Customers say: Quick response

"David and crew exceeded my expectations with their professionalism, communication, and quality of work - from start to finish. When I first contacted ODB, they referred me to Gayle, a landscape/hardscape architect, who helped me design the project. Gayle took into account my vision for using the space, budget, and considerations of the yard. And even recommended materials to use. After the plan was designed, David quickly quoted the project and we got started. The project went smoothly due to David and crew's constant and clear communication. And the workmanship of the crew was top notch and they were a pleasure to work with. About 6 months after the project was completed there was a small issue with some of the pavers. David and crew immediately responded and rectified the issue. Showing that the excellent customer service extended past the project end date. I wouldn't hesitate to use David and ODB again!"

"Everything from quote to finished basement went very well thanks to our on-site project manager Nate and the owner Chris. Once the project started Nate was very communicative about the basement layout and as the work progressed we talked each day to make sure everything was coming together well. Nate and his team were very skilled and accommodated many customizations in our Entertainment room and gym. I would highly recommend Remark Construction for any type of remodel. Our basement build out was larger than normal and the team was very organized and handled all challenges to create a wonderful space for our family to enjoy for years."

"If you want quality workmanship, consistent and accurate communication, and honest bidding, Scott Padgett of American Made Contractors should be your contractor of choice for your next remodeling project. This is our second time working with Scott; our first project was small - repairing our cement front porch and then tiling it. Our front porch looks beautiful, thanks to Scott Padgett. When we decided to finish our basement, adding a full bathroom, bedroom, living and dining area and kitchenette, Scott Padgett was our first and only choice. As in our first experience, Scott's vision and talent, along with his professional and talented contractors, gave us a stunning addition to our home. If you are looking for a person you can trust to complete your next project, you should put your faith in Scott Padgett of American Made Contractors."

"RJE general construction (Jennifer and Rames) were fantastic. We needed several drywall areas finished and multiple ceiling areas re-mudded/ texturized, they did a beautiful job. The ceiling blends perfectly (I did not think this was possible!). They were very fast and efficient and left 0 mess. Great job, would def hire for future projects!"

"When the square footage of your circular driveway rivals that of your 4 bedroom house you get multiple quotes. James at Powerhouse Construction was great to work with and the finished project was excellent. He walked through all the items he was going to complete such as saw cut control joints, drilled rebar for joining to the garage, and why he uses those methods. I received 5 quotes and he was the only one to include the finishing work of bringing in topsoil and seeding after the concrete work was completed. Since having the driveway replaced, I have gotten multiple comments form neighbors and even people driving by regarding how good it looks. James and his team persevered through several unforeseen obstacles such as parts of the originally driveway being 12” thick, some areas having zero gravel underneath, some areas having round river stone (not great for compacting), and a record 4” of rain one evening that turned the job site into a giant mud pit complicating work for almost a week. James brought in ~100 tons of crushed stone which they compacted multiple times to ensure a solid foundation for the concrete. He even filled the large hole I dug for the basketball hoop with concrete as they were pouring that section of driveway (I dug the hole, set, and braced the post, but avoiding the mixing 12+ bags of concrete by hand was a nice bonus) The job did take longer than planned and there were a few equipment issues, and as mentioned weather issues, but the final product was great. No contractor can control the weather and I think leading up to the pour days I was looking at the weather app on my phone hourly. He had to push a planned pour date (Friday) due to incoming storms but was able to complete on Monday. They are not the biggest and they don’t have a fleet of branded vehicles, but they all worked hard and delivered a quality driveway for me and my family that we will use for decades to come."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Prioritize safety and weather resilience when planning your initial home building upgrades. Schedule an electrical system inspection to replace outdated wiring found in older properties. Install a sump pump and correct your site drainage to protect your foundation from seasonal flooding. Since Ohio faces high radon risks, test your indoor air quality and install a mitigation system immediately if levels exceed safe limits.

Helpful?

Gather all property records before starting your home building plans. Document your current zoning classification, existing permits, and flood zone status, especially near the river. Obtain a current property survey to confirm lot lines and easements. Note any previous flood damage and record the precise locations of underground utilities to ensure a safe, compliant construction process in Hamilton.

Helpful?

Watch for visible signs of damage from seasonal weather changes. Hamilton experiences harsh freeze-thaw cycles and severe storms that cause foundation cracking, roof wear, and masonry deterioration. Check older properties for aging single-pane windows or outdated plumbing that require replacement. You must also schedule home building work immediately if you receive a code violation notice from the city.

Helpful?

Timelines for home building vary based on project scope and seasonal weather. Simple residential permits process within ten business days, while complex plans take up to six weeks. Peak spring demand in OH creates wait times of several weeks for licensed contractors. Expect full additions to take three to six months, while custom builds require eight to fourteen months to complete.

Helpful?

Review municipal zoning codes to confirm strict property setbacks and lot coverage limits before starting home building work. Historic neighborhoods in Hamilton enforce specific exterior design guidelines that require separate approvals. Verify that your chosen professionals hold active state licenses and possess proper lead-safe certifications, as many older homes contain hazardous materials that demand careful handling during renovations.
