"We had a three seasons room ,a new deck , and lower level windows replaced by Aaron and his team. We canâ t be happier! They worked through the winter, which slowed things up a couple of times, but everything turned out beautiful. Be sure to check out pictures on his website! At this posting, Aaron is back to put an addition on our deck.. we loved the first job and wanted even more room for entertaining! The neighbors loved our deck and recently had one put in their home with complete satisfaction"

"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!"

"John and his crew did a phenomenal job. They were done in less than 8 hours. John is very hands on with his crew, he was on site the entire time. He kept us informed throughout the process and fixed any issues he encountered. After they left, we walked around the house to look at our beautiful new roof and noticed they cleaned up every bit of the debris. We highly recommend his company."

"It went absolutely great!! Dennis was at my house within one hour of our initial conversation and had an estimate to me within 2 hours! They were professional, efficient and mindful of our 2 dogs. They cleaned up when they were finished and took all of the debrie. I've already got plans for my next project with Sustainable Designs!"

"The whole installation of a new shed went very well.  Two guys came early in the morning and started to assemble the shed.  They made sure that the area where I want the shed built is where I want it to be.  It's really nice to see how a shed gets built piece by piece and it shows the many years of experience these guys have in building sheds.  The shed looks nice and sturdy.  I believe this shed would last for many years.

"On 5/10, I contacted On Demand Handyman thru Angie's List and he responded within just a few minutes. I included pictures of the damage and he said he could take care of it for me. He wanted to drive by and take a look in person so I gave him my number and address. After seeing the house in person, he confirmed it was a job he could handle and said he'd be by on 5/13 to take care of it. He got held up on another job but was kind enough to contact me and let me know he'd be out on 5/14. He did show up on 5/14 and did a wonderful job! While he was there I ended up hiring him to clean out the gutters as well. He also quoted me some work I needed done in the bathroom which I'll have him do in about two weeks. Definitely recommend!"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes hiring a general contractor to build a house, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor’s license. For specialized work such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or sewage systems, individual licenses may be required, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the “Angi Certified” badge. This indicates the business meets our certification standards, which include passing a criminal background check, holding applicable state and local licenses, and maintaining an average rating of 3.0 or better.

Modular homes last an average of between 50 and 75 years, and high-quality modular homes can last for 100 years with proper maintenance. For comparison, a standard home lasts 50 to 100 years and can push to 150 or longer with good maintenance. Modular homes provide better long-term value in that they are significantly more affordable and can last almost as long, but some buyers are wary of modular home longevity, so the actual value if you sell could be lower.
