"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"The project went really well. The builder communicated clearly at each step of the way and was open to substitutions. We opted for a different brand of decking besides what they usually use and our requests were nicely accommodated. The workers came when they said they would and completed the project on-time and left our property as they found it. The porch and deck look awesome! I would highly recommend this builder for decking projects. We are very satisfied."

"I had a plan of how I wanted my deck to look and projecbiz came through and made it happen!!! Moises arrived I gave him my idea and he took measurements, drew a sketch and came back the next day with an estimate that was great. I could not be happier with the outcome! They definitely took pride in their work and made sure that it was nothing short of perfect!! Thanks projecbiz!!"

"I found t&t on manta.Com I live out in western NY but Im in town visiting my mother and I noticed that her roof was in desperate need of fixing. She needed new shingle and there was a leak in the attic due to what needed to be replaced. I called Dave on Thursday and he came out that same day to take a look and gave me an estimate. I was satisfied with the estimate, thought it was more than fair especially since I just paid about 800 more at my own home for less work. we set it up on Thursday for today (saturday) He showed up this morning at 730 am which was perfect because at that time my mother was up trying to move boxes out of the attic on her own and he actually helped her out with that before he started working. I got over there about 10 and he was up there hard at work.He finished at about 2, which was also impressive because I thought he'd need a few days. But this guy was no joke, he worked straight through the entire time, no mess or nothing. He kept everything organized as far as debris and his materials. Overall, I'm completely satisfied with the way things went, and the price. But this next thing is the real reason I'm even writing this review. My mother also has a ramp in the back side of the house where the boards are uneven and i asked him if that was something he could take care of when he had time. He said yes and even though he had another estimate to go to, i told him he could do it another day, but he said he could have it done in an hour or 2 and didn't mind coming back and doing it today after his estimate. And best of all, he said hed take care of it at no charge since he didn't need any material, just needed to realign the boards. I tried to tell him to just relax for the day but he insisted that it was fine and he'd feel more comfortable knowing my mother would be able to safely use her ramp. I mean, he was a real stand up guy. Guys like that are far and few in between. I'd definitely say if you need something done, call him up because he's fair in price, timely and i think he genuinely wants to do good quality work for his customers.

"Marketplace Homes has managed two residential rental properties for me, and everything has always been very easy. They coordinate showings, negotiated rent with tenants, and hired contractors as needed at each property. I would use them for any rental property I have in the future!"

"

Removal and installation of  new roof went fine. The problem is I have cedar shakes on house and some of them came off during demolition of old roof. I called G & A to see if they could come out  and replace them. After two calls they replied and said yes. They would be out in a couple of days. After waiting a week, I called again and left a message. I never heard from them again. I have no problem with their work . Just the lack of response.


Geno  came out on a Sunday and did the repairs on the cedar shakes. He cut, replaced, and painted all missing shakes. I am very pleased and happy. I will definitely be using G&A again in the spring to fix my chimney.

Home Building questions, answered by experts

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

Yes, modular homes offer a wide range of customization options for layout, finishes, and features.

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.

On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:

  • Location of your home and the living cost in the area

  • Type of foundation and framing you choose

  • Quality of the building materials

  • Footprint and layout of the house

  • Number of stories

  • Builder’s experience
