"Premier Contracting is the company you're searching for. Not only were they timely with their estimates, but they came with phenomenal recommendations, thorough communication and patience for my million questions. We had a dedicated resource at our home the whole time and he gave us daily updates of how the projects was going, any roadblocks he saw and solutions for those roadblocks. Their attention to detail throughout the project was better than mine, which is saying a lot since I'm a massive perfectionist. We can't stop showing off our deck. In fact, we liked them so much, we're going with them for our kitchen. Seriously, if you are considering any work, just pick them, you won't be sorry."

"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.

"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.

"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!"

"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.

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?

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?

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?

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.
