"We had a master bath remodel completed by Hibbard Home Improvement. Dale provided several ideas during the estimate that greatly helped with the project. The turnaround time on the estimate was quick and they arrived to begin the project when they said they would. Jeff, one of Dale's employees, did the majority of the work and he was fantastic. He worked directly with my wife on every stage of the project. My wife had several changes and they were more than accommodating. The project was finished on time and the results were fantastic. We will use Dale, Jeff and Hibbard Home Improvement on all future home renovations."
"Jim was great to work with. He was excellent at communication and was always available for a call when I had questions. Jim is also very knowledge about what needed to be done and the best way to get them accomplished. Will use American United Construction Services for future work as well!"
"Jason was a pleasure to work with and very communicative and professional throughout. I would highly recommend him and would rehire him for any future projects."

"I made the right choice when I hired Deanna & Robert. They responded quickly to my request for a quote. They were excellent painters who worked well together. They always had a pleasant attitude, it was a pleasure to have them work in my house. They were neat & quick but did a great job and their prices were reasonable. It's nice to know that people still take pride in their work which they do. I would definitely hire them again. Thanks of a great job."
"He arrived late to the appointment without calling. Once he was here, he was courteous and the consultation went fine, but I have still not received the design plans. I was informed it would take 10-14 days and it is now outside of that window. I also noticed that the price for the deal dropped $20 shortly after I purchased it, which is a bit frustrating."
"Mitch is so responsive and even followed up later to make sure I was still happy with his work? Who does that? MITCH DOES!!! I’m working with him right now for 2 more jobs. Thank you Mitch, outstanding job ?"
While it’s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.
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.
