"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

"The project went incredibly well.  The focus was a quality, appropriate renovation/addition on a 1930's federal house in Ann Arbor.  An architect was hired to design an appropriate renewal and replacement inside and out.  It was important that the builder could handle the scale and detail.  We couldn't be happier with the results.
In retrospect I am sure that there is no way that we could have renovated to this standard at this cost with any other builder.  Pete was the perfect choice for our project.  I am veryspecific about the level of quality and detail that I expect and Pete meets my requirements every time.  He does it with a cheerful problem solving attitude that is uncommon in the building trades.  Pete, and any of his co-workers, are a pleasure to have around the house.  He is dependable and extremely honest.
I know that Pete bids large jobs and small jobs.  That makes him somewhat unique as a contractor.  I am sure he brings the same level of workmanship to jobs much smaller than ours. I am equally sure he can manage a big project when contracted to do so.  My main take away is that high quality work at fair prices is rare in the construction field.  Pete’s company occupies a hard to find niche."

"The company did not call me in the time frame specified when the coupon was purchased.  They did call me the following week.  The fellow came out and attempted to fix the downspout which was leaking from the top connector at the roof level.  He patched it and said if it didn't work he would come back to fix it. He said that it probably needed to be replaced.  I asked him what that might cost and he gave me a price.  After he left we had a heavy rain and the spout was leaking worse, sending water against the house and upstairs window.  I called the company and they said they would give the fellow a message.  I never got a return call so I am not sure if they gave him the message. I found the repairman's cell number in my phone and called him directly.  He came over immediately and replaced the spout.  He found it also had a clog in the bend.  He couldn't remember the price he quoted me and didn't seem like he was happy with the price I said he had told me, but he accepted it.   
When the project was finished it was fine.  However, I did pay for the coupon and the gutter was not properly repaired.  Then I paid an additional cost when he replaced the gutter and that was charged beyond the coupon deal.

"I originally consulted Angie's List to find someone to replace two old and decrepit gate post lights at my home. I decided to go with Lombardo Restoration when I noticed the coupon to replace up to ten wall outlets for $349. My home was built in 1946 and has gone through numerous slap-dash facelifts which left many of the outlets painted over and virtually unusable, so I thought I'd take advantage of the offer. My first online contact with LR was very positive and reassuring, and when Len and his co-worker appeared at my home they both proved friendly, outgoing, and energetic. I quickly learned that these guys know their business and work hard to get a job done right. They went through the electrical work like a knife through butter. Nothing slowed them down. When I talked to Len about rebuilding the gate posts he stated that the job would be a little costly because it would be time consuming. But the cost he quoted me was far below what I expected, and I told him to go ahead. After they'd been at it for well over five hours I became a little concerned about cost, knowing what the hourly price for two workers could be, but when they were all finished after well over eight hours everything, including all the wall outlets, came to a mere $850.
Leonard's a big and friendly young guy who likes to talk, and I admit that upon first encountering him I thought he was primarily the salesman for LR. But I quickly learned that he knows his trades. Both he and his co-worker are highly skilled and motivated workers who are very familiar with older houses such as my own, presumably from years of experience working with homes in Detroit.
Leonard's business approach may be somewhat more informal than many other contractors, particularly those involved largely with insurance claims. There were no contracts to sign or itemized receipts. I'd tell him what I wanted, he'd give me a projected cost, and he'd make good on the estimated price. This is largely contrary to what homeowners are told they should do when dealing with contractors. But Lombardo Restoration has proven to me to be a skilled and trustworthy outfit. I'm willing to take Len at his word, because I believe that if he doesn't do the job completely to my satisfaction he'd take steps to fix it within a reasonable cost. I highly recommend this contractor.

"They showed up early and asked if they could go ahead and get started.  They did my roof in one day.  They cleaned up extremely well.  They guaranteed their work.  Made sure all the nails were picked up.  Had put tarp all around the house.  Removed all lawn ornaments and put them all back when they are done.  Did all the extras not necessarily asked for - went the extra mile that we really appreciated.  Their crew was absolutely wonderful, cordial.  Any questions we had they answered.  Brian, the Sales Manager, came out everyday to keep watch.  The experience was fabulous.  The owner even came out to see how things were going.  They worked with our insurance company and went over the house with them.  It would be a wonderful world if all companies had this work ethic.  I recommended them to my neighbors and 3 of them hired them."

"The crew that came out was very professional and cleaned up after themselves. They only tore off a portion of the roof that could be replaced that day so we didn't have to worry about tarps. It took a few days but they were very careful and considerate of the house and landscaping. We had some issues with the roof looking like it was buckling in places and the owner was quick to come out and check it out. He said the shingles needed to settle in and heat up good before they will lay completely flat, I was skeptical about that answer but he said if they don't lay flat then they will tear it off and do it again. Sure enough, they did lay flat by the end of summer and everything looks fine now.

Home Building questions, answered by experts

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:

  • Location of your home and the living cost in the area

  • Type of foundation and framing you choose

  • Quality of the building materials

  • Footprint and layout of the house

  • Number of stories

  • Builder’s experience

Yes, modular homes offer a wide range of customization options for layout, finishes, and features.

Historically, Tudor homes originally stemmed from the 15th and 16th centuries, while Victorians appeared during Queen Victoria's reign in the 19th century. The design and structural differences are significant as well. The many types of Victorian architecture—such as Italianate architecture—typically feature ornate trim, wood siding, wraparound porches, and tall towers on top, such as belvederes. On the other hand, Tudor-style homes feature white stucco exteriors with exposed wooden rafters marking the house frame both inside and out.
