"A-Plus Home Remodeling LLC enlarged our master bath and added a closet. The finished product exceeded our expectations. That says a lot because given my concern for quality work- to impress me is no easy feat. Carlos remained accessible and responsive throughout the project. A quality rarely seen in most contractors. It took a “minute” to decide who should do the work—especially when living in a community that has a Homeowners’ Association with obvious requirements. I made the right choice in choosing Carlos’ company. I think you will, too ! Lawrence"
"I've been a NC licensed contractor for 20+ yrs and had more than a few subcontractors promise you the world and leave much to be desired in the end, but not Antonio Remodeling. They show up when they tell you and do the high quality work you're envisioning without complaints. Old-school craftsmanship (and I know it when I see it) these guys do great work. I def plan to keep using them on our projects. I only wish I'd found them sooner!"
"I was presented with a 3D version of what I was in search of for my wife and I's home project. Mrs Mozeley was very professional from the start and took care of all the details even finished early , very impressed! No Surprises, no nonsense. Great , really great results."
"Moisture Loc did a good job. The man came out and he answered all of our questions and he is very polite. He screened everything he was going to do and I paid him. He seems to be working okay, I haven't had any problems out of it. I would wish that I hadn't paid so much but everything comes costly these days. For the work they they did, I wouldn't have done it otherwise. They did what they said they would do, as a matter of fact they did a little bit more. They were neat, clean and in order. He was always prompt to call us back and his response is very good. They were pretty much hear when they said they were going to be here. They were very professional"
"The lift works amazing. Jose did a great job in installing both lifts. He also cleaned it up well and hid the wires. I would highly recommend his services."
You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.
Yes, new home construction will always require building permits, no matter where you live. In most cases, you’ll need a general construction permit, along with plumbing and electrical permits for the utility lines in your home. Depending on where you live, you’ll likely find that you also need permits for things like connection to a sewage system or installing exterior components, like decks, driveways, patios, and curb cutouts. Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.
Designs typically take 2-6 months, depending on factoring, project size, and customization needs. Larger or more complex designs may require additional time for approval and revisions.
No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.
Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.
