Listened to what we wanted, offered wonderful ideas that turned out to be better than we could’ve thought of on our own. The workmanship is great, honest price and couldn’t be happier."

"I truly enjoyed having Gary work on our project and I plan to hire him in the next few months to do my kitchen remodel. What sets him apart from the rest is his integrity. When he tells you he will call or come over, he does it. His price is his price and all receipts are documented. The quality of his work is excellent!
I did wait over a month for Gary to work on my project, but he is well worth the wait. (Frankly, I take that as a good sign that he is busy because that means he is very good.) He contacted me twice during the waiting period to let me know how far out he was from my project and then called me the week before he planned to start it. I think we have all experienced the no call, no show folks in this industry and it was refreshing to finally have someone who cared about following up with his clients.

"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.

"Amazing experience.  I hired Ron and his crew to gut and remodel a powder room in my home built around 1850.  There are no straight lines, level surfaces or right angles so all the work was challenging.  Not only did they do a wonderful job, they uncovered and restored an original brick wall we didn't even know we had.  What I appreciate is Ron's ability to bring unique ideas to the table and enhance the result of the work within the same budget.  I immediately hired them to remodel another bathroom and will use them exclusively as we work to restore our home.  I couldn't recommend them more highly. Ron, Matt and Mike are like family.  I trust them completely.

"I recently removed a wall in our house and called RJE General Construction to quote the job of patching the ceiling and existing wall. They came out the same day and gave us a quote that was lower than expected, and significantly lower than another quote I received. My wife and I are extremely happy with the work that was completed. The wall is ready to paint, and they textured the ceiling after they patched it. They used a drop cloth to protect the floors, and swept everything up with a broom and vacuum. The work was incredible, the worker was nice and considerate, and I would highly recommend this company."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.

While many different factors determine whether a house is classified as a villa, many villas are detached homes with a European design influence, often with an emphasis on luxury and comfort. Modern villas often feature outdoor spaces such as terraces, gardens, or patios.

Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you’d spend to build a standard home. However, green homes can save you money on your utility bills by consuming less energy or creating energy using solar panels or wind turbines on-site. They’re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run.

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.
