Customers say: Quick response

"Mike and Daryl completely gutted my first floor kitchen, dinning and living rooms. Removed walls, added a load bearing beam, added new insulation, drywall and all new electrical. They performed all demo and remodeling themselves with very little outside help. They are very knowledgeable in all aspects of contracting. The quality of their craftsmanship was great. They were always here working and were easy to get in contact with when needed. They listened to what I wanted done and made it happen. I would recommend Quality Craft for any home improvement project."

"This contractor did a very good job for us. He was professional and very detail oriented and his work is awesome. We are very happy with the work that Sabino did at our house. We replaced every window in our house and it was completed in a timely fashion. We have work in the future that he will receive because we know his price will be fair and the work will be great again for us! Thanks Sabino, you are a hard worker."

Hello, I've noticed how difficult and frustrating it can be to hire someone to do a project, only to have them not follow it through to completion, or to just not show up at all, or to pass the blame of their mistakes to someone else. I started Wirth & Son Property Services because of all the incompetence and poor communication I've seen with service providers. I'll show up, do what I say I'm going to do, and keep communicating with you. Over the last several decades, I've completed a wide variety of home improvement projects, from footing to ridge, and everything in between. Whether you need something as small as a picture hung to something more complex, like a custom, site-built shed, I'll show up, competently complete the project, and communicate along the way. \n\nSome of the things I have experience in include: wasp removal, custom shed & chicken coops, curtain rod hanging, deck/porch repair, gutter cleaning, siding repair, drywall repair, assembly, fench repair, dryer vent cleaning

"JMW builders has done several jobs for me. They installed hardwood floors in my home, remodeled my kitchen, fencing in my backyard and repaired and maintained my backyard deck and front porch. I highly recommend JMW builders for all of your home improvement needs."

"

To begin with Randy was the only contractor to arrive on time for his initial estimate. Right from the start he was very thorough. He took the time to get to know my wife and I along with the type of job we wanted, what styles we were interested in and how we anticipated it all coming together. My wife is the home remodeling expert in the family in terms of decorating, styles, color and finish coordination. Randy clicked with her from the start and added several features that really enhanced the project.

When he presented his estimate a week later (and right on time), he described the process, documented all the work in the contract and guaranteed the price with no add-ons. (barring any major changes on our part of course). Four weeks later he came through. His crew and partner contractors arrived on time. All of them were very thorough, polite, clean and demonstrated an extraordinary attention to detail and craftsmanship. Randy was on site regularly to check on progress and constantly kept in touch with us to assure our satisfaction. He accommodated us with a few changes along the way and promptly took care of any problems that arose during construction and never added a penny to the price.

I wanted a real contractor that could and would coordinate the entire project including all the planning, labor scheduling and supply ordering. Randy delivered on all of those. Don't let our price scare you away from him. My wife has expensive taste and much of that cost is related to the high end materials and cabinetry we picked out. I think Randy's labor and supply costs were reasonable and given the superior craftsmanship and service that we received, it was money well spent. A kitchen can be a very emotional and inconvenient remodel project to undertake. I cannot imagine any contractor accommodating us as well as Randy.

We cannot say enough good things about the service we received and we most certainly recommend him for any home remodeling, construction or repair needs. In fact, we are already committed to using him for a bathroom remodel and all our future home improvements.

"I learned of JD Construction & Remodeling LLC from Angie’s List, and my experience with them was a very positive one. The work performed entailed replacing deteriorating decorative wood above two windows and two overhead garage doors with vinyl maintenance free decorative material on my home. The resulting work was of good quality and looked identical to how the house appeared when it was built over 30 years ago. I found the work crew to be knowledgeable, conscientious, reliable, professional and easy to communicate with. I would certainly recommend their services."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

A construction-to-permanent loan is the most common type of mortgage used to finance a house teardown and rebuild. These loans include financing for construction costs and convert to a long-term mortgage once construction is complete. Check the terms of the loan closely before beginning work—there are often restrictions requiring you to use licensed contractors for all work.

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.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.
