133 I wanted to get my basement walls repaired before the winter hit because they had cracks in them. I called around to a few other Masonry companies. One of them told me I should tear down the walls and start new. The others were all out of my price range. So, I was talking to a friend of mine...
Santoro Tile & Masonry LLCEveryone was very professional and skilled. The owners did a great job of scheduling all of the different tradesmen and materials when needed. The carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and flooring installers were hard working and highly skilled. I know I never would have been able to pull...
Impressive BasementsThe contractor took the two days he said it would take to dig up 25 feet of concrete basement floor and replace an old corroded cast iron pipe. They did 10 feet at a time and then put in a camera to see if they could stop. The guys that came over were professional and got the job done. ...
Cregger Plumbing, Heating & CoolingProfessional throughout the process and even after, gave me advice on what to do and not do to treat snow and ice without damaging concrete. Given that, it was still relatively new. NOTE: I have some experience with concrete and I kept a close watch on how everything was done. Very satisfied!

"Critical: Professionalism, Value I called Omega to check out smoke transfer between flues. Al quoted flue top dampers at $900 each and cleanings at $300 each. He said he would need to schedule a day to do the work. Thinking this must be an extensive project, I bought it. Ten days later I finally was called to say they would come that afternoon to do it. After the cleaning they glued dampers to the tops of the flues and were done in about 45 minutes. Al defended his $750/hour labor rate and double cleaning rate, saying it was due to his "high overhead" costs that I didn't understand. I still don't understand. Omega Construction is aptly named, they are the last one you should think of calling. They apparently only maintain their good BBB rating because the BBB doesn't consider "pricing issues" or "buyer's remorse" in their calculations. BBB is basically another way to advertise."

The work crew arrived on time and got to work right away. Additional subbase was required due to the fact that there was not enough existing for the width of the drive and the under lying soil conditions, this was an additional charge,but this possibility was already discussed earlier. The job price was reasonable and my Neighbor (A retired concrete and ashalt contractor) said "Not Bad"."

"We talked with several asphalt companies before we went with this one. We absolutely love the work that Asphalt Express did for us. We live in the woods & have a 1000ft driveway that winds by a pond, up a hill, past our barn, & ends up in a circular drive in front of the house. It's been dirt & gravel for years & keeps getting harder to maintain & fill in the pot holes. Debbie, from Asphalt Express, explained that they could do millings on the drive through the woods & then asphalt from the barn to the house. Everything was explained thoroughly, they worked with us budget wise, & even checked back with us a couple of times after the project was done to make sure we were happy & see if we had any questions. The owner & his crew were so nice & wanted to make sure they worked around my rocks in the driveway to my satisfaction. They did a great, slightly sloping, apron at the barn, too. This team was so professional & did everything possible to protect our yard from their equipment while they were here working. They were done in one day & we couldn't be happier. The millings get harder the more you drive on them & it really doesn't take away from the beauty of our "woodsy" drive. We would highly reccommend this company!"

We were only going to pave one part of our large driveway, but they gave us a great deal to do the whole thing and we were so confident based on their professionalism that we went for it.

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.
Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.
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.
Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from $6 to $14 per square foot. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. Removal of existing concrete, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.
