"My wife talked me into going to a home improvement show at the beginning of the year. We had been trying to find a cement company to replace our walkway and driveway. They were crumbling and it was becoming a safety issue. We met Rob at the Rock Solid booth and talked about our options with him. He came out to our house and we decided to go with a stamped concrete walkway and a cement driveway with a matching stamped border. That company knows their stuff. We were delayed by the rain a few times, but I cannot tell you how impressed I am with how it came out. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Thanks to Rob and Katie in the office. They were great to work with."

"Jeremy was a lifesaver! I had extensive water damage in my bathroom that resulted in a hole in the floor. As a single mother, I was concerned for the safety of my children. The first few contractors I spoke to treated me like a number. Jeremy however, rearranged his schedule and came out the next morning! He was fair and honest in what work needed to be done. Other contractors quoted me for work that wasn’t necessary and without even looking at my floor! He brought me piece of mind in a stressful situation. I will trust him with all of my home repair needs from now on!"

"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 really well and I'm super stoked. Some of my ideas changed as we went through the quote and planning process and Charlie went along with my ideas and gave me feedback. My driveway and yard are exactly how I wanted them. I have an amazing tiered front porch, new side patio and steps, and expanded driveway on both sides. I'm super happy with the work and how everything turned out!"

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

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.

Remodeling a house is often less expensive than building a new house. You can expect to pay an average of $100 per square foot when you are remodeling. The cost to build a house averages about $150 per square foot. When remodeling, though, some rooms cost more than $100 per square foot and some cost less. Use a home renovation cost estimator to accurately estimate your remodeling costs.

It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes hiring a general contractor to build a house, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.

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.
