"What breath of fresh air WD Family painting is. These guys were amazing to work with. I have had numerous projects done over the past 20+ years and this was the smoothest by far. I have had everything from remodels(kitchen/bathrooms), to an addition put on my house, an inground pool installed, painting and other jobs done. From beginning to end the project everything was clear, concise and consistent. I have never had such a pleasant experience with a contractor before. They came out on time to do the estimate, sent me the project cost and information quickly. Once we agree for them to do the work, somewhat to my surprise, nothing changed. They showed up on the start date on time and ready to work. Did the work with professionalism and care. The techs workmanship was wonderful. I honestly can't say enough good things about this crew. They are true professionals, with great lines of communication. I will definitely be using and recommending WD Painting in the future."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

A construction lien results from unpaid services. For instance, if a homeowner hires a contractor to do a large renovation on their home and then fails to pay for the services and materials, the contractor can take out a lien on the property. This lien is a legal claim against the property for the amount of money owed. If the homeowner does not pay their debt, the lien may stay on the title until the homeowner tries to sell and cannot do so until the title is cleared.

Any straightforward rectangular home layout is more uncomplicated than custom rooms, additions, or stylistic features. In stock plans, single-story ranch homes, cape cods, and colonials are common. Layouts with a single roof ridge are easier to build than those with multiple dormers, chimneys, or ridges.

Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you’d spend to build a standard home. However, green homes can save you money on your utility bills by consuming less energy or creating energy using solar panels or wind turbines on-site. They’re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run.

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.
