We strongly recommend BCC Builders."

We are thankful for the referral to Jim Fisher of Billionfold Paint Co. We originally hired him to paint the interior of our recently acquired Sunriver condo which was built in 1971. He helped us with so much more than paint. He was like having 5 contractors in one. If he could not do something, he found us someone who could. We used him, or one of his associates, to paint the entire interior of our condo ( including stripping an extensive stubborn wallpaper border), installing all new flooring (tile), new granite tile countertops in kitchen and bathroom, refinished older louvre closet doors, constructing an original wood frame for a mirror in the entry that matched the trim on the front door, installed new bathroom exhaust fans, installed a new dining chandelier, shoveled snow from our roof, etc, etc. We appreciated his design opinion. He had excellent follow up. He was meticulous. After any of his associates worked in our condo he inspected every detail. If he felt that one of his associates missed even a minor detail, he insisted on making it perfect. Besides the fact that his work was excellent and reasonably priced, he was trustworthy, reliable, extremely punctual, and after working in our condo, he left it cleaner than when he started! His associates were clean and polite. He responded quickly to emails and phone calls. You truly to not find contractors with this much integrity anymore. Jim Fisher is one in a "billion".
"Zach did a fantastic job replacing old doors and installing wainscoting in my home. His price was very reasonable compared to others and the finished job looked great! Zach is a skilled professional and his work is a testament to that."
"NW Builders & Renovation gets my highest rating. Max M coordinated my roofing job and was very profession, personable, with great attention to detail. Max was willing to hear me, address my needs, and come up with best solutions. I also want to mention the crew. They did a wonderful job, they were respectful of my home, tidied up every day, left the job site very clean, and were also respectful of my neighbors. NW Builders is a company that stand behind their product and work. They show pride in their work from start to finish, and beyond. They offer quality products and workmanship with an exceptional outcome. My roof is beautiful. I'm confident it is installed to last. I am a very happy customer and I highly recommend NW Builders & Renovation."
"William and his crew are great to work with. Their work is outstanding they pay attention to detail and are open to suggestions as to changes that might need to be made. I would rate them to be at outstanding group of Craftsmen"
"I had a great experience with Bar T Bar. John is clearly very knowledgeable about all things home improvement and is super fair / honest. I appreciated that I was kept in the loop throughout the entire project. John and Mark were very professional and they stayed right on budget and right on time. Very impressed with them overall and I can’t wait to reach out again for our next project!!"
The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.
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.
When you think about Arts and Crafts-style homes, you probably think of a Craftsman house or a bungalow-style Craftsman. Craftsman is one of the major styles developed during the Arts and Crafts movement, but it checks most boxes. Craftsman houses have low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters, open floor plans, and stunning wood finish.
You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home’s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers.
The costs depend on the type of wood, labor, roofing material, permits, and whether additional storage or enclosed walls are included.
