"The original front porch on our house was unusable because it was less than 4 feet deep and the wood floor was unstable and slanting. John drew up detailed plans for the Upper Arlington Building Department which were approved. He demolished the original front porch and built an entirely new front porch that is 8-feet deep, with bead-board ceiling and beautiful trim. The project resulted in a remarkable improvement in our house's curb appeal and functionality. John was professional, punctual, creative and reasonable throughout the scope of the project. I would hire him again."

"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!"

"The guy I met with was great from the company.  The person who came to do the work was not great.  Very nice but didn't show up the day I was told but came the next date.  That didn't really bother me because I didn't need to be home for it.  Just thought the overall work was ok to marginal at best.  The lattice work wasn't very good.  We couldn't afford the person I wanted to go with but know I regret the decision.

"We have worked with Brad Holbert with Hunter Construction Co., on a number of home renovation projects from 2002-2012. During this time, we have been extremely satisfied with both cost and quality, as well as Brad's integrity.
Brad excels at project management and the orchestration ensuring that everything falls into place in a timely manner. Brad has incredible follow through and a great sense of urgency. He clearly understands a homeowners concerns and frustrations.
Working with Hunter Construction, we never have to worry about loose ends. In fact, we used Hunter Construction's services to help us when we needed a new roof. We could of found a roofing company on our own through friends, but we knew that if a problem arose over time, we could always call Brad, and he would take care of it. Having had a problem in the past with shady
workmanship and tradesman disappearing, engaging Hunter Construction Co., for this purpose gave us the added security of knowing we always had someone to call if a problem occurred after the work was completed. One of the greatest benefits of working with Hunter is Brad's temperament. Brad returns calls promptly and is always available. Brad is an excellent Handyman and is less than half the price of other handyman companies. We highly recommend Brad and his company, Hunter Construction Co.

We have used No Despair Home Repair previouslly.  As always, this project was excellently done.  This weas the biggest project Ron and his crew has done for us.  Ron does a great job of listening to what we want and then producing that result.  He makes excellent suggestions that are well worth considering.  His work aleays exceeds our expectations.  Ron is easy to work with and flexible in making any needed changes.  Ron was quick to return when it was necessary to resolve a couple minor problems.  We are already planning our next progect.  I would highly recommend No Despair Home Repair for any type of work around the house.

"Very professional job. Top notch service and work ethic. Could never tell we had the ceiling repaired and the painting was perfect. I don't want to go on because I need them to come back to my house to paint the whole first floor and afraid they might become to busy. When you use them you will be as happy as I am."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Narrow urban lots in Marion restrict side additions, pushing home building toward rear or second-story expansions to preserve outdoor space. When opening up compartmentalized historic floor plans, you must install engineered beams to replace load-bearing walls safely. Additionally, strict OH energy standards dictate the size and placement of windows, directly influencing both the natural light and exterior appearance of your home.

Helpful?

Aging municipal water and sewer connections dictate mandatory upgrades during home building to handle increased demand. For homes built before 1978, you must hire certified specialists to safely remove lead paint and asbestos. Additionally, evaluate your lot grading to ensure proper drainage away from the foundation. Always check for utility easements and resolve any prior unpermitted work to meet OH building standards.

Helpful?

Check your foundation for settling or cracking, as Marion sits on clay-heavy soils prone to expansion. If you own an older property, inspect for outdated knob-and-tube wiring, balloon framing, or plaster walls, which require special care during home building. You should also verify your flood zone status and address any existing basement moisture issues before starting structural modifications.

Helpful?

Start by consulting the local building department to confirm required permits and inspection schedules for home building. Conduct a boundary survey to identify property lines and easements. Schedule concrete pours between late spring and early fall to avoid freeze-thaw damage. Verify zoning compliance for setbacks and lot coverage, and always contact OH utility services before digging to protect underground lines.

Helpful?

In the short term, home building resolves unsafe deferred maintenance and brings your property up to current Ohio building codes. Upgraded insulation and mechanical systems provide immediate relief from high utility costs. Long-term benefits include increased property value and enhanced flood resilience. Proper construction techniques also extend your foundation’s lifespan while contributing to broader neighborhood stabilization efforts across Marion.
