"Gary and his partner, Forest, were very pleasant to work with. Gary is very professional and can do almost any project. I was building a kitchen in a former dining room in my 1915 house and needed to remove two windows to make room for the new cabinets. Gary and Forest removed the windows, boarded up the openings, replaced the cedar siding outside, and painted the new boards so that you couldn't tell windows had ever been there. Insulation and sheetrock were installed and taped. I did the painting to save money. They arrived when they said they would and Gary always called if there was a delay. They installed new wiring for the refrigerator, stove, microwave, two switches and 5 can lights, plus installed the cans. Adjusted the circuits in the electrical panel to accommodate the new wiring and installed under counter lighting. In January, 2014, Gary built a beautiful corner window bench with storage for me and installed it in the kitchen, replaced old knob and tube wiring in the upstairs, added an outlet in the bathroom, removed old toilet and vanity, installed new vanity and toilet, and installed light fixture. I consider Gary the very finest contractor I could have found. He listens to my suggestions, is very amenable to any changes, patiently answers my questions, and makes suggestions if he thinks something may not be feasible or cost effective. I already have a list of future projects waiting for Gary to handle. Anyone hiring him will be very pleased with the whole experience and his costs are very reasonable. "
"Darrin was great. He arrived on time and finished the job in 2 days. He did a great job installing the doors and cleaned up after himself. He was even willing to go to Lowes to exchange a door that ended up being the wrong size."
"It is with sincere enthusiasm and pleasure that we express our deep satisfaction with the renovation of a large part of our home by Hunter Construction Company. We worked hand in hand with Mr. Brad Holbert, the owner. He had a craftsman's view of exactly what was needed by way of design to have the renovation fit in perfect accord with our beautiful, old home. He was fast, efficient, and has an amazing eye for detail. Ours was a large project but he kept control of all facets of construction and finished on time. We found Mr.Holbert to very pleasant and trustworthy, and anyone would do well to place their project in his Company's very capable hands.
"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."
"Went great! we were able to rent the house we loved . Process was great and my questions were answered immediately. Cassie Ott provides great customer service and made the process easy ."
"We live in a 65 year old home that has plaster walls in need of major repair. We contacted Rich Farley & scheduled for him to come to our home to give us an estimate. He was there within two days & arrived at the time he said he would arrive. He said he could return with his crew within a few days to begin the repair work on the plaster. Again, they showed up promptly at the scheduled time, repaired the walls, & left no mess behind. We scheduled them to come back one week later (at our request) to texture the walls which they did. I cannot stress enough how pleased my husband & I were with their work. They were punctual, honest & fair with the price, friendly, & most importantly, Rich & his crew were meticulous with their work. We have recommended them to several friends & family members who have also utilized their services, were very pleased, & plan to use them again as well. We plan to have them back to repair & texture the walls in several other rooms of our home. "
"One contractor tried to convince me to replace the entire walkway ( at over the double this price) but I saw no reason for that extensive work to be done. Ron gave me the best bid and explained to me in detail what he would be doing. We agreed on the price and Ron gave me a completion date. We have had a tremendous amount of rain which slowed things down plus the city of Hilliard was being a complete set of jerks on what they were going to require for the replacement and gave Ron quite a runaround. Ron convinced them that what they wanted was not in the scope of the neighborhood and they finally agreed to the replacement request that I had asked Ron to complete. (My advice, warn your contractor in advance of what complete jerks the city of Hilliard is in obtaining permits and be ready to have a hassle). The work was completed and totally met my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Ron and his company for both their very competitive pricing and excellent quality of work."
"The job(s) went very well and I was kept in the loop the entire time. Contractor is down to earth, easy to deal with, very accommodating and sensitive to the wishes of the home owner. Very flexible when it came to rental property occupant availability. Contractor has the ability to scale the quality of supplies and the detail of work depending on the homeowners desires/needs. Prices were very competitive with no obvious signs of gouging or cutting corners, I felt as though I received excellent value. I would use this contractor in all my homes and will not hesitate to call them again. "
Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts
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.
Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.
Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.
Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.
Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.
