"I recently had my kitchen remodeled, and I couldn?t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team was incredibly professional, communicated clearly every step of the way, and completed the project right on schedule. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and the price was very fair for the level of service and craftsmanship provided. It was such a smooth and stress-free experience, and I truly appreciated how respectful and reliable the crew was. I would absolutely hire them again for future home projects."

"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 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.

"After a couple of times not being able to reach the provider, the provider showed up on time, was very professional and went beyond the call of duty.  For example, he took pictures of areas on my roof and chimney that needed repairs and indicated suggested time frames for taking care of them.  He didn't have to do this, but while he was repairing the siding and had to go up on the roof he made these inspections and suggestions.  I was impressed with knowledgeableness and thoroughness.

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes hiring a general contractor to build a house, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.

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.

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

Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between $20,000 and $50,000 on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it’s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for $3,000, while others cost upwards of $150,000.
