"Once started the work was done quickly. The original scope of work for concrete finish was changed at my request to use exposed aggregate making the pad look like one single pour. Wow, looks great, money well spent. Gable roof with cathedral ceiling and finishes match perfectly. Looks like it has always been part of the house. Light landscaping was also provided to repair lawn from construction damage. This was done by the contractor without charge or my request. There was a small leak that the contractor repaired after several trips. This was resolved to my satisfaction. The point here is the contractor took responsibility and returned until this was resolved. We love our new patio, it’s perfect!"
"If I could give Anthony more than 5 stars I would. This is the 3rd job I have had done by Anthony and his crew and the work was outstanding. I wasn't completely satisfied with a part of the job at first. Anthony and his crew took my concerns seriously, came back on a Saturday, worked all day, and followed through completely. These days that kind of commitment is rare. He stands by his work. Honest, hard-working, local business. Look no further if you want the job done right."
"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 ."

"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 knew it was going to be challenging to find an investor that would lend me money for this real estate venture. I have lived 20 years in a four unit historic condominium building in downtown Jersey City and I wanted to buy the unit above me as an investment property. But with Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac rules, they would not give me a loan because I would own half the building and this would give me too much control over condo association decisions. I checked with Angie's List where Central Lending was well recommended and spoke with Mark, the president of Central Lending, about my situation and that I needed an unconventional loan outside of Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac oversights. After many disappointments and on the very last day of my contract with the seller, Mark found a lender. And on the very last day of the window to the loan, it closed. I cannot thank Mark and his assistant Judy enough for their patience and steadfast of seeing this through. I cannot tell you the emotional roller-coaster ride I went through during the 4 1/2 month duration. There were many moments that I wanted to give up but Mark reassured me that the sale would happen. Without Mark's personal intervention with the lender and title company, this deal would not have closed. You can be sure that when I am in the market to buy unit #3, I will not hesitate to contact Central Lending. Thank you so much."
"AMC Construction is a GREAT company! Love the work they did, exceptional job and professionalism!! These guys know construction and I highly recommend them!!"
The cost to draw house plans typically ranges from $800 to $2,700, with standard blueprints averaging around $1,800. For a custom home, the cost is higher, with blueprints often falling between $5,000 and $20,000, and potentially more for very complex designs. Several factors influence the total price, including the project's size, the number of rooms, the type of drawings required, and the architect's experience level. You may also need to pay a structural engineer to ensure building safety, particularly for custom homes.
Pros provide detailed quotes and efficient management, reducing overspending risks on materials and labor.
You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home’s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers.
Yes, most designers tailor plans to fit your budget. Discuss financial constraints during initial consultations.
When you think about Arts and Crafts-style homes, you probably think of a Craftsman house or a bungalow-style Craftsman. Craftsman is one of the major styles developed during the Arts and Crafts movement, but it checks most boxes. Craftsman houses have low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters, open floor plans, and stunning wood finish.
