I come from a family of builders, developers, remodelers, electricians, appraisers, realtors, and many other trades in the building industry. My father, who taught me the trades, is a master developer, architect, designer, and builder. He has some of the highest-selling properties in my hometown in California. I grew up working alongside him and other family members framing, building new houses, and renovating old ones. I have served in the military for 18 years and throughout my service I made extra money for my family by buying and renovating properties. Working in both renovations and new construction has allowed me to do almost all aspects of construction, home repair, renovation, structural re-engineering, and design. Due to my background, I see and approach projects from an aesthetic, builders, and renovators mindset. This allows me to find ways to make any ideas or projects you have in mind come to life for an affordable price whereas others will simply tell you what they can or can’t do based on convenience and not desired outcome. I am a builder who can do everything from the ground up, which saves you significant time and money because I can complete a project autonomously without the need for multiple subcontractors. If I don’t have experience in something unique you’d like to build I am willing to learn and figure it out as I go. I love designing and building beautiful homes and tackling difficult projects that take complex problem-solving to complete. I have three sons, whom I love and cherish with all my heart. I love being a father and have been extremely thankful to have been able to build my sons' halfpipes, obstacle courses, tree forts, and, currently, an indoor climatized basketball/sports gymnasium, or Barnasium, as we have been calling it. I love discussing and thinking through creative projects and solutions of any kind so if you have any ideas or projects you've been thinking about, call me and let's brainstorm and talk.

"Hal has done a number of projects for my husband and me in the OBX because we can always count on him to follow through. There are too many people in the field in this area who try to work without getting permits or work at their own snails pace around the fishing and surfing season. Hal is NOT one of them. Everything he does is by the book, fairly priced, and timely. It's very hard to find all 3 in a single person here so we consider ourselves VERY lucky to have found him and to have been able to make him a friend through our business adventures as non-resident property owners in the OBX."

"This husband and wife team is first rate. We had a banking issue at the start of our project. They could have easily said it wasn't their responsibility to help me retrieve the money, but they didn't. They created a loyal customer as a result. And the work quality was second to none. I got quotes from two other providers but theirs was the best in terms of scope definition and price. The only thing I would like to see is more responsive comms, but I also understand how hard it is to balance "front office" work with the project work for a small business. And David works 7 days a week. If he makes a project commitment, he keeps it. They are delightful people who I am looking forward to working with again."

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The cost of a paver patio is $3,800 for a 280-square-foot patio on average. Depending on the patio size, paver material, and design complexity, this cost can range from $2,400 to $7,000 or more.
The size of your patio is a significant factor in the project’s overall cost. If you're building a smaller patio of only 60 square feet, your costs will be closer to $480 to $1,500. If you want a more luxurious 900-square-foot patio, you'll spend closer to $7,200 to $22,500.
The average cost to enclose a patio to create a sunroom is around $5,000, and prices generally range from $3,000 up to $10,000. The price you pay will depend on the state of your patio and whether it needs repairs or additional structural support, the quality of the materials you choose, the size of your patio, and whether you plan to run utilities into and finish the sunroom. The price for a fully finished patio enclosure could run up to around $20,000, while you might pay just $2,500 for a screened-in porch.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
In almost all cases, you will need permits if you plan on building a sunroom over your patio, but regulations and requirements will depend on your municipality. Permits to enclose your patio will usually cost between $300 and $1,000. Since navigating local building codes and zoning requirements is challenging—and the consequences of not following them can be extremely expensive—we strongly recommend hiring a sunroom builder to complete the work and pull the permits for you.
