"Our builder repaired our walls several times to no avail. Clean Hands staff assessed the repairs needed, provided a written plan of action and completed the repairs and painting in a timely and professional manner. Will definitely use services again!"

"Duane was the general contractor for my new construction home in Michigan before he moved to North Carolina to start his UBuildIt business. He was very involved making sure everything was just perfect. Easy to contact. On site frequently. You will not be disappointed using this company for any of your building needs."

I met Dana out at the Fairgrounds and asked her about laying a carpet in my bonus room and Bruce wood up my stairs and hallway.  She was very informative and said she would be happy to come to my home for an estimate. I had a couple other estimates under way as well. I have to say that I went back and forth with Dana and other carpet installers because I wanted something nice in my home but did not want to invest a lot of money. I don't plan on staying in this house forever and with selling in mind, I don't want upgrades that I won't get back in return. Dana was super friendly and listened to my requests and helped me pinpoint the exact flooring that suited my needs. I ended up choosing a very nice Berber carpet for my stairs, hallway and bonus room. We removed the carpets ourselves because my husband took down popcorn ceilings in the hallways and bonus room. Dana was very agreeable to waiting for this to complete this work before we had the carpets laid. My installation went very well if you compare my experience with previous contractor experiences (I don't have the best luck when it comes to work being done on my house). The install was delayed by one day; due to the carpet not arriving on time. The next day the installer was supposed to be at my house by 0900 but did not arrive until about 1100. The installer explained that the carpet was delivered to the wrong warehouse and he had spent much of the morning tracking it down. However once he started installing you could tell he knew what he was doing and the job went very quickly. He, alone, installed the carpet within 3-4 hours. I was extremely impressed. He did it systematically with very little mess. The padding was awesome and the finished product was exactly what I wanted. The color is perfect (which Dana helped me pick out) and it was all done so professionally. My kitchen is next and will definitely look to Design Home Renovations for what they can do for me in my kitchen.

"We would highly recommend Darrick for your home improvement project. He is a very personable guy and he did thorough job finishing up our porch on schedule. His bid was very competitive and the quality of work was top notch. We love our new porch and plan to hire this company again for future home improvement projects.

"'B-/C+' is the real grading. He manages several non-English speaking crews and so the quality of varies and no recourse with the people performing the work. The jobs looks good from afar, but the details are lacking. Many houses here are built with a "carpenter's gap" (google it). The workers did not mention this to me or to James Taylor, the consequence is my roof continues to let in vermin and this is now much more expensive to fix (I offered to pay the difference to fix this, never heard back). The workers also slid down the shingles and there is shingle wear where they slid down on their butts. The roof is functioning correctly, although we have sealed a several popped nails. The siding install was just the siding, the quote apparently did not include painting/sealing where the trim butts up against the siding ( I was told this is standard practice, so now I have to get up on a ladder and paint this myself). I was glad house wrap was included, but the work was carelessly cut and not according to Tyvek's overlap specification nor fastening (see picture. Manufacturer specification specifies a 6" overlap (red dots) and washered fasteners). Billing was clear enough. Email/phone response times long."

"My wife and I bought our home late last year from Housekick. They partnered with ProGreen to do all the interior work. The house paint is absolutely amazing! I told them to surprise us with a fun door, and they picked out the perfect green color to compliment the house. It was a great surprise! Interior paint is flawless and everything was left clean. The cabinetry work was incredible. They also re-did all the countertops and tiles. Owner, Cory, set up appointments for us at the best tile and countertop places in town and we were greeted by an attentive team member who gave us a tour and showed us all our options. They know Cory and the kind of work he does and we’re able to guide us and make recommendations. Their teams did a great, clean job on all the walls. The LVP flooring is absolutely amazing and we could not be happier. It's incredibly durable! We have a very active dog and his nails never leave a mark! During the move we slid a lot of furniture around and no marks! I painted a few accent walls and got paint on the floor. It came out with some soapy water. They redid our staircase and it’s absolutely spectacular! There are so many other things they did to complete the house, including building a full deck and fence. Overall could not be happier with our house and the job ProGreen did. Cory's customer service is only outshined by his attention to small details and how many times he's on the job site monitoring his team's efforts. Will never use anyone else!"

"We initially called Mr Hargrove in August for an estimate on painting of the exterior trim, gutters, and around windows and doors, etc. on our two story brick house.  We were very impressed with his punctual call return and his punctual arrival for an estimate.  We needed the house pressure washed and scraped all around as the house had been neglected by the previous owners and needed serious work.  We liked his plan and his estimate and we decided on the spot to hire him and his company as there were many other things that were also going to be needed and we thought "this was our guy for anything that we need"  His crew showed up on the date and time specified and went to work immediately washing and scraping the exterior of the house.  They also had to remove all the storm windows for proper scraping and painting.  It was pretty hot, but his guys showed up every day and did a fantastic job.  We were and still are VERY impressed with the job they did and would hire them again in a minute!  During one particular nasty rain storm we noticed a serious leak in a couple of rooms and told James about it and he went right up on the roof and found where it had leaked and within the next few days, he had put on a new roof on that part of the house and it has not leaked since!  And the new shutters they installed look great!!  We have also had two of our neighbors stop by commenting on how good our house looks and wanted to know who did it and we happily gave them his number!  We are new to this area and we feel very fortunate to have found James Hargrove and his home improvement company and definitely plan on using them again!!

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

Remodeling a house is often less expensive than building a new house. You can expect to pay an average of $100 per square foot when you are remodeling. The cost to build a house averages about $150 per square foot. When remodeling, though, some rooms cost more than $100 per square foot and some cost less. Use a home renovation cost estimator to accurately estimate your remodeling costs.

How long it takes to build a log cabin depends on a variety of factors, including its size and design, and whether or not you have to clear the land. Construction can take a few weeks for a prefab log cabin on an established site, but up to eight or nine months for a custom cabin on undeveloped land. In comparison, the timeline to build a house is typically four to 12 months.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.
