1.2k+ My partner and I were first time home buyers and wanted to build a new home. We did not want a production builder, as we know they cut corners because they have to build so many homes a year to make a profit. Because of this we decided to build a custom home. After a bit of research, we chose...
Custom HomesExcellent, beautiful job! Showed up when expected, worked hard and carefully, finished quickly and fulfilled a special request, They cleaned up so well that we only found a handful of lost nails in the yard - and the thousands of old ones were aluminum their magnets wouldn't pick up! The...

Jim Vail took the time to get to know how I wanted to use my backyard and delivered a detailed proposal with a beautiful and creative design.

I am extremely satisfied with the work that was done. Black Bear Builders was able to get it done in a very timely fashion, at a fair price, and the work was top notch. Black Bear Builders is always my first choice when having any kind of work done on my house.
Black Bear BuildersBuck Bros did an outstanding job. Much effort was put in to making our new room feel like it had always been there. Every detail matched our existing home, inside & out, Ron, the carpenter, was an “artist” who put great care into building. Joe, our project manager, was always willing to come...
BUCK BROTHERS CONSTRUCTIONThough I did not use the services of Applewood Construction I had to comment on how helpful, patient and professional they were from beginning to end. Because of legal issues we were not able to follow through with the construction project that we envisioned but Lenny was very...

I fully respect Whole Builders, their thoroughness, and their understanding of people, construction, and how the two interact. The architect plans were clear, accurate, creative, and completed in a friendly, professional manner. We would have hired them to complete the project, but some...
From the first meeting we had with Jorj regarding our house we knew he was the builder we were going to choose. We contacted about five custom builders and Jorj was the only one who truly seemed excited about building the house we had in mind. The design that Aspen came up with was exactly...

I help homeowners design and plan their remodeling project using my 25 years of experience in residential remodeling. Please check out many samples of my work at Houzz and my website. I create beautiful photo realistic images of their project completed with all their personal selections on finishes, plus complete architectural drawings for bidding, getting building permits and guiding construction. I put homeowners in charge of their remodeling projects by creating a very detailed plan so multiple contractors can bid on the same project so you can compare bids apples to apples.
"Bruce has done 2 projects for me. Both turned out great. He had great insight for the space, was prompt in making an appointment and in responses, and very reasonable in price. I would highly recommend Bruce."

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
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.
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.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
