"I recently had the pleasure of working with M&K Renovations to transform my basement into a home theater and bar, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the first consultation to the final touches, the entire process was seamless and efficient. I would like to start by recognizing Nick on the sales team for his exceptional service. Right from the initial meeting, Nick displayed a deep understanding of my vision for the basement transformation. He took the time to listen to my ideas and provided valuable insights and suggestions to enhance the project. His expertise and attention to detail truly helped bring my vision to life. Not top mention, the proposal was clear, concise and transparent, all which I value when it comes time to sign a contract. Once the project was underway, Chris, the project manager, took the reins and ensured everything ran smoothly. Chris's exceptional project management skills were evident throughout the entire process. He was always available to address any concerns or questions I had, and he consistently communicated updates on the progress. His meticulous planning and organization ensured that the project was completed within the agreed-upon timeframe.

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
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.
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.
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.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
