Service: Completed a property build-out where the general contractor was an idiot who hired unqualified roofing subcontractor (Sept. 2011). Reiter stepped in, repaired / finished two flat rubber roofs properly, inspected and certified, at a very reasonable fee. Considering this was a repair / completion service for previously inadequate installation by \"non-qualified\" subcontractor, it is very difficult to find a contractor to pick up the ball and complete a project with diligence, fairness, and professionalism. Recent roof inspection for cleaning was timely, and as expected, very professional (August 2013).

They did an excellent job in design and build. The owner, Matt, was extremely professional, listening and responding carefully to our needs. The workers did a great job configuring the deck to roof line, and their clean-up was perfect.

Door was warranted for life but rotted after less than 3 years - bottom corner. Was to contact manufacturer, but never responded to the issue and I suspect this was due to improper installation. Contacted manufacturer but they only work through builder and supply house.

I am a professional engineer who has expertise in residential structural engineering, home inspection, architectural engineering, and building codes. I get involved in projects where professional structural engineering considerations are involved or that were unveiled during home inspections. I can also perform home inspections as a professional engineer. I am an expert in all building codes and can convey pathways to building code compliance to contractors and homeowners. I perform design work as an architectural engineer (similar to an architect). If a project involves only plans and not a site presence, I can perform work for the entire state and surrounding states.

FAQs for barndominium building projects in Reading, PA
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.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
The average cost to remodel a garage is around $18,000, ranging from $1,500 to $50,000, depending on size, materials, location, and other factors like plumbing and electrical.

For a simple remodel, like painting interior walls and recoating the garage floor, it will cost about $2 to $5 per square foot.
