"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 and Barry were terrific . Good prices . Had FRIEDMAN HOME IMPROVEMENTS AND MASONRY do my roof, kitchen, bathroom, flooring , and concrete. I would definitely hire them again and plan to. Good honest people to deal with including the workers !"
"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."
Professionals such as architects, general contractors, electricians, HVAC specialists, and interior designers are crucial to effectively planning and executing significant renovations.
You don’t have to commit to a complete home renovation to age in place comfortably—those can get pricey. Instead, focus on a few impactful changes. Consider adding a stair lift or installing ramps to eliminate barriers. Upgrading to non-slip flooring can prevent falls while adding brighter lighting can improve visibility throughout your home. These thoughtful updates can make your home much easier to navigate and enhance your comfort and safety without the stress and cost of a complete overhaul.
An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design.
How long it takes to build an in-law suite will vary by type. The time it takes to build an addition will typically be less than for completely new construction. Expect to spend about two months if you convert a basement, attic, or other existing room in your home. New structures can take up to five months, plus up to two months to receive the required permits.
Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.
