I have been in business for over 8 years. It started out as side project to make extra money, but turned into something I am very passionate about, I love my work and pride myself on my excellent quality. I've built everything; decks, new houses, siding ( vinyl-cedar-clapoards) bathrooms (remodels/new) finished basement, structural supports, flooring, painting, full kitchen remodels. I am organized and keep a very clean work space. I believe in fair pricing and have wonderful communication with my clients. I enjoy explaining the ins and outs of a project so my clients know exactly what they are paying for. No job is too small or too big. I also offer landscaping services installs, retaining walls, fences and minor tree work.

"Kevin is top notch, great work done on time at a reasonable price. I highly recommend him "

"I wrote the C review. 3 years later, the windows leak every year and there is a leak in another room under the roofing that Sean "fixed." I have just learned that there are holes (where he put his scaffolding) above the leaking area. The windows were new and the only leaks are below the holes. I have spoken to other roofers who say it was a very poor job and should be redone."

Colonial Restorations is a father/son company. We use no subcontractors so at least one of us is always on site. Since 1981, Colonial Restorations has provided structural restoration and repair of historic timber frame buildings. A family business, Tom and Brad Green perform all work themselves in order to make sure that your historic timber frame project receives all the experience and commitment it requires.

"Barn Rescue – My barn was hit by a vehicle, which broke a large post and pushed section of siding out from under the roofline, plus major damage at ground level. Brad shored it up for the winter with an array of jacks and an enormous chain to ensure the thing wouldn’t fall down till they could return in the spring. Come spring, they fully replaced the damaged section’s support members and facade, and added bracing to the attic, rendering it stronger than before. Foundation support: The sagging beams and jerry-rigged support columns in the dirt basement of our 18th century house were inadequate. They dug and poured a dozen footings and lally columns, supporting a line of new 6x6 and 9x9 beams that provide solid support to the house above. They showed up promptly every day, worked fast, and left the site clean and finished. Both Brad and Chad have a deep knowledge about old houses and the techniques that were used, and I felt my historic register property was in good hands."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Many providers assist with obtaining necessary permits. Confirm with your contractor.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

Yes, you can finance new construction using a construction loan or a construction-to-permanent loan, or you can use a home equity line of credit or a cash-out refinance if you’re building a second home. Some mortgagors may have restrictions on DIY house builds, so be sure to check that you can get financing before starting your project.

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.
