"Well, let me just say that John and his team absolutely exceeded my expectations - and I paid less for the project than I thought I would. I don't know how you could ask for better than that. When I asked for a roof to be built over my back deck, I was envisioning just a rough wooden roof. But they made it look like an extension of my house! It is beautiful - not rough at all. They put a metal wrap over the wooden beams - and soffit and fascia that matched my exterior perfectly. I wasn't expecting this and it blew me away. And they did it all for what they quoted me. And each member of the team has a specialty. Charlie the carpenter has the roof up in no time, Tom the painter did a beautiful job, and John, the owner, is more like an artist than a builder, and of course Maddie (the real boss). They took real pride in their work - and that makes all the difference. If you want pictures or come and see it - email me - [email protected]. Proud to show it off."

"We had two skylights that were leaking in heavy rain conditions in spite of minor repairs. Gary Brand of G.A. Brand Renovations inspected them, recommended replacement with new units, and gave us a free estimate for the replacement. He identified some modern energy efficient skylights and we contracted to have him do the replacement. He removed the old skylights, rebuilt the roof opening, installed the skylights, installed the flashing and shingles, and sealed everything. No more leaks. He then trimmed out the interior opening, stained the trim to match existing trim, and installed remotely-operated, solar-powered shades. It was a top-notch job.
Gary is a true craftsman which comes from many years of experience as a home builder.

"We had a wonderful experience working with Darrin/Xclsuive Home. Darrin was very knowledgeable about multiple aspects of home repair, and it was very convenient to work with a single company that could provide quality repair in several areas that we needed for our home: siding repair, roofing repair, repair to an external door, wooden deck repair, and concrete repair. Darrin responded quickly to our request for an estimate and finished our projects quickly. We would be happy to work with him again!"

"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.

"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.

"    I was very pleased that the owner, Ron Diersing, worked with his crew side-by-side the first two days.  Ron answered every question that we had about the job.  We are extremely pleased .  Our neighbor stopped by this morning and I have already recommended Ron Diersing to him.  The ov erall experience was so much better than we ever expected.  I had expected a messy, arduous project and it was nothing of the kind.  Ron and his crew left the "campground even better than they found it " - no extensive repair to the lawn, no cleanup on our part and, most of all, we were left with such a pleasant feeling of satisfaction with a job extremely well done.  If you had such a category, I would give him an "A++."    Ron was more than professional and truly wanted to please his customer.  You can tell he takes great pride in his work - and his work actually is a sculpted accomplishment.  We can't say enough good things about Ron Diersing."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

When organizing home building in Lancaster, review local zoning rules and private subdivision restrictions early in the process. You must also plan around central OH weather. The ground freezes from December through February, making foundation work difficult, so schedule your groundbreaking for the spring. Finally, account for severe weather risks by incorporating reinforced construction or a safe room to protect your property against high winds and tornadoes.

Helpful?

Review every proposal carefully before starting home building in Lancaster. Avoid quotes lacking specific allowances for site work, as clay soil and flood risks demand precise foundation planning. Reject any bid that omits mandatory city permits, required inspections, or adherence to the OH building code. Furthermore, out-of-town contractors lacking local connections face severe scheduling delays. Always verify that your chosen professional holds valid state trade credentials for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC work.

Helpful?

Successful home building in Lancaster requires durable materials suited for the local climate. Choose poured concrete foundations set below the frost depth to prevent heaving. For the exterior, install high-wind architectural shingles and fiber cement siding to withstand severe weather and freeze-thaw cycles. Inside, use engineered lumber to resist warping from humidity. Finally, install double-pane windows and robust spray foam insulation to meet strict OH energy efficiency standards.

Helpful?

Completing home building in Lancaster provides immediate and lasting advantages. In the short term, you gain access to accessible land while remaining close to the Columbus job market. You also benefit from an active local network of experienced professionals. Over time, your property value appreciates within this growing Fairfield County corridor. Furthermore, new construction meets strict OH energy standards, ensuring optimal insulation and superior energy efficiency during cold winters.

Helpful?

When planning home building in Lancaster, prepare for site-specific expenses. Clay-heavy soils expand and contract, requiring deeper foundation footings. If your lot sits near the Hocking River floodplain, expect mandatory flood-resistant construction requirements. You must also account for utility tap fees, multiple city inspections, and radon mitigation systems, as OH sits in the highest risk category for radon. Always secure a comprehensive site assessment before finalizing your budget.
