"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!"

"The Finest Craftsman crew is fantastic. Their work on our home was exceptional. They made my wife and I feel continually cared-for while providing us with clear information and communication about the jobs they did for us. This experience was nothing less than A+++. Jonathan and Jerson are remarkable people to work with - trustworthy, responsive, thorough and fair. They and their crew, including Carlos and Manuel, inspire confidence and hold themselves to a standard that is continually professional. Their workmanship is superb and they didn't leave a trace when they finished the job. We originally hired Finest Craftsman to do a full exterior paint job which included a lot of trim and window sill replacement. As a kind of after-thought we asked them to price what we thought was a small job on our porch - rebuilding some crumbling concrete and replacing missing bluestone. I was impressed by Jonathan and Jerson from our first appointment for them to survey the house and make their estimate. They both came to the estimate with a third guy in tow. This in itself struck me as unique- other contractors sent one guy and the one guy was there for 15-20 minutes tops. Jonathan and Jerson and their partner spent over an hour combing thoroughly over my entire house. This was also unique. I felt like I was getting their full attention. They asked me about things I wasn't even aware of - small places where there was rot or weakness. They were exceptionally thorough and caring about my home- as if it were their own. Jonathan and Jerson are both very personable - funny, warm and easy to get along with. Jonathan makes it clear in both his words and actions that while he wants to do the job 'right'. He has very high expectations and standards for his crew and his product. This was always true in our experience. In fact, after the first phase of the paint job- where a worker had come to pressure wash the house - Jonathan was very upset about the mess that the worker had left. While it wasn't messy in a way that my wife and I really noticed- we certainly could see that a lot of chipped paint and dirt had been left around the back patio, driveway and surrounding yard. Jonathan and Jerson came THEMSELVES the following day and cleaned the entire area around the house with the pressure washer. Jonathan apologized for the mess the worker left behind. It would have been fine with me, honestly, but the high standards around even this kind of thing made me feel very taken care of. When it was over, the paint job they completed was exceptional and the woodwork on the trim and sills they've done is a huge improvement to the sharp, clean lines of the house. Jonathan was in near-constant contact with me throughout this painting process. We developed a very comfortable texting conversation as well as phone calls almost daily. Plus- Jonathan or Jason (or frequently both) were at our home on the job the entire time. They were personally overseeing every step. Further, whenever ANYTHING required my input or they thought I should be made of aware of a set of choices they had regarding how to move forward... they immediately included me in the conversation. With regard to our porch rebuild - what we thought was going to be a simple repair turned out to be a much more involved project. We have a very old home - built in 1919 - and when the Finest Craftsman crew began to excavate our porch they found deterioration from salt and moisture plus a gap between the concrete pad and the 'top layer' of the porch. Jonathan and Jerson laid out for my wife and I in an extremely clear way the different options we had in order to deal with this. At no point did we feel pressured- only very informed and securely guided by their expertise. Jonathan and Jerson always made it clear what they thought the right way to go about a plan was... but there was never pressure around going in a more expensive direction. This made the entire project feel very organic and it made my wife and I feel that we were really making informed decisions about the repair and rebuild. As the job went along I felt that I could really trust these gentlemen not only to do the job sufficiently but that they were also looking for possibilities to improve and capitalize on the opportunity of home improvement. An instance of this was when we were considering replacing all the columns on our porch. My wife and I had no intention of doing this initially but Jerson suggested that the columns were not only out-of-date in terms of architectural style but were also rotting in places. He suggested we consider composite columns in a more up-to-date style. His point was also that these new columns would never rot or deteriorate. Jerson was absolutely right about this. I am so glad he suggested it and was able to sketch for us in clear detail what they would look like and how they would improve the front of our house. Since completion of these jobs my wife and I feel that we have a solid home improvement partner in Finest Craftsmen. We have already booked them to add a storm door to our main entrance and are looking to book them in the spring for some a possible siding/insulation job. I cannot say enough positive stuff about these guys and how good it was to work with them."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

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.

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.

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel
