"Dan is a dream come true! Not only an expert craftsman, he's also incredibly talented and an absolute pleasure to work with. His work is always A++++ We have done extensive work to the exterior (front and side entry) as well as an oak timbered porch. He, along with his son Tyler framed and tiled a full mud room with gorgeous custom bar. He has also sanded floors, built custom shelving, replaced all stair railings, built a custom bar, the list goes on! His knowledge of material is unparalleled. Most importantly Dan is a wonderful person. He is extremely patient (as I change my mind from time to time!) He is always on time and so respectful to our property. He takes immense pride in his work, and no job goes unfinished. He pays attention to every little detail. In short, since we found Dan our home has turned from lovely to extraordinary. I can't say enough good things and would recommend him over and over again."

"Although they were not familiar with soundproofing techniques, once provided with the proper materials and instructions, John and Nick did a wonderful job! They spared no effort to follow directions to the letter, to produce the best possible results. As questions arose, we would discuss and agree on the best course of action given the requirements, as well as their extensive construction experience. Most times I did not inspect their work until the end of the day. Any concerns were brought to their attention the next morning, at which time they would address them immediately and satisfactorily, as needed. Although most home owners would not normally require the soundproofing techniques of this job, the professional attributes displayed would greatly benefit any general construction work. My only concern was that John did not provide a written estimate before starting, especially since minor changes were made to the requirements mid-stream. In the end, I was so satisfied with the results, I have already received an estimate for JJ Construction to remodel the rest of the basement space."

"Desmond and his team were very professional, prompt, and easy to work with. My husband and I have had numerous workmen in our home over the years and they were by far the best. I came home every night to a house where I could immediately start dinner without having to clean up after workmen. They were very mindful of my 88 year old mother who lives with us, making sure she was not inconvenienced."

"Working with CMP Home Remodeling was an wonderful experience from start to finish. After calling about 5 other contractors and only get 1 other call back/estimate, Brian got back to us right away, provided a detailed estimate, and scheduled our service with great efficiency.  His crew worked quickly and did a beautiful job that was reasonably priced. They were courteous and professional every step of the way. However, what made us repeat clients for CMP Home Remodeling was the fact that the day our concrete was poured and after the crew had cleaned up and left our home, our freshly poured concrete sidewalk was vandalized. Not knowing what to do, we called Brian just to see if there was anyway we could fix it; because we knew that this is something typically not covered by the contractor. However, despite that fact that it was almost 8pm, Brian headed back over to our house and was able to patch it for us himself.  Words cannot express how grateful we are to him for that and we think it is a testament to the level of professionalism and quality customer service your receive when dealing with CMP Home Remodeling- so much so that less than a month later we have hired them to do another project in our home."

"The construction went beautifully. Jeff Ramsey completed the bathroom and went above and beyond what we expected. Living in a home built in 1847 has its challenges as in needing to reinforce the floor to ensure this old house would support our newly tiled floors, tiled shower with glass doors, claw foot tub and marbled vanity. He was so calm and reassuring during the process which reflected on how we dealt with the renovation ourselves. He was extremely conscientious and reliable and that's why we have just hired Ramsey Builders for our addition that is underway now. The bathroom renovation went great and we have all the confidence in the world in Ramsey Builders."

"Whenever you need repairs on your home its tough to trust someone/a company to do the work. Ron and his team treated me like I wasnt just a 'customer'. Professional all the way and did great work and a very reasonable price compared to others who i felt were just going through the motions of an estimate"

"Jim and his guys were absolutely great to work with...  I've never had the privilege of working with a contractor that was so punctual and knowledgeable before.
Throughout the entire project, Jim and his crew (2-5 guys depending on what was being done on a specific day) were punctual... showing up at 7AM every day.  They always responded to phones calls, texts and emails without fail.  Saying these guys are good communicators is an understatement and I am glad that I have found "my contractor."
They started with the messiest project first, of course... the ceiling. Scraping, sanding, skimming multiple times to bring my 80s ceiling into the current century.  The texture had been painted over so many times in the past but this group made quick work of it.  They covered everything in plastic to protect furniture that I couldn't remove in advance and cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day.  In the first couple of days they focused on getting as much done to the ceiling as possible before hitting a point where they just had to wait for things to dry.
Once the ceiling dry time gate was gone, they really began spending full days at my home to ensure they stuck to their projected schedule (and to help ensure I had my home available for some pre-planned social events).
They pulled up carpet, began laying flooring, preparing for the walls to be painted and baseboard to be replaced.  Their attention to detail was great... picking up on things that needed to be done that my wife and I hadn't necessarily noticed and clearly taking pride in their work.  They continued to be very communicative, letting us know what was happening, what the plans were for a given day, etc etc.
There were never any "surprise issues" that they tried to charge me for... actually, any time they found anything or we had small requests or tweaks they handled it without issue and seemed to hold getting the job done right and making us happy above anything else.
I cannot stress enough how much I've come to trust these guys in the last 2 weeks... knowing all of them by name and getting to know their personalities.  These are good guys.  They didn't make us feel like we were in the way or a bother if we had questions or wanted to see something.
They also took a lot of care to minimize the impact on our daily life.  The work was mostly done in our living and dining room (in addition to stairways, hallways, etc) so some impact is unavoidable.  For example, when the flooring wasn't 100% complete, they laid flooring in the primary walking path from our front door so that we had flooring to walk on (instead of the concrete below).  There were a lot of small things like that, where the Hunt group really just went out of their way to make the renovation a pleasant experience for us.
The flooring was put down, baseboard, and the walls got painted... all in all the project stuck to it's 1.5 week estimate.  We were walked through all the work multiple times to ensure we were happy and address any questions/concerns/etc.
It really turned out great, we are so thrilled with the way our home has been transformed.
After the work was officially completed and I shook everyone's hand for what I thought was the final time on this project... they stepped up once again to help me.  We had another group out to do some electrical work and run wiring for a new home theater and they created some holes in the walls.  Well, I sent Jim a text message that evening and asked if he could help me.  Not only did he come out the next morning to get the holes fixed for me, he didn't even charge me for it.  He really wanted us to be happy with the result of all of the work that had been done.
In summary, I really feel very thankful to have met Jim through Angie's List.  We had a lot of past experiences with contractors, good and bad... but I am glad that I have found "our guy."  He takes a lot of pride in his teams work and takes a genuine interest in the way his customer feels at the end of the project.
Really great experience... Jim and I are already talking about the rest of our short and long term "home project list."

"Mark was simply outstanding!  I first called him from work and that night he emailed to my wife and me, a list of what documents were needed and instructions on how to proceed.  He provided several refinancing options in detail relevant to our situation.  Never did he pressure us in what we should do, but rather guided us in making a decision that would be satisfactory to us, the customer.  He was always available when we had questions or needed advice and always kept us up-to-date with the refinancing process.  He was always up front with us and there were no hidden costs or surprises at settlement, which he had arranged at our home at our convenience.  At settlement, the gentleman explained the purpose of all the documents that we signed and was more than willing to answer any questions that we needed answered.  I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who is looking to refinance a mortgage.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

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 early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

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.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.
