563 We had an old deck that needed a whole new face lift. To our surprise Zack from Mid Atlantic was able to start the project by the next week and we were shocked at how fast they got it done. Pabloâ s is a master at building and his workmanship was done with perfection. We would highly...
Mid Atlantic RemodelAmazing installation of good quality pavers. I made changes in the middle and they happily accommodated my changes. The patio turned out amazing. They were also very fast and thorough and did a great job. Hire them if you want something done and you will not regret it. Looking at the quality...
Comfort builders did a fantastic job! They took my Vision and brought it to life. My basement was literally a dirt floor and now it’s a functional living space. For any home remodeling I highly recommend comfort builders, for professional, efficient, and timely work.
Comfort Builders LLCThis team was absolutely amazing! The team arrived promptly with everything they would need for the build and worked tirelessly for 6 hours until it was completely assembled. My kids are thrilled, and so are we! I would hire them again in a second! Best money we could have spent! There is no...
Swingset ManMy experience with BC Bassford was horrible, they put my project behind schedule by 8-10 weeks and were very unreliable and failed to show or honor their commitments on a regular basis. The crew would routinely stash their trash inside the block walls as they were building, and even urinated...
Winston and his crew at L & L BUILDING BLOCKS LLC did what a few other contractors told me would nearly impossible. They built an addition onto my house where a half bath was, and turned it into a full bath with a washer and dryer in it. Winston and his crew are very patient, and will work...
We went to Oak Tree Furniture to find a replacement piece for our existing Ethan Allen wall unit ensemble to accommodate a larger TV. After explaining our intentions with Joe, who we later learned was the owner, he explained that Oak Tree could custom build the piece for us to match the...

"We had our master and hall baths completely gutted and rebuilt. We bid the project out to several companies, and DMV was immediately the most helpful. Pricing was very competitive. Luis and the team completed both bathrooms in about 6 weeks - and this was a full demo. The crew was extremely kind and courteous, and worked hard to minimize the mess and impact to our home. One weekend we had a party, and they helped make our home look like there wasn’t a major project in-progress! Craftsmanship was impeccable. The tile work in particular is beautiful - details I hadn’t even thought of were done for me. Like any job, we had some changes to scope (our choice), and some minor hiccups. They were extremely helpful navigating through scope changes, and more than fair on pricing. And on the minor hiccups, they made it extra clear that the job wouldn’t be wrapped until we were satisfied - and that’s what happened. Honestly this experience was a 10 out of 10, and I hope we can have them out for another project soon. Our bathrooms went from blight to bling in 6 weeks - I look forward to getting ready now!"

"This company went above and beyond for my wife and me. We wanted a balcony with steps but we had an HOA to go through.

His two workers showed up each day even on the weekend to get the job finished in a timely manner. The 2 man crew did a phenomenal job with keeping my lawn as nice as they could and even replaced the dirt and bricks they had to dig up for the posts.

"Our place had good bones but didn’t work for our daily life. Every room felt cut off from the next. Ben and Teddy from Top Remodeling sat with us and came up with a better layout without changing the size of the home. They moved the hallway, opened the living area, and added a custom touch in almost every room. They rebuilt the inside from the studs and used solid-core doors and clean finishes. We went with soft white walls, bronze handles, and natural maple cabinets. Now, it all feels open and calm. Every room has a purpose."

Eugene stopped by frequently to ensure everything was on track and accommodated my suggestions for minor tweaks throughout the process. I very much recommend them and will use them for future remodeling."

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average.

Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
