42 Brad did all the plumbing in our new build. He was thorough and came in under everyone elseâ s bid. We were difficult at times with deciding what we wanted but he was patient and walked us through all options. I would definitely recommend him.

Dave is meticulous, professional , and a gifted Master Carpenter. He keeps the finances simple (you pick out everything before you start so you know where you will end up). He is not the fastest builder around, but if you want a home that you will cherish, have him build it for you!
Quality of work and professionalism are excellent. They are staining and varnishing interior doors and trim too and have been very helpful with ideas to improve the rooms. They always check to make sure that they're doing things as per our spec and have even stayed during the evening to try...
I absolutely love the deck that Shon Johnson of Xtreme Builders built for us at our lake home. He listened to my vision and was able to put my dream into reality. Thank you Shon!!! My family members have been so impressed that they have called Xtreme Builders to give them estimates on...
Xtreme Builders of Brainerd, Inc.They came very quickly and got the job done. He did a couple of other things that make the door work better. He explained things on what could and should be done. They put in springs that exceeded the builder's quality. It was a very positive experience. I have recommended him to other people.

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.
