"This is the second time we’ve used Nick and his crew for flooring. Nick was very flexible from the start. My wife and I both work full time and we have young school aged kids so meeting with a contractor during regular business hours was nearly impossible to accomplish. On several occasions before we even officially began the project, Nick came over late after the kids were already in bed to discuss our plans and ideas for what we wanted done and to offer his opinions. We have always been impressed with Nick that he is not pushy or overly “salesy”, we definitely did not feel pressured to start the project until we were ready and convinced it was what we wanted to do. We had about 1,000 sq ft of flooring replaced this time around and it was very nice knowing that Nick and his crew were very conscious about the fact that we have young children and treated our house like their own and made sure there was nothing left that they could have injured themselves on. Heck, they even let our dog out and played with him a little bit each day because he’s not normally in his crate all day. The floors came out beautifully, we are so happy with the finished results. While it was not a cheap project, I believe the labor charged on top of the materials was very fair. I would highly recommend anyone use Nick’s Tile and More because you can truly tell they take pride in their work and care about the customer more than the paycheck."

"I hired Ensure Services to remodel one of my bathrooms. Ensure was a pleasure to work with, keeping me up to date on the progress of the project. I would definitely consider hiring them again in the future as they completed the work in an efficient amount of time with keen attention to detail. Definitely will be recommending to friends and family who are looking to get some remodeling work done."

"Todd was polite, friendly, and customer oriented. He did a small job for me installing a sun sail over my deck. He was open to suggestions and had an aim to please attitude. I will keep his number handy for future projects."

"48Jewel Construction and remodeling had to gut and redo my fathers entire bathroom.  The floor was rotted out due to poor seal on the toilet and over years of not being fixed.  They put a sub flooring down and a new tiles down.  They also installed all new plumbing, fixtures and tub, toilet and sink finishing with fresh paint and new lighting.  What a wonderful job they did.  My father was very pleased with the work.
"
Jewel construction gutted two existing bathrooms Dow to the studs and plumbed the complete back section of the home with new waste lines and supply lines. Continued to do the same with electrical and heating and cooling.. After all tough work was completed we boarded the room and finished it with beautiful wains coating tile and rain heads and steam generator in the shower.

"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.

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.

The International Code Council (ICC) offers guidelines for home builders on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

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.
