"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."

"We highly recommend Harry and Longton Construction for any project you may have. We found Harry at the worst possible time: our house had flooded and we had already signed with a contractor who drug us along for 6 months doing "mold remediation" and took all the profitable work from the insurance company and left us with a gutted house. Harry embraced our massive project quickly (full remodel, including 3 level, 3.5 baths, full kitchen, and an above garage addition). He kept to his word and met with us when scheduled, was flexible, and had good communication. Most importantly, he does high quality work and is a person who stands behind quality and his reputation. He would redo work he felt was poor quality. After our project he came back and fixed a few minor issues quickly. 3 years later, we still keep in touch and he checks in to ensure the quality of his craftsmanship is up to our and his standards. Harry happily entertained all my crazy Pinterest ideas and last minute changes along the way. He was well organized with costs and change orders and very reasonable with payment terms. We are so thankful we found Longton Construction and would recommend him to anyone."

05/29/14 Mike was on time and did a superb job, carefully caulking 17 windows and doors. He made some minor siding repairs that were not part of his original quote and showed me some places we could have some work done to preserve our siding (which is at least 30 years old). I asked for an extra quote for that and I have scheduled the siding work for mid-June 2014. The quality of the work was exceptional, just like the last time I had work done by this company (07/28/12). I first met this company because I bought an Angie's List coupon. This time, there was so much work I wanted done I simply called and asked for the quote. I was very pleased.

"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."

FAQs for home building projects in Riverview, 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 pros and cons or advantages and disadvantages of building a new house include:

Pros:

  • It’s all new, so you should have several years before you need to pay for major repairs like a new roof. 

  • It’s under warranty, so many fixes within that warranty period should be covered.

  • You get to build the house to your specifications.

Cons:

  • You have to make a LOT of decisions.

  • You will almost certainly deal with building delays.

  • It can take a lot of work to stay within your budget.

  • Building can be more expensive than buying an existing house.

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. 

The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.

Hiring a contractor to build your home is a big commitment. So be sure to ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective home builder:

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

  • Do you have worker’s compensation?

  • How long have you worked with your subcontractors?

  • How do you handle garbage and waste disposal?

  • Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Do you give free estimates?

  • Do you offer design services?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • Can you provide at least three references?

  • Can I see some of the work you’ve done?
