"M2 Drafting & Design were outstanding to work with. They exhibited professionalism, patience, and quality with every phase of my small, but important, project. Both Mark and Mike went out of their way to help make my project a success. I was able to get approval from my city to move forward with my home addition almost immediately after submitting the documentation they provided to me. The price was extremely reasonable for the value received. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a drafting project and will certainly use them again if I need architectural design work. Thank you so much for your assistance and concern."

"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 are very happy with the work Good Neighbors did remodeling our small decades-old kitchen. As part of the remodel we had them install double pocket doors in a supporting wall between the kitchen and an adjoining bedroom. We also had them incorporate most of a hall closet into the kitchen space. With these two changes they were able to comfortably add an island and more than double our counter space.  All the work except plumbing and electrical was done by the very competent and trustworthy crew of Chris and Caleb, who answered all of our questions and gave very helpful advice and generally kept the workspace clean. The quality of work is good to excellent. Tom, one of the owners, came up with a wonderful layout for the wall tile.
    The sub-contractor doing the small amount of plumbing was very good. The electrical work included replacing the main panel, running all new electric lines, and installing both "can" lights and pendant lights. This subcontractor did excellent work and correctly diagnosed a line problem on Ameren's end that had plagued us with dimming lights for years when we ran appliances--this was fixed for free after they called. Unfortunately the electricians worked evenings and weekends with almost no advance notice; we were told by Good Neighbors that this was not their usual contractor. Regardless, everything turned out great and all inspections were passed with no problems. 
    How the project progressed: After a quick initial visit from Steve (the other owner), he brought in Joanne Conley from Henry Plumbing (also listed on Angie's list) who did the actual kitchen design and helped us select all the materials and cabinets. Her attention to detail was amazing, and she immediately noted one hidden problem (easily solved) that neither Steve nor us had noticed. We definitely give her an "A". Joanne then referred us to the appliance company. She contracted the countertop installer. After that Tom, Chris, and Caleb took over, with us making sure to "touch base" every day or two.
    The project was completed within budget and ran about two weeks over the projected six weeks. Besides a couple snow days, most of the delay was due to us deciding to change the location of the island and its overhead pendant lights well into the remodel (and after the ceiling had been painted). The fact that Good Neighbors would do this for us so late in the game without any resistance speaks very highly of their desire to please their customers."

"It has been a pleasure to do business with Ahmed construction. They provide very fair price on bidding. The administrative project manager Mr Albert is a hard working guy. Him along with the Mr Judy did the decking and replaced some studs on an addition remodel project. I highly recommend Ahmed construction and I will hire them again for any future project"

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"I originally planned to hire Modern Marvels to demolish my garage (which was leaning quite a bit to one side and needed to be winched over and one wall rebuilt) because the repair bids I was getting were too expensive. Chris told me they could repair the garage, as well as put on new siding, for not much more than the demo bid. They were extremely easy to work with, fast and communicative. They also did a good job. Would recommend!"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

Yes, professionals offer mantel and surround customization for aesthetic appeal.

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.
