"We needed someone to go through the city variance process for our build. In the middle of the process our original architect was unable to finish our project and Tate Architectural Design was able to pick up where we left off and complete the job. They were also very easy to reach and helped us every step of the way with any questions we had. I would highly recommend."

Installers are our full-time employees, not subcontractors. All materials come with a 100% lifetime warranty. At Simple Bath& Simple Kitchen, we believe your bathroom or kitchen can be your sanctuary, and it's high time the process of renovating was as peaceful and serene as the room itself can be! We have a conveniently located showroom in Worthington, with staff available to promptly answer the phone or meet with you in person Monday through Friday (evenings and weekends, by appointment). No cookie cutter "systems" and no "cover ups"! We go right down to the studs to custom build your new tub or shower, and offer fully customized kitchen remodeling. On time, on budget, no worries, no surprises. Simple. We specialize in: • Bathroom Remodeling • Bath Tubs • Showers • Shower & Tub Conversions • Acrylic Wall Surrounds • Onyx Wall Surrounds • Matching Vanity Tops • Commodes • Custom Vanities • Tile & Vinyl Floors • Plumbing We do NOT do handyman work. Simple Kitchen is a sister company to Simple Bath that was created by popular demand from existing bathroom clients. Simple Kitchen brings all the same principles (On-Time, On-Budget) to the kitchen remodeling experience. We understand that the kitchen is one of the most used spaces in your home so we want it to be beautiful and functional. We can give you a BRAND NEW kitchen in a week! We specialize in : Quartz and Granite Countertops, Tile Backsplash, NEW Cabinets, Flooring, Lighting, Appliances

"Cabinets were high quality, workers were friendly but under stress due to what they called a work model. They ran into a couple of things that slowed down the work and took unnecessary short cuts. Dry wall was not all replaced where needed, dry wall mudding was a little sloppy and sanding was sloppy due to pressures of time. For the price that was paid the over all product was less the desired. A leak in a plumbing connection caused water damage to a downstairs bathroom ceiling and the repair was sloppy and the ceiling was left unpainted and spotted. The staff was under undue pressure to finish on Friday as the end of the week came so a new job could be started elsewhere the following Monday. While the workers were friendly and attentive the completed job has numerous flaws that are visible. The electrical work was excellent as was the installation of cabinets and counter tops. Until this company upgrades the over quality of work and allows extra time to properly complete a quality job when unforseen issues arise I would not recommend and felt we were overpriced due to the overall quality of work performed."

"They replaced my garage doors but in the process damaged a lot of the wood around the door. The service man (I won’t mention his name) continues to promise that he would come fix it. Four months later, the texts stopped and I ended up paying to fix it myself. I would have expected they would make the repairs since they caused the damage - guess I was wrong. Not sure if I would recommend."

My name is Charlie Griffey, owner of Griffey Remodeling. Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, I have always had a passion for Architecture and Design. After graduating high school, I worked for two remodeling companies while paying my own way at the Ohio State University. In 1991, I was confident that with my hard work and dedication, I could start my own remodeling company and here we are 21 years later. My company focuses on residential remodeling and we service many cities surrounding Columbus, Ohio. We are a small company, but we strive to be the best in the industry with our innovative designs and an unmatched professional service from start to finish. We all love what we do and we are proud of our constant A plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, our 27 Angie's List Super Service Awards and many BIA and NARI Project Awards. If you are looking for some remodeling work on your home and you are looking for an honest, competitive, knowledgeable and reputable company, I would love the opportunity to earn your business. I personally handle all of the sales and design, so when you call, please ask for me- the owner.

"Having worked with multiple remodelers and contractors on two different houses, Charlie Griffey is by far the best I've ever worked with. I have high expectations, and Charlie exceeded every one. Charlie had workers at my house every day (including some weekend days) during my project and communicated with me (unsolicited) on a daily basis. This is unheard of for a contractor. Furthermore, his subs do great work. Charlie was not satisfied until we were completely pleased. He even called later after the project was completed to make sure we were happy. He had recommendations for me that I was hesitant to pursue, but he ended up being spot on. Furthermore, we encountered a delay (in shipping--not Charlie's fault), and Charlie remedied the situation himself in order to stay on track. I cannot say enough good things about Charlie's communication, professionalism, efficiency, or attention to detail."

Beacom Construction Company LLC is a full service general contracting company that specializes in handling the details of your project so you don't have to. From decks to basement finishes, and remodeling to complete new builds, your home is in good hands.

"Beacom Construction Co LLC was extremely professional when it came to repairing the water damage caused by an improperly installed shower pan when the house was initially constructed. Years of slow leakage caused the subfloor to fail under the shower and kitchen sink areas. Beacom Construction was able to come in and make repairs in a very manner keeping the costs reasonable and not creating extra unneeded work as others had quoted. If another project is required at my home I would rehire Beacom Construction immediately."

FAQs for custom home building projects in Ostrander, OH

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity. 

The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.

The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200

The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour. 

Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
