"If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We bought a house that ended up being a surprise fixer-upper. We thought paint and new flooring would be the extent of our home improvements but as we got into "demo" we found problem after problem. We were very discouraged because the problems were more than we could handle. I called 7 contractors and only 2 called me back. Luckily for us, one of them Bryant Construction. The positive, can-do attitude that Nich and Scott came in with, was exactly what we needed, to know that it was all going to be ok. They did it ALL for us. They tore down walls, built walls, fixed electrical, fixed plumbing issues, added can lights and ceiling fans, fixed floor joists, laid flooring, textured walls, did trim work, fixed window issues and so much more. They came up with solution after solution for ALLLL of the problems they ran into with this house. Also, they are fantastic people. They are honest, reliable, trust worthy, positive, funny and most importantly, they LISTENED TO WHAT WE WANTED. They were also respectful of our budget and timeline. I can't imagine have anyone else do the work that they did. I wouldn't want anyone else to do the work that they did. We are so very grateful that we found Bryant Construction!!"

"The technician did an excellent job. It did take a while to get the repair finished, but that was due to Bertazzoni delivering the parts. I have had multiple problems with this particular appliance. My range now works better than it did when new, but I have a feeling that even if I have continuing problems with it, American Home Shield will just repair rather than replace due to the cost of the range. By the way, I'm not exactly sure of the date of the repair."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Homeowners frequently underestimate the extensive site preparation required for home building in karst topography. Budget extra resources for engineered foundation solutions and complex drainage requirements in Saint James. Anticipate lengthy delays for permit reviews and rural utility extensions. Plan around narrow seasonal weather windows, as wet springs and hot MO summers compress the ideal construction season. Always account for strict state regulations regarding private septic system designs.

Helpful?

Watch for diagonal foundation cracks or sloping floors, which point to underlying karst subsidence common in Saint James. Check basement walls for white mineral deposits or persistent musty odors indicating moisture intrusion from heavy rain. Inspect exterior walls for bowing caused by humid MO summers. Look for unpermitted additions from previous home building. Always hire a local professional to correct these structural and safety hazards properly.

Helpful?

Start your home building preparation by verifying your specific permitting jurisdiction, as rules differ between Saint James city limits and unincorporated areas. Commission a geotechnical report to identify hidden karst voids before excavation begins. Schedule foundation work between May and September to avoid the disruptive MO freeze-thaw cycle. Always contact the state utility locating service before digging, and confirm your contractors hold active state credentials and liability insurance.

Helpful?

You can safely handle minor maintenance during home building by caulking windows and doors to block cold winter winds. Seal hairline concrete cracks before the Saint James freeze-thaw cycle begins. Clear your gutters ahead of intense spring storms to prevent water backup. Photograph any foundation cracks with a ruler for scale. Never excavate around your foundation yourself, as the local MO karst terrain hides dangerous subsurface voids.

Helpful?

You must actively participate in selecting your parcel location for home building, as choosing between Saint James city limits and rural areas dictates your utility options. Work directly with your engineer to select an appropriate foundation type for local soil conditions. Choose durable exterior materials that withstand severe MO freeze-thaw cycles. You must also review neighborhood deed restrictions and coordinate directly with local inspectors for mandatory site visits.
