"The service was wonderful. I was very pleased with the work. I plan to hire them again to build a deck. They were reliable and neat. They were clean doing all the work, and they give me a very good price. They were very honest and dependable. They work very hard."

"Sandiel Construction did a full remodel for us and was beyond our expectations- it turned out absolutely beautiful. Sandiel is extremely skilled and pays great attention to detail. He did our siding, demo, insulation, drywall, electrical, windows and paint - not only was it done beautifully but it was done timely. I fully recommend Sandiel Construction for your next project."

"The technician did an excellent job. It did take a while to get the repair finished, but that was due to Bertazzoni delivering the parts. I have had multiple problems with this particular appliance. My range now works better than it did when new, but I have a feeling that even if I have continuing problems with it, American Home Shield will just repair rather than replace due to the cost of the range. By the way, I'm not exactly sure of the date of the repair."

"They did an excellent job with painting the interior of our house. We had a really high wall in the stairway, and they had no problem getting to the top of it and did a great job! Would hire them again!"

"When you call American Home Solutions in Oswego, Mack Majeski will get back to you in a timely fashion. Mack came to our home and gave us a estimate for a new roof. He was professional and knowledgeable of all aspects of roofing and clearly listed all elements in his estimate. In the estimate he listed the manufacture warranty and guarantees his craftsmanship for 25 years. His price was very competitive. We asked for a certificate of Liability Insurance and he provided us with a copy before work started. A date was scheduled for the work to begin (weather permitting.) He started the work on the date he promised. A large crew began work and nearly completed the entire roof on the first day. Care was take to protect shrubbery around the house and everything discarded was taken away. The second day the crew came back and finished the roof. We asked Mack to do a separate side project and he obliged. If you call him about anything related to works he has done he will get back to you. I would recommend his company for a roofing project big or small."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.

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.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs.
