"What started as a deck rebuild turned into a three season room addition. Matt and his crew were easy to work with, offered some great suggestions to us, and the finished room is more than we hoped for! We loved his suggestion of putting pine on the vaulted ceiling, and the finish work at the bottom on the outside looks great. Matt took care to match our 20 year old siding, and finish the windows and doors to exactly match the others on the house."

"This review is long overdue! We had the pleasure of working with Robert on renovating our new house from top to bottom almost a year ago, and we are still thrilled with the results. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality has created a deep trust in Robert. He is top of our list and we have recommended him and his team to all our family and friends. We knew he would be a good fit from the initial consultation. Roberto managed everything with care and great attention to detail. Robert and his team executed our vision so well and everyone who has been over have showered us with compliments at how good everything looks. Throughout the renovation Roberto maintained excellent communication, keeping us updated at every stage. They were always punctual, courteous, and willing to answer any questions we had. His team was respectful of our home and ensured that the worksite was clean and organized at the end of each day. The quality of workmanship has proven to be outstanding and the custom work will last us for years to come. Another impressive aspect of working with Roberto and team was their ability to stay on schedule and within budget. They provided a clear timeline at the beginning of the project and adhered to it, completing the work on time without any unexpected costs. Even after the project was completed, Roberto continued to provide exceptional customer service and followed up to ensure we were satisfied with the work. We highly recommend Roberto to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional contractor. Our new house is beautiful and suits us perfectly thanks to Roberto and his team!"

FAQs for home building projects in Schenectady, NY
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The pros and cons or advantages and disadvantages of building a new house include:
Pros:
It’s all new, so you should have several years before you need to pay for major repairs like a new roof.
It’s under warranty, so many fixes within that warranty period should be covered.
You get to build the house to your specifications.
Cons:
You have to make a LOT of decisions.
You will almost certainly deal with building delays.
It can take a lot of work to stay within your budget.
Building can be more expensive than buying an existing house.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
Hiring a contractor to build your home is a big commitment. So be sure to ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective home builder:
How many years of experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you have worker’s compensation?
How long have you worked with your subcontractors?
How do you handle garbage and waste disposal?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Do you give free estimates?
Do you offer design services?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three references?
Can I see some of the work you’ve done?
