooms, upgraded electrical service to 200A, ran new circuit to garage. Work began immediately after Thanksgiving and most work completed and appliances installed Dec 23rd just in time for holidays. Work was done quickly, efficiently and professionally, trash constantly removed, foreman was always available and immediately responsive during this time. We were required to purchase new appliances ourselves which they installed, which we preferred. 1/3 payment required upfront, 1/3 when work started and the remainder when work was substantially completed and rooms livable (their definition). The contract allowed 10% of that final payment to be held back until all work listed and priced in the contract was completed. Although that seemed to be a lot to pay before work was completed, I correctly believed they could be trusted to complete the work quickly and properly. When mistakes were made which occasionally happened (e.g. a light wouldn't turn off and the range hood wouldn't vent), they returned immediately to correct the problem. All the contractors and subcontractors were professional, polite and helpful."

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect. 

In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit. 

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.

An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design. 

If your project is complex, it may make sense to hire an architect to draw plans. An architect might also be a good person to hire if you want to ensure your plans adhere to building codes and regulations.

Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.
