"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."

"Added closed cell spray foam between joists to air seal and insulate, and filled remaining space with fiberglass, and replaced the plywood on the joists in the crawlspace. I had got estimates from 3 companies to compare, I thought theirs was the most thorough solution for the price. I wanted air sealing and a high R value. Estimated a one and a half day job, workers were VERY courteous and professional. They were prompt and hard workers. Answered all my questions and concerns. They worked till dark but the job would need a few hours the next day to finish. There wasn't much room in the crawlspace so it was a tough job. I inspected the nearly finished work. And the crew returned the next morning and worked during a downpour to get it done. My wife paid them that morning. What impressed me most was how they handled a problem I had when I inspected the final part of the work a few days later. I was not satisfied at how the final three pieces of plywood were installed and met the support beam. I'll chalk it up to miscommunication of my expectations. I emailed the support email that night. The next morning the co-owner called me, said he'd get it fixed to my satisfaction. They had a crew back out in a few days and did a great job installing it as I wanted. I was very impressed how they stood behind their work."

"The entire experience with Josh Dunn and his team went extremely well. I had another contractor over to look at the space, and his estimate was 30k, he really had no good ideas for what to do with the originally awkward layout, and he advised that I should move my two kids (ages 1 and 4) out of the upstairs during the remodel. Josh walked in and immediately envisioned what to do with the space and came in with a lower estimate. He and Mike worked meticulously, controlled dust, and cleaned up every afternoon before they left. They did any and all sawing and tile-cutting outside. My baby took naps in the basement, but both my kids slept at night in their own beds in their rooms, and I never worried about dust. Josh and Mike are polite and professional, keep you informed of the process, and are also very good at what they do. No drywall seam is visible, no tile is crooked, and the paint job is extremely clean. Our remodel was extensive enough that we needed city (Richmond Heights) permits, and that required that separate electricians and plumbers do that work and that everything (electrical, plumbing, building) be inspected two times. All of that slowed things down, but Josh and Mike communicated so well and kept everything so neat that I had no complaints. They also subcontracted out to workers who were as nice and professional as they are. I will have Dunn Home Improvements do any home remodeling project, large or small, that arises in the future."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between $20,000 and $50,000 on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it’s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for $3,000, while others cost upwards of $150,000.

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.

While it’s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.
