"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!"

"Sabato did an excellent job! I saw several contractors and was most impressed with him as he took photos of before the job, measured and asked many good questions. He managed to get the job done in just one day and was incredibly organised, gracious and respectful of our home by putting protective coverings on the floor and furniture. I highly recommend Strategic Operational Services!"

"Romeo performed an emergency roof repair and dealt with the problem to it's conclusion. He is a man of his word. I subsequently hired him to do brickwork on my home. Both jobs were done professionally to my satisfaction. I recommend Romeo."

"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.

" GARY THE OWNER'S STEP SON WAS POLITE AND PROFESSIONAL AND SPOKE KNOWLEDGEABLY AND IN DETAIL ABOUT THE JOB . HE  MENTIONED SEVERAL IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF THE JOB THAT NONE OF THE OTHER CONTRACTORS MENTIONED . GARY CAME BACK TWO DAYS LATER TO DOUBLE CHECK ON HIS APROACH AND WITHIN TWO DAYS HE HAD PROVIDED ME WITH A ITEMIZED , DETAILED ,I MEAN A DETAILED QUOTE SHOWING EVERY ASPECT OF THE JOP AND THE COST OF THE INDIVIDUAL TASK. AS WELL AS A LIST OF REFERALS AND A PORTFOLIO OF PREVIOUS JOBS .
 
   I HAD THREE OTHER CONTRACTORS COME AS WELL FOR A QUOTE . EACH  WAS FURNISHED WITH A FULL SET OF ARCHITECT DRAWINGS. THEY ALL  TOOK THREE TO FOUR WEEKS TO PROVIDE A QUOTE .
 ONE CONTRACTOR FROM THAT OTHER WEB SITE WASN'T EVEN CLOSE WITH HIS QUOTE AND DID NOT SEEM VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE . THE REMAINING TWO WERE  NOT THAT CONVINCING THAT THEY WHERE EQUIPPED TO DO THE JOB AND WOULD MOST LIKELY BE SUBBING  PEICES OF THE JOB RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE TRAMPLING IN AND OUT OF YOUR HOME,NOT TO MENTION ALL THE DELAYS,WAITING FOR THIS GUY AND THAT GUY ! AND WHAT ABOUT THE OUTCOME?
 
    I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT KENTSTRUCTION'S CREW. GARY ,ALEX, BILLY ,RONALD AND EDGAR . THEY ALL HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR KENTSTRUCTION FOR I BELIEVE 17 YEARS OR SO AND ARE VERY DEDICATED AND HAVE ALOT OF PRIDE IN THEIR WORK AND THEY ARE ALL MASTER CARPENTERS. IT'S IMPORTANT TO THEM TO DO THE MOST PROFESSIONAL JOB AND LOVE TO SEE THE CUSTOMER HAPPY.
    UNFORTUNATELY YOU DO NOT SEE THIS MUCH ANYMORE AND THIS SHOULD BE COMMENDED WITH A KIND GESTER AND A TIP TO SHOW SOME APPRECIATION.
  THEY NEVER MISSED A DAY AND EVEN SHOWED UP ON A WICKED RAINY DAY TO COVER THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE WHERE SIDING WAS MISSNG JUST IN CASE THE RAIN BLEW THAT WAY !  
     GARY WAS EASY GOING AND WE WORKED WELL TOGETHER WITH ALL THE SMALL CHANGES YOU CAN'T AVOID ALONG THE WAY.
  IN THE END MY FAMILY FRIENDS,NEIGHBORS AND I ARE AMAZED WITH HOW GORGEOUS IT ALL TURNED OUT AND AS A BONUS IT WAS A STRESS FREE PROCESS . THAT IS PRICELESS !!
  ONCE AGAIN I THANK KENTSTRUCTION FOR DOING SUCH A PROFESSIONAL AND SUBURB JOB !!

"We had hired Waheed back in 2008 to replace our kitchen Formica countertop with a granite countertop.  He was very professional and courteous.  He supervised the job from beginning to end.  The new countertop exceeded our expectations.  He gave us a beautiful radius on the island corners which we did not expect.   We needed 2 slabs to accommodate 40 linear feet of countertops plus a 5 1/2 foot long by 40" wide island.   We receive a lot of compliments from our family and friends.
This January, we needed to replace our accessory apartment kitchen Formica countertop.  We didn't hesitate to call Waheed again.  He came and gave us an estimate.  He sent us to pick the slab from his warehouse.  We wanted a white Carrera quartz countertop and we had so many to choose from.   The new countertop was installed 1 week after the template was taken.  We would recommend Waheed to anyone needing a new countertop.  He is very pleasant to work with."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

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.

While many different factors determine whether a house is classified as a villa, many villas are detached homes with a European design influence, often with an emphasis on luxury and comfort. Modern villas often feature outdoor spaces such as terraces, gardens, or patios.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.

Historically, Tudor homes originally stemmed from the 15th and 16th centuries, while Victorians appeared during Queen Victoria's reign in the 19th century. The design and structural differences are significant as well. The many types of Victorian architecture—such as Italianate architecture—typically feature ornate trim, wood siding, wraparound porches, and tall towers on top, such as belvederes. On the other hand, Tudor-style homes feature white stucco exteriors with exposed wooden rafters marking the house frame both inside and out.
