However, his designer, Jennifer -- (who actually met with us first to discuss our wants and needs, and then was to design a room based on our wishes) -- was very unimpressive. The first draft of the room plan was pretty bad, and did not incorporate much of anything we wanted. The second set was somewhat better, but still lacking. Mr. Coussins attended the second meeting with Jennifer, and he appeared very knowledgeable and committed. He had several really good ideas, and if what we wanted was not feasible, his rationale while telling us was very well thought out and believable. We did not use him because his services were very pricey. However, we still have not received a final draft of the plans we paid Jennifer to draw up for us. It seems she did not care to finalize them after we told her that Mr. Coussins was a bit too expensive for our budget. I do not feel that we received value for our money in this regard.

It turns out the valve was poorly designed by the manufacturer and Dyer had figured out how to modify and refurbish them. They replaced my valve with a modified one for a very nominal service charge. That's standing behind your service to an extraordinary extent. I would have paid them to...
Couldn't be happier with my new deck and 3 season room. Salesman warned me it might be a while, before they started on my deck, as they were super busy (good thing) so I had to wait to get it installed, but now that it's done it was totally worth it. I had other less expensive quotes, but...

FAQs for residential design projects in Michigan Center, MI
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.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
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.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
