"Remark removed and replaced our large custom composite deck. Double picture frame with contrasting colors and aluminum rails. Fantastic quality construction on the new build. Very satisfied with the new product!!! Chris and his team were super courteous and respectful. Good to work with. Prompt responses to concerns or requested revisions. Would certainly hire this team again - have already recommended them to friends!"
"Tim with Tristate Service Home Repair responded quickly to my request for service and had one of the company’s employees scheduled and at my home in good time. Repair work was done professionally and using the right materials for the job. I had additional projects completed as a result of how well the original work was done. I’m impressed with Tristate Service and Home Repair and recommend them for any of your home repairs."
"If you want quality workmanship, consistent and accurate communication, and honest bidding, Scott Padgett of American Made Contractors should be your contractor of choice for your next remodeling project. This is our second time working with Scott; our first project was small - repairing our cement front porch and then tiling it. Our front porch looks beautiful, thanks to Scott Padgett. When we decided to finish our basement, adding a full bathroom, bedroom, living and dining area and kitchenette, Scott Padgett was our first and only choice. As in our first experience, Scott's vision and talent, along with his professional and talented contractors, gave us a stunning addition to our home. If you are looking for a person you can trust to complete your next project, you should put your faith in Scott Padgett of American Made Contractors."
"Although the price seemed a little high for the scope of the project, it was well worth it in the end given the final appearance. The brickwork matched almost perfectly and is not noticeable. The employees were professional and performed the work in a timely manner."
"Great Friendly Service. Estimated to take a week or two to complete. Took a month to paint the exterior trim on my house. Mostly weather related. Be prepared if you are doing an exterior project for mother nature to get in the way! Only downfall to this project is that it took longer than expected, there are areas that were not finished i had to get them back out for. There are still some spots that are not covered. The project went over estimate. The deck sealing did not seem to do anything. I thought water would bubble up on the wood boards and they are still absorbing moisture. Waste of the extra money and I will just do it myself"
"RJE General Construction did an excellent job! They provided a free estimate which I thought was reasonable, and they completed the job within a week. The work they did was superb! It looks so much better than it did before."
"Orlando is very thorough in explaining the process and goes out of his way to make sure that the consumer gets the most bang for their buck. He keeps you informed throughout the entire process and explains the necessary steps. This part was very important to me as a home owner to know the process and steps being taken."
A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.
While it’s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.
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’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.
Modular homes are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and faster to build than traditional homes. They also offer customizable designs.
