"Since March 2026, Mostaed Construction has tackled six projects at my home: two bathroom tile projects, a large deck replacement, small deck replacement, back siding/front door painting project and front porch column replacements. Mostaed subs included drywall professionals, painters, concrete professionals, and truly superior craftsmen who dealt with installing tile, heated flooring, deck construction and siding replacement. I also have them scheduled for four future projects (kitchen replacement, basement bathroom floor replacement, house painting, and tree removal services. I highly recommend this team of professionals….SIX STARS!"
"Needed an additional section of our basement finished. By far one of the best contractors we have worked with on a project. From the time we had the first call to the time the job was finished these guys were on point. Rob was great to work with, very responsive and delivered exactly what we agreed upon. Quality of work was excellent. Would definitely hire again."
"Hired Solis Construction to pour a 16 x 40 concrete patio. Work was done quickly and efficiently. Communication was great from start to finish. Would definitely recommend."
"They were great to work with. Only hiccup was having to add fire suppression per county inspectors. The floor to finish was all done within a reasonable schedule and professionally completed."
"Had to replace an ancient Jenn-Air drop-in range with downdraft (installed in 1979) with a new LG duel fuel gas stove/electric oven range slide in. Knew it would take some work. Randy and Dan were great during the installation. Tim was very responsive."
"Jason, the company owner great to work with and he genuinely cared about what what my wife and I wanted him to do for us. He showed up on time for our first initial appointment, gave us great options for our roof and windows and chimney topper. They did exactly what they said they would do and were amazing through the whole process. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Friedman Home Improvements for anything that you need remolded or repaired on your house. They do OUTSTANDING WORK to their customers satisfaction. We could not be happier with their services provided to us and we will use them again in the future."
"Highly recommend. Two amazing young men, Brice and Avery, who know what they’re doing. Very prompt, attention to detail and great communication. Very eager to please and quite professional. They have retiled a large shower for us, beautiful. Completed a huge deck plus trex boards. Looks fantastic. Got a rental property ready for us to sell: repaired whole wall, resealed bathtub enclosure, repaired an awful window situation, painted decking, and repaired crown molding. Sold 2 weeks later. Great company. Highly recommend."
"Roundhouse ROOFING has done a fantastic job with all of my projects from ROOFING windows and exterior siding. They’ve always been on time, clean up after their job, and has an eye for detail. These guys will always have my business!"
"I messaged them, they responded quickly. I made an appointment and all was good, until the day of the appointment…and they never showed up, they never texted or called me. Update as of 02/20/2025 I need to change my original review. I was angry that the company didn’t show up. But, they reached out and apologized for being unprofessional about the situation. I have another appointment with them and I will update this with new information."
Costs depend on project complexity, materials, labor, permits, and required revisions.
Building permits serve a few purposes, the most important of which is to keep you and the people around you safe by ensuring your contractor does work safely and to code. Permits also help your municipality tax your property appropriately, as taxes are based on land improvements and the upgrades you make to your home. Finally, permits ensure your project won’t have a negative impact on the environment or your neighbors.
You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home’s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers.
Mid-century modern architecture was a popular home style throughout the U.S. from the 1950s to 1970s. Most homes feature a wide and symmetrical floor plan with low-sloped roofs and floor-to-ceiling windows. Its minimalism and balanced appearance are back on the home style scene, particularly when maximizing sunlight, airflow, and a blend with the home's natural surroundings.
While you will always work with a team of professionals at some point during your home build, homeowners with experience can take on some part of the process. Manage the initial brainstorm, brief writeup, and floor layout phase with minimal assistance before contacting a general contractor. And while you can purchase stock blueprints for some home designs, it's always best to speak with professionals when choosing one ideal for your property.
