"Our two-story home was in dire need of exterior painting and weather damage repairs. Elite Enclosures team is skilled and responsible, polite, positive and efficient. Adam Martin strives to communicate with us, so that we have full understanding of the project. The crew are polite, friendly and good humored, but constantly working. The weather damage required a new man-door frame installation and the double garage door needed dry rot removal and mold removal, including siding replacement. The resulting repairs are exceptional and we are impressed. We have hired the same business to replace a dry-rotted fence and build a new gate, all done well!"

"I had the power to out in my garage and needed a quick fix since I am working from home out there during the pandemic. I inquired late on Monday night via email and had a call on Tuesday morning, with an electrician at my house that afternoon. He did a wonderful job of explaining the troubleshooting steps and what was being done. The culprit was a bad splice hidden behind a panel. I was back up and running in about 2 hours and the cost was very reasonable. Overall very satisfied and I will be using them again in the future."
"We used OJEG Construction to rebuild our home after a recent forest fire. We are now living in our new house that we designed. Some of OJEG's strengths are: first, listening to owner's desires; second, using skilled subcontractors and, third: maintaining quality control. We had a contractor and some neighbors came into our home, stating: This is a well-built home."
"My kitchen was old and I wanted new countertops and new fixtures. They replaced what I requested and worked tirelessly until it was done. Even after I changed my mind about something, they altered the plans to satisfy me. I’m happy with the work and this is the second time I hire them to work on my home."
"Phone call on Thursday, Geraldo came over on Friday to check the job & agreed on price. He arrived on Monday morning & work was all done on that day. Prompt & professional. We are very happy with the repairers done on our home & we would not hesitated to hire him again for any work we need done at our home."
"This was a real estate transaction that had urgent deadlines for repairs. Jordan was at the home to evaluate that same day I called him. They were able to come to the home within a couple days to complete the repairs so we could pass the inspection. They did an extremely thorough job, more than what was expected, and everyone involved was happy with their services. I would definitely use them again, and highly recommend this company to anyone needing repairs or remodeled work done!!"
"William and “company” have done several jobs for me. I have hired his company for house cleaning after renters moved and preparing for sale of a home. The cleaning has been top notch. I have also hired William and his crew to do yard clean up and they are very fast and efficient. I would recommend WMCO to anyone!"
"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."
One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.
Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.
Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.
In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.
To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs.
