"Krain Construction did an awesome job putting a deck on our cottage. Brain and the whole crew were great to work with. They were very friendly and made a deck that was just what we ordered. The work was done on time as promised and to a high level of workmanship. I will be asking Krain Construction to do more work in the future...highly recommended!!!"
"Doug and his crew worked hard and completed a challenging roof replacement within the time I expected. Of particular note was that we had a party within a few weeks of their start date. They worked late into the evening on several days to be sure that the work was done and the yard was cleaned up in time. I highly recommend Furko Construction. Also, with all the heavy rains we've had since the work was done, there have been no leaks or reasons for call-backs."
"I had a very pleasant experience with Rough Diamonds Construction. Nate (owner) was always available for questions. The basement remodel was done well and timely."
"We hired Anthony to perform a *laundry room addition* to our house. We live in an older home and wanted to take out a 2nd floor extra storage space that we were not using and convert it into a laundry room. The price was fair but the service and work were well above average. They go above and beyond and get the job done quickly without cutting corners and fixing previous DIY improvement disasters. I could not recommend Anthony and the company more. Look no further, because this is your guy."
"The owners (Chris and Cal) did an excellent job on our remodeled project. They were personally involved with the project and worked directly with us during the entire planning and implementation of the work. They were true craftsmen. We wanted a contractor who could do the entire project and C&C fit the bill. They performed the drywall, flooring, windows, painting, electrical, and structural part of the job. We would highly recommend them ."
"The guys that work for JSF are amazing.They are very professional,knowledgeable and neat workers. We related well with each guy, we are actually going to miss them.Dont hesitate to call them !! I’d put them up against anybody."
"David did a great job on this project, very clear communication and it was obvious he cared about quality. I would gladly hire him again for a future project."
"I couldn’t be more thrilled with the outstanding service from Pressure Makes Perfect! Out of six companies that bid on my repair job, they not only provided one of the most competitive quotes but also stood out with their thorough and transparent approach. They took the time to explain every detail of the project—what needed to be done and why—giving me complete confidence in their expertise. What truly set them apart was their commitment to keeping me informed every step of the way, sending photos throughout the entire process. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and top-notch communication have earned my trust, and I’ll absolutely be turning to Pressure Makes Perfect for future projects!"
Yes, new home construction will always require building permits, no matter where you live. In most cases, you’ll need a general construction permit, along with plumbing and electrical permits for the utility lines in your home. Depending on where you live, you’ll likely find that you also need permits for things like connection to a sewage system or installing exterior components, like decks, driveways, patios, and curb cutouts. Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.
Yes, custom designs match existing structural and aesthetic themes.
Yes, such as using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs for long-term savings.
It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.
The only real drawback to green building is that it’s more expensive up front, with per-square-foot prices sitting 33% higher than what you’d pay to build a traditional home. The higher cost is due to more expensive building materials and more labor to ensure every aspect of the home is as efficient as possible. However, green buildings often save money in the long run, so this is just a temporary downside.
