"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."

"My wife and I own a home that was built in 1898. When we were soliciting bids for a LONG OVERDUE bathroom remodel, I had cast a pretty wide net on Angie's List trying to find a contractor with experience working with old homes, and someone I felt that we could trust. I found that contractor with Dunn Home Improvements.
Josh Dunn and his brother, Mike, began work on our bathroom renovation on a Monday morning. Upon entering the home, they laid down drop cloths and stair savers to keep from tracking in - and out - debris and general construction mess through the house. The demolition took a half day, and everything was carefully removed, and very meticulously cleaned. Color me impressed!
The rest of the project flew by, with Josh and Mike framing in the bathroom, running electric, plumbing, et cetera. The first week ended with leveling compound on the floor, set to cure and level out what was quite possibly the most un-even floor in our old home -- mission accomplished! The second week buttoned up with a beautiful tile job, painting, and installation of cabinets. We finally had a bathroom that we could be proud of. The transformation was complete!
I plan on keeping Josh and Mike on speed-dial for other projects for our home. Throughout the entire engagement, I felt not only informed, but empowered. The attention to detail is second-to-none, and I almost can't wait to start more renovation projects to work with Dunn Home Improvements again."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

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. 

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.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.
