4-6 employees, cost is determined by the job, free estimates, have been working in residential construction and remodeling since 1978, began company in January 1980, much experience in trouble shooting, use only reputable subcontractors occasionally, I personally oversee all work, travel expenses apply

"The project went very well, and we are very pleased with the final product. A large master bathroom and office were added on to the master bedroom. The current master bath was flipped around, so there was a second bathroom for the children. Kitchen cabinets were repainted in the process as well. The only hiccup was the plumber used. We had to eventually find our own because the regular one Tramco uses was delaying the project by not showing up at times."

Most of our work is done by our employees but on some of the larger jobs we do have subcontractors that we have worked with on many jobs in the past that help us. We do the whole job- from beginning to final clean up. We can give you as many references as you would like.

"Mike and his crew did what they said they would do, on time and for a good price. Quality of work was great. They were careful not to damage surrounding yard and plants. I highly recommend! Would use again. Very pleased."

Owner Operated - 30 years construction. Moved to Rankin County in 1993. We have an interior designer on staff to assist with color selections, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, furniture layout, appliances, and tile at no additional cost to the customer. Exceptional quality on every job. Architect assistance for drawing a home specifically for customer's lifestyle. Pre purchase lot/land evaluation - site prep fpr a 3,500' home can vary from $3,000 up to $30,000 or more depending on soil quality. It is very important to contact Tony before buying land or drawing home plans. I can save customers tens of thousands of dollars on their new home just by changing a few details on how it is drawn, which is not the architect's job. We are also licensed, bonded, and insured.

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Home additions can add significant value to a home by increasing its overall square footage and enhancing a home's functionality and appeal. Key additions such as extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or larger kitchens offer the highest returns on investment. Well-planned additions that seamlessly integrate with the existing structure and match the neighborhood's style can boost curb appeal and market value. However, the actual increase in value depends on the quality of the work, the types of additions, and the current real estate market conditions.

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand. 

Framing tends to be the longest step in the construction process, especially for larger homes. It takes anywhere from one week to a couple of months, depending on the house size, the number of people on the construction crew, and the time of year. The design stage often takes a long time, too. Some people spend months or even years contemplating their house’s size, layout, and materials before construction begins.

Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they’re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior. 

Major home remodeling projects have some of the highest ROI for adding value to your home. For example, adding a primary bedroom can return about 55% of the investment to build. The cost of a primary bedroom suite averages $62,000—-so the high ROI helps sweeten the deal. However, always make sure to speak with a contractor and architect before adding a new room to your home, as each space affects the layout and aesthetic of your home differently.
