"As always, Nick did a wonderful job! This is our second time hiring nick for a project. He is always prompt, courteous & does a great job. He is trustworthy and honest, which can be difficult to find in a contractor. We recommend him to all of our friends and family needing a job done in the area. He previously did a full kitchen and bathroom remodel for us. This time, we hired him to extend out our small closet to make a walk-in closet. He finished the whole project in one weekend, and really only came back one evening to paint. We have awkward sloped ceilings and Nick did a fantastic job making it look like the closet was there the whole time! Highly recommend Nick & Green Gable Contracting!"
"As a professional interior designer it is very important that I work with other professionals who take pride in their work. Keith and his crew recently completed two jobs for me and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. Keith was in constant contact with me and kept both projects moving forward on a timely basis. Keith is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Built-Well Builders."
"I had a fantastic experience with Prestige Design & Build that revamped my bathroom. Their expertise in creating functional yet stylish space exceeded my expectations. From the initial consultation to the final touches, their team's attention to detail and commitment to quality were exceptional. I am thrilled with the results and would highly recommend their services."
"I had a very smooth, professional experience with Home Quality Remodeling. The office has great customer service skills, the Renovation Specialist was punctual and was very knowledgeable. I feel confident in the capabilities of this company, highly recommend."
"Hired this company after interviewing two other companies to remodel my kitchen. My husband and I were saving for quite some years to have this project done so we wanted the best contractor that we trusted to do the work. They came in to our home (on time with the appointment) and explained every detail about the job step by step. We really appreciated this and we didn’t feel rushed or pressured. John the sales rep was willing to spend as much time needed to answer our questions. We did not get the same sense of patience from other contractors. Although not the cheapest or most expensive we are happy we selected Garden State Home Remodeling for our extensive kitchen rehab. Thank you Garden State Remodeling Group for a job well done."
"Cesar and his crew just finished a remodel of my master bathroom. This is the second major project completed in my home by CSZ (prior kitchen remodel) and once again they exceeded my expectations. Cesar worked with me along the way to come up with the perfect design to ensure all my requirements were met. He is knowledgeable and his attention to detail is second to none. The CSZ crew, Armondo and Benjamin were also a pleasure to work with. They are knowledgeable, trustworthy, and hardworking. They also did an exceptional job cleaning up at the end of each work day. My dog even loves them! I highly recommend CSZ Construction. They will most certainly be back for future projects in my home!"
"My wife and I recently worked with Pickford Contracting—Matt and Donna—on a full remodel of a bathroom and a powder room, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. We had a very clear vision going in and weren’t willing to compromise on the details. We also brought in new finishing materials and some out-of-the-box ideas that required flexibility and problem-solving. What ultimately won them the job was their enthusiasm and excitement to take on something new, along with a consistent “no problem, we’ll figure it out” attitude. The process was truly collaborative. Matt, Donna, and their team were engaged every step of the way, open to ideas, and willing to adapt when needed. Communication was excellent—every afternoon we reviewed the plan for the next day, aligned on goals, and addressed any questions before they became issues. The workmanship is top notch, and the attention to detail shows throughout. Most importantly, they really understood what we were trying to"
"I could not be happier with the quality of the work, the professionalism of everyone involved, and the speed of the job from start to finish. Emil designed my new kitchen to be much more efficient and beautiful. The entire kitchen was reconfigured and brought up-to-date. The AC was installed beautifully and it works absolutely wonderfully. Updates throughout the house (sheet rock, moldings, paint, new interior doors) were done perfectly. Emil works closely with his clients to assure that they are completely satisfied. Emilco is, by far, the best contracting company I have ever used. I would hire them again in a heartbeat."
"We are thrilled with the renovation of our basement. Dan, the project manager, organized and oversaw the subcontractors so that no time was lost during the renovation. We were amazed that a project of this size was completed in 4 weeks given that they had to demolish an existing basement from the 1970s. Mario, the main carpenter, was pleasant, a talented and hard worker ,and could picture and execute solutions to complicated design issues posed by the existing systems of our house. We love the outcome which is peaceful and harmonious. The quality of all the materials used was excellent and ideal for a basement. We would highly recommend Lux Renovations."
Building designers charge between $2,000 and $50,000, depending on project scope, complexity, and customization.
It is technically possible to draw your own blueprints, but the process is extremely involved and really demands help from an expert. A professional architect has an understanding of design elements, interior design, the functionality of different rooms in a home, and how everything from furniture, outlets, and light switches should be laid out to serve you and your family best. Hiring an architect for blueprints can get expensive, but it’s the most responsible way to begin a new construction project. If you’re keen on DIYing, you could consider starting the process and then having a professional take over.
You likely need to hire an architect for your new house design and build, unless you have the design skills and experience with building regulations and standards needed to get your plans approved. If you are able to meet the design requirements, you can hire a draftsperson to create the blueprints for the builders to follow.
Absolutely! You can tailor the design to meet your specific needs and preferences. Whether it's adding amenities, adjusting dimensions, or choosing different materials, customizing your storm shelter ensures it suits your family's requirements and offers the utmost comfort and safety during severe weather. So go ahead and create a shelter that perfectly fits your unique needs!
How long it takes to build an in-law suite will vary by type. The time it takes to build an addition will typically be less than for completely new construction. Expect to spend about two months if you convert a basement, attic, or other existing room in your home. New structures can take up to five months, plus up to two months to receive the required permits.
