"I called Choice and reported my problems. They issued a work order and within the hour, I had been notified by S & J Plumbing that they would be here on Thursday. I could not make the time, so I called them and they politely scheduled for the next day. They showed up early, looked over the problems , called in the work to make sure it was covered and they repaired or fixed everything that was needed. They worked on my house like they were working on their own home. After done, they completely cleaned up, reminded me that they guarantee their work, and left. The gentleman who worked on my house was a professional and a credit to his company. I cannot say enough about the quality of work and their concern for everything. I will never forget such a wonderful experience and will not hesitate to recommend Choice Home Warranty. Thank you so much."

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

"

Job was done on the date promised, in the time span estimated and at the price quoted. The two man team properly braced the porch roof before tearing the old column out. They built the new column on site. The team removed all tear down debris as well as the trash from the construction phase (a really big plus in my book since I have had other contractors leave their trash for me to clean up.) The contractor asked for a deposit before they began and the balance after the work was completed. I marked them down on punctuality since they told me that they would be here at 9:00 but it was 90 minutes later before they arrived and another 30 minutes before they started work. As I said above, the work completion was promised for the end of the day and they met that.

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

When planning home building, prepare for the severe thunderstorms and tornadoes common in MS. Schedule exterior work during late summer or fall to avoid heavy spring rainfall and weather delays. Verify if your property falls under city or county zoning rules, as these dictate your project limits. Finally, check for military overlay zones near the local air force base, which enforce strict height and noise restrictions.

Helpful?

Always hire licensed contractors with active general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Your chosen professional must have proven experience handling the heavy clay soils and severe weather risks specific to Columbus. Ask prospective builders about their local subcontractor networks to prevent scheduling delays. For specialized projects, verify their expertise with historic preservation guidelines and flood zone regulations. A reputable contractor will also handle all required permitting for your home building.

Helpful?

Start home building by verifying your exact zoning classification to determine what structural changes are permitted. Gather all required site plans and construction drawings to secure your building permits early. If your Columbus property rests in a flood zone or historic district, you must obtain specialized approvals before starting. Order a professional soil assessment to test the local clay and prevent unexpected foundation failures down the road.

Helpful?

Unexpected expenses during home building stem from foundation remediation caused by expansive Mississippi clay soils. If your property rests in a flood zone, major renovations trigger strict elevation requirements. Older homes hide aging utility lines, poor drainage, and hazardous materials like asbestos or lead paint. Properties in the historic district also demand specialized, historically accurate materials. A thorough pre-construction inspection helps you prepare for these exact issues.

Helpful?

If your property sits on the heavy clay soils common in Columbus, you face foundation shifting that complicates home building. Check your address against federal flood maps, as elevated foundations require specific structural approaches. For older homes in the historic district, original framing and aging plumbing or electrical systems demand careful handling. Hire a local professional to inspect your structure and identify these specific architectural challenges before starting work.
