"I used these guys for a remodeling job which included bathroom renovation, some minor electrical work, knocking down and installing new dry wall and painting. Class acts! We all hear horror stories about contractors not calling you back or not showing up on time or showing up at all. Not these guys! Hector, Moises and their crew really did exactly what they said they were going to do. Friendly, responsive and oh yea, solid work! Professional through and through! Highly recommend them and would use them again!"

"My wife and I DO NOT use anyone who is not on Angie's List so we understand the importance of having accurate, fair reviews. We found Cary on Angie's List with overall great feedback on jobs he had done so we called him in for an estimate. Despite being very busy, he made the time to come over on a Saturday morning. He had previously dropped by and assessed the damage from the outside but needed to see it from the inside to ensure he could judge it accurately. After 15 minutes, our fears were realized and he said he would need to remove the cedar impression siding and remove the roof and replace it with a different system because the pitch wasn't steep enough. 
Within 48 hours, he provided a quote for his crew to come out and get the work done in a single day which was completely reasonable. He completed the work (guaranteed) as promised and left the site immaculate. He took pictures of the issue, of job progress and of the completed job. He mentioned he went around and filled some other issues he noticed while he was waiting for his crew to wrap up, no charge at all. He then discounted the quoted, agreed price 5% for angie's list deal I wasn't even aware of. Have you ever heard of a contractor accept less than an agreed price? Me neither.
Angie's List is a great resource for people to share experiences. I think the contractors who are honest and reasonable should be applauded too. We have been on the receiving end of some really lousy service so this was a new experience having someone do what they promised to do. Cary and his crew are the best in Monmouth County. We already have him pricing out finishing a storage space and will use him to build our deck in the spring. I cannot recommend Cary enough and you can reach me through Cary if you'd like to see his work firsthand.

This was a huge stress for me because of a huge budget and my wife was expecting our first child. I researched construction companies for months and attended two home improvement shows at my local college before getting bids from 3 or 4 companies. The ones I decide were all members with NARI. My contact person with Kenstruction was Gary Conrad. First impressions was that he was knowledgeable and professional. I used photos from remodeling magazines and my own sketches to show Gary what we wanted. About Two weeks later I had all the bids laid out of the table. We decided on Kentruction because of reference phone calls, photos of their work, NARI certifications and price. Their price wasn't the lowest, But it wasn't the highest. The price was reasonable for the job. 

Upon Signing with Kentruction, Gary went to work on permits and detailed plans. The framing was done my Kenstruction staff. The plumbing, electrical, drywall, insulation, tile, wood floors and foundation work was done by subcontractors. I only had quality issues with the drywall subcontractor and the foundation. I understand Kenstruction no longer uses those drywall subs. The foundation sub showed up at my front door with a bill for the concrete as the last truck was pouring. That bill should have went to Gary. Once I let Gary know he immediately took care of it. The foundation sub also tried to burry an old concrete rear patio stoop next to the new foundation, instead of removing it all together. The local building inspector caught it. Gary was informed and his crew broke up and removed the concrete patio before back filling.

Once the crew put the shell up, the rest went without a problem. Gary built a custom wood tub surround so it can be removed for future repair or service. Payment was done is stages as the project progressed. The company owner, Kent showed up at the site to see the work. When the remodel was done they even had someone clean the entire house.

In 2011, I notice one small vertical crack develop on each new concrete wall. I contacted Gary and he came out to look at it. He advised it's normal stress crack and not an issue. If it got any larger he would repair it. I researched it and stress cracks are normal and not a problem. The cracks don't appear to have grown.

Now its 2014, and all the work is holding up well. All I had to is replace the new bath exhaust fan. Any future project, Kenstruction will be on my bid list.


 **** UPDATE *****

July, 2014 I just had Kentstruction here for their 4HR remodel deal. They came over to put up a storage platform in the attic for storage. Gary came over and installed it himself. Looks good. Thanks.

"Prompt, professional, useful consultation.  No 3D designs provided because person who worked on them had left the company - more my fault because I delayed in contacting the vendor (ordered Big Deal in January when I was out of town, didn't call until September).  Big Deal may have technically been expired at that point, and just the consult alone was worth the $49 anyway.
If I decide to go forward, I will definitely call this vendor back.

"Malik runs a very professional operation. From the time of initial phone contact with Malik (yes, he does answer his own phone) to the final post-job cleanup, this was a hassle-free project for me. Malik's crew showed up promptly each morning, and under the supervision of Malik or his equally capable foreman ("Mr. Z"), every detail of this work was performed in a skilled, highly competent and precise manner. Once begun (except for rain days), the job was continued through completion. Worth noting also is the fact that, although he was aware of my budget limitations, Malik was able to deliver a first-class job which the quality of the finished product reflects. I would enthusiastically recommend him to any Angie's List member (and will be contacting him myself for all future work on my house).

"112 Home Improvement was recommended to me by my cousin.  They had remodeled his home and he was very happy.   We called John about a year before we wanted to begin.  We didn't even know exactly what we wanted.  He offered to come out and help us plan this project.  Once we figured out what we wanted to do John brought out his architect (Tom) and we started the process.  Plans, permits, surveys, variances the list is endless.  I am glad we did this well ahead of time.  Finally 9 months later (thanks town of brookhaven) we had everything needed to begin.  The work began in March and continued through June.  Everything went as good as can be expected.  There were some problems here and there but nothing that we were not prepared for.  In the end our home is beautiful.  We extended and remodeled our kitchen and created a great room, finished our basement, added a master bathroom, replaced our roof and our siding as well as added a deck.  My family and I could not be happier.  We absolutely love our home.  Thank you John and company!!"

"Mike and his company get 2 thumbs ups from me!! They did a very clean and professional job. They covered everything on y property and cleaned up every day they left. Very hard workers and very polite I must say. If your needing to get a roof done I would call these guys and you'll see from the 1st visit how professional they are especially compared to other so called contractors that came to our home. Thanks again Long Island Construction Plus."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

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.

How long it takes to build a custom home or rebuild a home after a disaster varies depending on many factors, but averages between seven and 14 months. Smaller homes or homes that don’t need a re-poured foundation may take less time to build than larger homes or homes without an existing foundation. Material availability, contractor schedules, and permit and inspection timelines can all affect how long your house takes to build.

Remodeling a house is often less expensive than building a new house. You can expect to pay an average of $100 per square foot when you are remodeling. The cost to build a house averages about $150 per square foot. When remodeling, though, some rooms cost more than $100 per square foot and some cost less. Use a home renovation cost estimator to accurately estimate your remodeling costs.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.
