"The whole experience was wonderful! Calvin Lee came to our home to measure the space and provided exactly what we asked for as our remodel design. Jason and his crew worked very hard to complete our kitchen as quickly as possible while doing excellent work. Christian always answered question and addressed concerns as the process went on. Jason followed up each evening to let us know what would happen next. They arrived on time each day worked full days. We got all new cabinets, flooring, countertops, lighting and paint. We couldn’t be happier with our new beautiful kitchen!"

"American Home Contractors did an amazing job on 2 projects in my home that not only make the house beautiful, but also will save me money in the long run. James did a great job of providing me with the necessary options and information to make an informed decision about my purchase of new windows and new door. He was very communicative and professional, providing a detailed estimate...which other companies I received quotes from for the same project failed to do. I knew exactly what I would be getting and exactly how much each part of the project would cost. I had such a great sales experience with James, I decided to have them replace my gutters as well. The work was done quickly and looks fantastic. I'm very pleased. When it came time to replace my windows and door, both James (sales) and David (installer) called me to let me know my parts arrived and scheduled a convenient time to complete the project. David's team came in early and worked extremely efficiently to complete the project in a matter of hours. They were very clean to the point you would not have known there was work being performed on my home just a matter of hours previously. I will continue to recommend this company to anyone who asks."
"I hired Romeo's Home Solutions to demolish an old wood shed and erect a metal shed. They arrived on time and began to work immediately. It turned out I ordered the wrong size shed. Romeo's crew went above and beyond to dig a larger foundation for the new shed. I highly recommend their services."
"I’m an individual who is familiar with real estate and home projects, having done many myself, and this is a true story and honest review for which I did not receive ANY incentive or compensation to write. I was selling a home in Oella, and during its structural inspection a few of the old, 1926 wooden floor joists were found to need replacement. I had interviewed a few different builders and decided to employ Persky Custom Builders. The owner, Josh, returned my call very soon after I had made it, and our appointment to see the issue was made for the following day (Checked box - Prompt and responsive.) Josh discussed how he would be able to not only support the structure, but actually replace some pieces - something which the other builders felt was too difficult to do (Checked box - Knowledgeable with expert skills). There was no sales pressure; Josh was forthright and personable (Checked box - Someone I felt comfortable with). Josh provided me the quote for the work within a couple of days, and the cost was reasonable. It was a slight bit higher than the other quotes, but then again, he was offering me a more complex technical solution which I wanted (Checked box - The price was right). The work was started within a few days and completed within a week (Checked box – Efficient; stayed with project and finishes it). I was very pleased with the results; what I thought was going to be impossible, was made possible (Checked box – Great work quality). The work site was left tidy and clean, and Josh came to meet with me to examine the final results, be sure everything was addressed, and I that was pleased (Checked box – Customer service was beyond my expectations). I have to give Persky Custom Builders an A+. They checked ALL my boxes for what I needed and wanted for this renovation project. I was tickled pink when the work was completed in a reasonable time frame and with attention to quality. It's not easy finding a contractor who is prompt and reliable and meets high work standards. Thank you so much, Josh, for taking such stress off my shoulders. I would hire you again in a heartbeat! "
"Due to a previous job running longer than planned, our 3-day job had to be rescheduled. As it turned out, that was more convenient for us, anyway. I only mention it to remind folks that this sort of thing can happen.
The first day, they sucked out the old insulation. That seemed to go pretty well, but I did notice that several pockets of the old stuff were left in place, here and there. Maybe it could have been done a bit better.
Day 2 was foam sealing of the tops and bottoms of the walls. This was done by a subcontractor, who arrived saying that they didn't understand the job they were supposed to do. A call to AC&R resulted in a visit from their "Foam Superintendent" within an hour and everything was straightened out. Since there is a fair amount of set-up time for the foaming operation, no time was lost in waiting for the superintendent. The difficulty was chalked up to a difference in terminology between the two companies. Presumably, they now speak the same language.
Day 3 was blowing in the new insulation, along with the installation of some contraptions between the rafters to allow the eave vents to continue to breathe through all the fluff, and some batt-style insulation over all the catwalk areas in the attic.
Each day, when they left, the place was relatively clean, except for a few bits of insulation fluff in the hallway, under the attic access hatch. No real problem, there.
We've only had one night with our new insulation, but the house does seem more comfortable. This operation took us from having about 3-4 inches of matted 70-year-old mineral wool to 19 inches of nice new fluffy fiberglass. We are expecting a significant decrease in climate control costs, along with increased comfort."
"J. Scott Design's speed of completing a job, their high quality of work, the ability to listen to the customer and truly hearing what they wanted, and a great price was what helped my husband and I to choose them to build our shed. We love our new shed and can't wait to unburden our garage and basement and place those items in an orderly fashion in our new barn style shed. It is a beautiful structure that makes us so happy! Tommy and his crew did a terrific job! We will choose J. Scott Design for other major projects that may come in the future for our home. We have recommended the company to our neighbors and friends."
"Clarence is one of the best contractors I have ever used. He was professional, honest with great integrity, and did all he could to ensure I was completely satisfied with the work that was performed. Santos hung the siding and was prompt, courteous and thorough. He set up and cleaned up to my complete satisfaction and was a very friendly, enjoyable person to speak with and work with. The gutter guys made some great suggestions and installed the new gutters even better than what was originally there. As an extra, Home Pro offered to install all new lighting around the house to help complete the "brand new" appearance. I bought the fixtures and they installed them at no extra cost. Clarence personally came back to troubleshoot and correct one of the light fixtures that wasn't working correctly. Without reservation, I strongly endorse Clarence, Santos, and the Home Pro company. A fairly large job was completed for a very reasonable price, with pride in workmanship, and uncommonly great customer service. Five stars! "
A construction-to-permanent loan is the most common type of mortgage used to finance a house teardown and rebuild. These loans include financing for construction costs and convert to a long-term mortgage once construction is complete. Check the terms of the loan closely before beginning work—there are often restrictions requiring you to use licensed contractors for all work.
Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction.
Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.
Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.
Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they’re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior.
