"Terbrock's team showed up on time and did the work professionally and carefully -- like it was their own personal home improvement project. At the end of the day, Tom Terbrock himself showed up to make sure everything went well. The price for the work, including removal of existing fixtures, installation, and clean-up, was more than reasonable."

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"From the beginning of my project in January 2024, I have never regretted my decision to choose Ethos Building Group LLc. Jeh Johnson and his partner Tracy Herod have worked diligently to execute the itemized proposal that began this project to rehab, restore, and rebuild my home at 607 Wilmington ave. St. Louis MO 63111. An incredible number of tradesmen and tradeswomen have done their individual tasks all on a schedule professionally overseen by Jeh. These liscensed and masters of their trades worked alongside Jeh who if necessary stepped in and aided e these individuals. His overall expertise has brought my home to this point. One must keep in mind that a burnout like my home is an unusal job for Ethos Buildig Group LLc to accept. Yet at every stage my home has been given the same careful and thorough attention as their larger jobs. And despite some push back with my insurance company every thing has proceeded smoothly and orderly manner given the inevitable supply chain delays. Jeh Johnson is an affable young man who has facilitated all phases my prject and has even taken time to educate me on all the intricacies involved in a project such as mine. I cannot think of any single word to describe my experience with Ethos Building Group LLc but the forgoing will have to suffice. Thanks you for your kind attention. Stay safe and make a point of telling those who you find dear just what they mean to you."

"Joe arrived right on time, asked what I wanted done, went to buy the materials, returned, and got right to work. Everything was installed quickly, neatly and professionally. He cleaned up everything and all the jobs he did look very nice! I will most likely compile another list in the future and use Freeman Custom Builders & Handyman again.
I purchased 8 hrs./$399.

"We dealt with Tom Earle. It was not as good as we have liked, but it was good enough. I did not think that they were working half hours. All of the contractors worked similarly. They come in about 9 o’clock and leave at 3:04 everyday. There were only few exceptions when we started to complain. Then, in the beginning they had a couple of people here. Sometimes it had been three, and then many days, they used to have one person. When we asked them what happened, they said they were working on other jobs too. So, it is a small company, but then I guess they just want to have as many contracts as possible so at times they were spread kind of thin. That prolonged the construction project. It took longer than originally planned. The pricing was pretty good. I saw a couple of other contractors, and theirs came out pretty good. I am not exactly sure about the quality of their work because it is hard for me to compare someone else because we have not had such a large project, but I came to believe that there were situations where the quality could have been better because we asked them to redo a few things. So, of course after we started to pay more attention and complain about their quality then they kind of put more time into it or give it more attention. It is not something that I would consider automatic. It is okay. I am going to do the best I can. It seemed like if you do not complain, then, they will get away with whatever they could possibly get away with. That is the way I see it. I felt that maybe all the other contractors are not like this. I think there are exceptions. They do the best they can and there are also others who can do better, but they do not seem to do so unless you start complaining about it. They are a little bit like that. I thought they did finish okay. They were pretty good in listening to our needs and so with regards to responsiveness, they are pretty good. When you start talking about the allocation of resources and things like this, we were competing with his other projects. I do not know if responsiveness included that or not because the whole project stood up more than a month, even more than the hundred day week. We had previously worked with a smaller scale contractor and he would come here at the earliest as he could. He asked us when he could come in, and he told us that if he could come at 7:30 that that would be better. So, we told him to come at 8. A lot of times he would stay and work until like 5 or 6 until we need to eat dinner. A lot of times he would also come in on weekends on work. For Good Neighbors, they are definitely not like that. They would come in around 9 o’clock sometimes even later or until we ask where they are. The project has been delayed and they did not come in. Maybe they have longer drives that they had to do and they leave early too. A couple times, when we really complained a lot, then they brought some people in over the weekend. Those guys came in voluntarily to work I guess because they were pretty conscientious. They are subcontractors to Good Neighbors. When we started complaining, they came in over a few times over the weekend just to catch up. If that is the hours, they would say they were punctual because they were showing up at time they were suppose to show up, but from our perspective, I go to work at 8 in the morning and come home at 5; you are not doing the same. They were pretty professional. I would have to say that in all situations that they handled themselves pretty professionally. What we have to do is that if we are going to use them in the future, we really have to manage them which I do not think that we should need to do quite to the detail of our level that I think we need to do. They are professional in working on the project, getting the details, and telling us what is going on. Those type of situations, but we would definitely want to enforce the amount of time. If they say they could finish this in eight weeks, then we would expect them to get done in eight weeks and not 50% longer. We would have to manage it from a time perspective a lot closer. If that is the case, I would reuse them. I think from their perspective, they are putting themselves in this situation purposely because they need to have the work like okay I have finished one place; I do not want to have a slack time. I just want to work and work all the time. In order to do that, they accept projects which may overlap. When they started ours, they were actually finishing up on the other one. Then, something happened with the other project that they could not finish because of late deliver or something was not delivered as expected or they had to return it. Things like this. When they were supposed to start on ours full-time, they were not able to do that because they were still working on this other project. When I look at their point of view to manage your business, they have to do that, but then the customer would suffer like us. They need to hire more people. I guess they trust the people they work with. They do not have to watch over them. I think they work with their subcontractors and other people. They do have their own people but not many, one or two. The subcontractors that they hire, I think they trust them because they have special skills that they do not have. They come and do the work. Their relationship with their contractors that I do not know if they can just hire based on their need at the time and then let the people go when they are able to handle. I think they do not want temporary help. They want to have a long-term relationship with their contractors. I empathize with them because I understand the situation they are in, but at the same time, we are their customers. We are selfish about our own project. So, we want complete attention from them which they are not able to give us.   "

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Builder-grade is one of two types of stock cabinets, whereas semi-custom designs allow homeowners some control over the color, finish, or hardware on their cabinets. Stock cabinets are sold in construction-grade and builder-grade designs. Construction-grade cabinets are usually made from inexpensive medium-density fiberboard, which is prone to moisture damage, whereas builder-grade models are a step up with higher-quality materials. Construction-grade designs are the most common type of cabinets in America.

Modular homes are a type of prefab home. Specifically, manufacturers first build modular homes in sections and then deliver them to the job site. The modules, or sections, are usually at least 70% finished before they arrive on your property.

In comparison, prefab homes arrive in panels or segments, and workers assemble them on-site. Generally speaking, modular homes tend to be more durable, and their consistent construction standards may mean you’ll have an easier time getting conventional home loans.

A construction-to-permanent loan is the most common type of mortgage used to finance a house teardown and rebuild. These loans include financing for construction costs and convert to a long-term mortgage once construction is complete. Check the terms of the loan closely before beginning work—there are often restrictions requiring you to use licensed contractors for all work.

Yes, modular homes offer a wide range of customization options for layout, finishes, and features.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.
