"Could not ask for better service. The company did exactly what and when they said they would. They kept me informed thru the whole process. Jim and Glen are expert craftsmen, take pride in their work and are very pleasant gentlemen. The whole process went great from start to finish. I highly recommend this company and their staff."
"I had some siding repair work that needed to be done. Mike and his crew did a great job. I would definitely recommend them to for any siding project."
"Have been working with Mike for years. Has helped with all types of home projects, from remodeling, to landscaping, to painting, to odds and ends around the house. He does great work. Mike is honest and hardworking. Can’t go wrong giving him a try."
"Awesome experience with Wyatt’s HVAC and home solutions. My HVAC unit was over 10 years old and not cooling properly David diagnosed the problem and recommended a new 2.5 ton 15 seer unit, the price was very reasonable compared to others folks I got quotes from. He replaced my system within 2 days of me signing up with him. He was timely and very courteous, I recommend his service would not call anyone else for HVAC needs."
"First of all these men are extremely friendly! One of the most efficient crews I’ve ever witnessed! I’ll be hiring these guys for every job for here on out. All around good people and excellent work! I’m so happy with the work they’ve done. A true home improvement!"
"This was an outstanding experience from my perspective. The estimate process went smoothly, and David was very upfront about how he/his company does business. The final price came in according to the estimate, and I appreciate that he gave me real estimate numbers, versus lower numbers that would inflate through the course of the project. David, Ric, Ben and Cole did a great job throughout the project. I felt comfortable with them in my house, whether I was in the house or not. The initial demo of the guest bath began Oct 26, 2012. All the major work for both the guest bath and main bath was completed by Dec 16, 2012. Final touch-ups were completed on Dec 26, 2012. David was extremely responsive via phone/email during the project (where I was away much of the time). I had several questions along the way and he was always polite in answering them. I also have an attention to detail that can be annoying to others, and again, David, Ric, Ben and Cole were polite/responsive when I asked questions or pointed out minor concerns. I have a smaller home with a single-car driveway, and Ethos worked around that by hauling away demo trash/debris every night. They set up their workshop in the garage. Also, they cleaned up the worksites every day (except near the end of the project, when I suggested that they didn't need to in order to save time). There were a couple of days where I didn't see progress, but after a quick phone call to David, he would be able to explain all the "behind the scenes" work that had occurred, and it made sense to me. The guys worked both Saturday and Sunday (Dec 15 and Dec 16) in order for me to be ready for guests on Christmas. Hindsight being 20/20, I wouldn't schedule a remodel this close to the holidays again. It was stressful having the house in disarray, trying to prepare for Christmas/wrap presents/bake, clean, etc. etc. with remodeling going on. However, David said they would complete the work in 3 weeks, and by working through the last weekend, they did complete the work in that timeframe. I highly recommend Ethos and will work with them again. They were honest, cared about the work they performed, communicated well, and treated me (and all my questions) with courtesy and respect. Plus they have great senses of humor (a must, in my world). Also, I think that the project facts speak for themselves - 2 bathroom remodels in 3 weeks on budget. What more could a client ask for? "
"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging. Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs. "
The cost to draw house plans typically ranges from $800 to $2,700, with standard blueprints averaging around $1,800. For a custom home, the cost is higher, with blueprints often falling between $5,000 and $20,000, and potentially more for very complex designs. Several factors influence the total price, including the project's size, the number of rooms, the type of drawings required, and the architect's experience level. You may also need to pay a structural engineer to ensure building safety, particularly for custom homes.
Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
The process involves initial consultation, concept development, detailed planning, regulatory approvals, and integration of contractor work for project execution.
Building permits serve a few purposes, the most important of which is to keep you and the people around you safe by ensuring your contractor does work safely and to code. Permits also help your municipality tax your property appropriately, as taxes are based on land improvements and the upgrades you make to your home. Finally, permits ensure your project won’t have a negative impact on the environment or your neighbors.
Custom homes can take an average of 18 months to build, mainly due to the lengthy design process, and most projects take somewhere between 12 and 24 months. When you work with the right custom home builders near you, they can help you map the road ahead and understand what can speed up or delay the timeline. Choosing locally available materials, for example, can speed things up without losing that customized touch.
