Q: Are there any jobs a handyperson can’t complete?

• <div><p>Handypeople usually don&rsquo;t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren&rsquo;t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines.

Q: How far in advance should I start planning my home addition project?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between builder-grade and semi-custom?

• <div><p>Builder-grade is one of two types of stock cabinets, whereas semi-custom designs allow homeowners some control over the color, finish, or hardware on their cabinets. Stock cabinets are sold in construction-grade and builder-grade designs. Construction-grade cabinets are usually made from inexpensive medium-density fiberboard, which is prone to moisture damage, whereas builder-grade models are a step up with higher-quality materials. Construction-grade designs are the most common type of cabinets in America. </p></div>

Beware of this contractor, do your homework. Steve is a personable guy and comes across very friendly but doesn't listen, cuts corners, and will defer you to his attorney if you have problems with his work. Our property is now de-valued because he was there. - Water lines all over the building...

Excellent! Our house was built 50 years ago and this company built the new garage with a style and materials that made the new construction look as if it had been built when the house was. They took time to build a quality structure with no short cuts. We are VERY pleased!

Charges for services not performed. Does not return calls. Does not adhere to its own description. Uses questionable business practices. Our property has declined in value, our common fees have doubled in 4 years, units no longer sell, grounds look horrible. Buildings are rotting.
