"John Martin and his team have done great work for us. They have done several projects for us ( Shadow Box fence for our backyard, Extension wall for our staircase, capped the under side of our front porch/deck, and a few other things. John always answers his calls or returns messages asap and their work is top notch. I would recommend them to anyone looking for General/Full Home Building to give them a call."

"Preston of G-1 Plumbing performed the services and addressed the toilet & drain problem. He was unable to stop leak(made it worse) & submitted his recs to Choice Home for review. I was unable to understand Choice Home's response regarding the faucet leak. Their review stated faucet needed to be replaced BUT it was under "builder's warranty." I built this home in 2005. There is no "builder's warranty" now. I cancelled the proposed work order & paid out-of-pocket. A Friend, who was familiar with my builder and knows faucet components, came to my home, adjusted/cleaned the faucet cartridge and stopped the leak. The CHW tech, Preston, is conscientiuos, however, IMHO lacked the knowledge & experience to stop my leak. Home Warranty Companies, at least in my area, hire owner/operators who need the work to build their business and are NOT the most experienced/knowledgeable & are willing to work for less money. In my experience, Home Warranty Companies want the CHEAPEST resolution, not the BEST. I would recommend G-1 Plumbing for most plumbing issues."
"They take money on muy account for my home warranty service, and they are very responsive, and very reliable. They send Repair companies to my house for repairs and services."

"I had John come out and give me a estimate for a new roof on our home. He was 1 of 7 companies I had come out to my home and give estimates. Out of all of them he showed up 15 minutes early unlike a few that showed up late and did not even bother to call to let me know. I also had given them all the same paper with instructions on how we wanted our estimates give to us and how to break them down for us to see where we were going to be spending our money, and Mid-Valley was the only company to do this for us. john looked at our roof and took measurements and even took time to point out somethings on my front porch that we needed to fix when we fixed the roof over it. He took time to tell me about the products they used and even let me know that if we had any questions to call. I did tell him that my grandparents were going to be paying for this and would be here during the roofing time. He told me to let them know if they had any questions they may call him, and he would even come back out to talk to them if they would like once they got here. I also wanted to make sure that this roof could be put on during a time frame that was only 2 weeks away from the time he came out for my estimate and John managed to be able to fit us in between jobs and our Oregon weather. Once we deiced to go with Mid-Valley my grandfather took over and contacted John to set up a time to meet with him and go over everything. John came all the way back out to my home and did a walk through with my grandfather and explained to him everything that needed to be done. My grandparents were really impressed my him and felt he was really a great choice we made. They agreed that 1 week after meeting and exactly 2 weeks after he showed up to do our estimate work would start and would take 2 days max. The morning of the job start he showed up wit a van of guys already to work which was great to have a van and a truck instead of lots of trucks up and down our street making neighbors made. It made parking a lot easier since we also had family from out of state and out of town here at the same time. They all greeted us and went right up on the roof while John talked to us for a few moments before heading up to work on our roof to. It is nice to see the head guy working on the job right along with his crew. With in a few hours they had the whole back of my roof off and fixed the dry rot we had and had the new one being started while a few of the guys started on the front part and my skylights. it was a very cloudy day and as the finished the back up and had been working on the front part of the house, skylights and front porch which was the worst part of things the sky let loose. I watched as they just keep working and after about 15 minutes of downpour it stopped and work went on full force. Yep they got wet but kept it going. Even though they had to deal with the rain and even our windy day we had that day they were great and kept working. A job that was estimated at 2 days only took 1 day from start to finish. After the roof was done John came and took time to walk around with us and make sure things were done right. We did find a few things that were not totally done and he made sure they got done and even sent a few guys back to put some metal strips on my back porch that was not included in the job, because they seen that it did not have them and some of the singles that the people who roofed that roof before put where weather stripping should have been blew off. He asked if we would like him to do that for us and we told him that would be great. Oh ya forgot to tell you that during the whole roofing project my grandfather was us there asking all kinds of questions and taking pictures of the whole thing from tear off to the finished job. He wanted to make sure that I could see everything since I can not get up there to see it cause I am afraid of heights and wanted to know everything about my old and new roof. I really think we made a great choice in Mid-Valley Building,LLC. I would recommend them to anyone who would be looking to have things done to their home. I would be happy to have them come back in the future and do more work for us and would most likely be the first company I would call on. Thank You John and his whole crew for your great job done From All of Us On Fairoaks in Falls City, Or. "

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."
"The company made an appointment to perform interior painting on July 3rd. We were repainting the entire home and hired a professional to do the area over the stairs and the vaulted master bedroom. The day before the scheduled appointment I was contacted and told they would be unable to keep the appointment and needed to reschedule for the following week. I explained that the house would no longer be empty after July 4th and the painting needed to be completed prior to the move in. He committed to send a painter. The painter arrived at noon the day of the appointment. When I checked on the painter a couple of hours later he had rolled the ceiling and walls but had not done the cut in where the ceiling met the wall. The painter told me that he "hates to paint". I was surprised considering he was a painter and he responded, "I am not a painter. I would rather build decks, hang drywall or pretty much anything other than paint". I was shocked that the company didn't send a painter. The next time I checked on him, he was working on cutting in the area where the wall meets the ceiling. It looked horrible. The areas I painted looked 100 times better than what he had done. At that point, I sent him home and contacted the company to complain. To their credit, the company sent a real painter to the house after the move in. That painter re-painted the bedroom and fixed the problems. In the end, the master bedroom looks great. The owner told me that they fired the guy they sent the first time, but from the reviews that other people had the same guy sent to their house. I respect that they fixed the problem but I would not use this company again. "
"They did a real good job. They were real professional. We can now open the garage door from the inside of the house and now it is so smooth that we have to check to see if we hit the button to open it or close it. Before we used to know when it was opening or closing because it used to make a noise. It helps when you move to a city where you are new. "
Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.
The average cost to build a modular home is around $270,000, and most modular homes total between $180,000 and $360,000. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:
Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling
Type of foundation
Utility connections
Cost of building permits
The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.
Historically, Tudor homes originally stemmed from the 15th and 16th centuries, while Victorians appeared during Queen Victoria's reign in the 19th century. The design and structural differences are significant as well. The many types of Victorian architecture—such as Italianate architecture—typically feature ornate trim, wood siding, wraparound porches, and tall towers on top, such as belvederes. On the other hand, Tudor-style homes feature white stucco exteriors with exposed wooden rafters marking the house frame both inside and out.
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.
