"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!!!"
"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."
"We had a large amount of damage from a fallen tree on our detached garage related to a storm - clearly an emergent situation, where time was of the essence. I contacted Doug's company, and not only did he return my call promptly (a rarity in and of itself), he was at my house assessing the job the following morning. He is knowledgeable, professional, polite and extremely thorough. He got me a bid within 48 hours, which was remarkable compared to the turnaround from other firms, and which was also very helpful when dealing with the insurance company, as this was an unforeseen insurance claim related to a weather event - the price of the bid was very competitive and fair. Ultimately, we had to go with the firm that the insurance company was recommending, so our hands were tied - but I would certainly have felt more than comfortable having Doug's company complete this job. He is now at the top of my list for any future general construction work that I may need done at my property. You won't regret contacting Furko Construction for your job."
"Nate was available within the next day of contacting him to give a reasonable quote, was accommodating in doing his best to do the remodel to our standards and gave many choices for fixtures, sink top and shower. All of his workers kept us informed of what they were doing. Would highly recommend. I love my new bathroom!"
"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 ."
"I am a Homeowner & Contractor who relocated from New York and have been in the interior construction field for over 23 years and Iâ m so grateful to have found Sky wood & tile. My Wife & I could not be happier!- The work came out excellent if not perfect, They completed the project extremely quick, clean and delivered everything as promised. Luiz & his help are great at what they do and would absolutely recommend to anyone. Finish product is top notch and quotes are beyond competitive. VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER !!!!"
"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."
"Conrad and his team were great!!
They did a beautiful job on our kitchen. They completed it in a timely manner and cleaned up well afterwards.
We would highly recommend using Servicaster."
"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."
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.
While it’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.
Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.
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.
You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.
