"Excellent job. Showed up on time and did a nice clean up after. This job was to replace a hole in the ceiling with sheetrock and painting. Very good work; I can't even see where he patched it, so smooth. I will definitely use James Agate Contracting again."

"Classic Construction Inc. is an impressive company to work with. They were always punctual, extremely professional with quality workmanship in every aspect of the roof replacement of my home, to the point of my again contracting Classic Construction Inc. to also upgrade my kitchen. I am very pleased with the outcome. They can take great pride in their professionalism and quality of their workmanship.  
  I have since recommended Classic Construction to many of my friends, all of whom are also extremely pleased with their professionalism, pricing and workmanship .

"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."

"Leo and his team did a beautiful job remodeling the entire apartment. He was extremely patient with the questions that I had and worked to accommodate my needs in a reasonable manner. The job was finished as efficiently as possible. He was also willing to go out of his way to pick up supplies from local hardware stores. The renovation process itself went very smooth and they even cleaned up as much as they could afterwards. Even after remodeling was completed, he still offered to some minor work that couldn't have been done because the materials did not arrive on time. I would definitely reach out if I need further work done and would recommend him to anyone looking to remodel or renovate their place."

"Boulevard Planning did a total remodel of our home. We had a cape and removed the entire second floor and built an full third floor attic. Thanks to John, we some how were even able to live in the house (not ideal) through the entire construction. Could not have asked things to go as smoothly as they did. John is a stand up guy and really went above and beyond. To be expected a few bumps along the way that were immediately taken care of. Cannot tell you the number of complements we get, more importantly it is awesome to be living in the new house. Unbelievably, John stuck 100% to the original budget. We did exceed budget with extras, mostly on the first floor. All of the extras were our own doing. With any contractor, stay on top of the work they are doing in order to be sure it is up to your liking. I would hire Boulevard Planning to do it all over again."

"Gary and the team did a great job. My wife wanted a timber frame look to the front entrance and the guys created an amazing custom look. Gary made some design suggestions along the way, and we think they really enhanced the overall look. This is the 4th or 5th time we have used Kentstruction and I cannot say enough great things about them."

"Great! John has done many projects for us in the past but this was a major one. He was our general contractor for the entire project. We basically gutted our old kitchen, dining room and living room, raised the ceiling two and a half feet, and then built an addition that connected to the opened up space. He found us excellent subcontractors for every phase of the construction, e.g. the architect, framers, landscapers, electricians, plumbers, demolition, drywall, spackling, insulation, carpenters, roofing, gutters, flooring, tiling, countertops, painting, heat and air conditioning, motorized shades and home theater installation, you name it, he found us a top notch expert. Throughout the construction John was responsive to all of our questions and concerns and he took care to make sure that the job was always done right. His crew was always helpful and they would go out of their way to help and make sure everything was neat and tidy at the end of each day. But the most important thing Valeri Construction brings to the job is confidence that you will get the highest quality of work in the end. John oversaw the subcontractors who built us a brand new kitchen with new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, sinks, lighting and appliances. Another thing that we really appreciated was John's skill as a master carpenter. He and his crew installed a cedar ceiling throughout the entire indoor space, an entire wall of built in oak bookshelves with a rolling library ladder, along with a beautiful deck with ipe wood flooring. They also made extensive improvements on the exterior of the house, putting up cedar shingles, a bay window with a copper roof, and a spiral staircase that allows access to the deck. We are very happy with the end result and we highly recommend Valeri Construction for any home improvement project. John and his workers are a pleasure to work with and you will not be disappointed if you hire him for a project."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

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.

Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you’d spend to build a standard home. However, green homes can save you money on your utility bills by consuming less energy or creating energy using solar panels or wind turbines on-site. They’re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.
