"Knowledgeable, experienced, polite. Ready to work with you. well-organized plan, well explained and carried out. Ready to go the extra mile to make sure customer is pleased. - hired to re-do bathroom, updated all inside doors, made a cut-out on wall between kitchen & living room. Have already recommended them to neighbor for kitchen remodel."
"Karen and Brian were absolutely amazing! They helped design and build our new deck which looks beautiful. They were very easy to talk to and flexible with our wants. We also appreciated their transparency and fair pricing. The quality of the deck is outstanding as well."
"Ray and his team did a great job with our interior - it was a huge project including ceilings that were in terrible shape. Very nice and reliable group and I would hire again."
"Excellent installation of outside outlet, and also installed motion light over the garage door. Professional, very accommodating, and all outside work was done in terrible weather! I will definitely use Exquisite Construction again, especially that I'm now aware of the breadth of their service, and how reliable and professional they are. The additional charge was $75.00 "
"They weren't too bad but I think they could have done a better job. They did a couple of different jobs. I own rental property but all the 3 buildings are on the same piece of property where I live at. So far it seems they've done the trick as far as solving problems like pipes freezing out, that kind of stuff. Unfortunately my house itself can't be insulated any more than it already is but what I was trying to get at, like trying to get rid of dross and making sure that doors seal up well, things like that, I think they could have done a little bit better. If their prices are as reasonable as right now, I'd probably use them again. They could have tried harder to insulate my apartment. There are places they could have done it because we had a section of the house redone. Our kitchen was remodeled and they could have done it but they didn't. They could have been more attentive to detail. My house is not a new house but its also not a real old house either, it was built in the 40's so something needed to be looked at to make sure that the draft was kept out not just from the windows and walls that were insulated but also the door, the door jambs, making sure the door fits tight and all that kind of thing."
"Great! Everyone was respectful and accommodating ( we have 3 dogs that needed to go out where they were working. Roof, carport and windows are very well done! We will use them again."
"Dan did an awesome job! Prompt, detail oriented, answered all of the questions we had before and after!!! Very pleasant!! Would give more than 5 stars if I could!"
Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.
Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.
Whether it is better to buy or build a chicken coop depends on your priorities, primarily cost versus time and effort. Building your own chicken coop can be significantly more budget-friendly, often costing about half as much as buying a pre-made one. If you have the time and skills, building a coop from scratch is the most economical option. However, if your time or skills are limited, buying a kit and hiring a handyperson to assemble it can be more cost-effective than hiring a carpenter to build a custom coop from scratch. If you want a perfectly constructed coop without sacrificing your own time and energy, buying one is the easiest choice.
Trex is not stronger than wood, but it lasts longer than wood and is heavier. Trex holds up well to the elements and is resistant to termites thanks to its resilient composition of plastic, reclaimed wood, and sawdust. Trex decking is rot and warp-resistant, making it especially useful in areas that experience a lot of snow and rain.
Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.
