"Ryan has been an amazing person to work with! His knowledge and flexibility are the best I have dealt with in a long time. My wife is skeptical, when it comes to builders and contractors but after meeting him she was a believer and knew just how valuable he would be to us and our new home. Thanks for everything Ryan!"

"I am delighted to have found Jaime’ Quality Home Improvements! He did a total rebuild of our wet bar in the family room and a remodel in the half bath. He did all building of the bar, flooring, installed lighting, wall coverings, electrical, plumbing, etc. His work and attention to detail are amazing. He thinks things through and finds the best solution, which I very much appreciated. He completed the projects in a timely fashion and was very fairly priced. I will use him for other projects I plan to do. I recommend him VERY HIGHLY. Great personality and great person! Thanks Jaime!"

"It went absolutely perfect. This is the second time I have used this company. The renovation was a bit stressful but Dennis and his crew were mindful of our two dogs and everything went smoothly. The work is top notch and I am beyond satisfied. They cleaned up removed all debrie and were friendly and professional!! I will never use any other contractor for my home improvement needs!!"

"The job went very well. The person that I spoke to in the office, John, was very knowledgeable, reasonable and helpful. I inadvertently sent the deposit to the wrong address. John didn't complain or change our scheduled install date. When I needed to delay the install (wasn't able to prep the site in time), he accepted it without any complaint. They built the shed on time, and didn't let recent rains affect our spot on the schedule. The builder Bob, was very pleasant and did a quick and professional job. Both Bob and John did a great job and were quite professional: they returned phone calls quickly. So, I do recommend this company."

"If you are looking to add a quality deck to your home, I would highly recommend working with Joseph Nasser. The entire experience from start to finish was fantastic. Joseph was the first company to contact me after requesting estimates from a few companies. He and his crew were efficient, professional, and very detail oriented. My existing deck was removed very quickly and then came the building of the substructure. I had done quite a bit of research and had experience with building decks. I was very pleased to see a detailed plan of the substructure and interested in watching it come together. The crew answered my many questions during the entire process and were extremely patient with some last-minute changes I requested on the steps and rail configuration. They went above and beyond to give me the deck of my dreams and I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ve already made plans to hire Joseph for another upcoming project. This is by far the best experience I've ever had with a contractor."

"I purchased a home at absolute auction and decided that it would be best that the home be completely gutted due to electical concerns before if would be safe to reside in and before we put our other house on the market.  So the project turned into a complete renovation that started early 2009.  We were able to reside in home by mid June 2009.  I started looking for contractors for the project and the drywall contractor I hired referred me to Dave, as all windows  and doors needed to be replaced.  Long story short, Dave saved me in this project as the home required a lot more reconstruction than I had ever imagined.  I realized I became the General Contractor for what pretty much was becoming a new home.  Thank goodness Dave had the skills to reconstruct the home to be sound as it would become our residence.  Although I never hired him as general contractor he "trained" me how to manage this project, that in hindsight I am THRILLED with the outcome of the project.  Dave was PATIENT, and very helpful in helping with every decision for which I recruited his input, however he always stressed that it was my decision.  He is knowledgable he EXCELLED in pointing out things that may result from the different choices I had to make.  Dave was always there when he said he would be and was very flexible about making time for my last minute emergencies so I would meet the dates I have other contractors scheduled to do their work.  I have continued to contract Dave for smaller projects that we do not have the skills to perform ourselves.   Most recently he has resolved a trim issue to a outdoor pavillion that I wanted the finished project to be maintence free.  He reseached what was needed to trim out treated lumber with aluminum as there can be issues with that combination.  He found material to install between the two products to eliminate problems.  I was picking up on construction that my husband did.  Dave knew my FINAL goal was that I would never have to take paint to it, and finished the building to my requirements.  In regard to price, a few jobs I have priced out elsewhere, and I will say that Dave is not always the lowest, however I am comfortable that I will be satisfied with the final outcome and that he will treat our home with respect as it were his own.  That has not been that case with all of the contractors I have hired in other fields.  I do feel he charges fairly for his professionalism and experience.  I would hire Dave again without hesitation for any services he feels he can perform ."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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

A carriage house is a freestanding building, while a townhouse is connected to other units. A townhouse is a full single-family home and typically shares a parcel of land with other connected homes. A carriage house is rarely used as the sole single-family home on a property and is most often an additional building sharing property with a traditional single-family home. 

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.
