"We had a shed pad installed for our new shed. Bob really worked to make sure we understood the different types of pads we could get as well as the ground leveling process. He was the only contractor we talked to that put the pad in the ground (excavating some dirt) so that it didn't just sit on top. As an added bonus, he swiped away a patch of really thick ivy that we've been struggling with. When scheduling the pad, he did delay the installation due to weather issues, showing real concern that if we didn't delay at least a day, the installation would be less than the professional level he likes to leave with. I left for the morning to go to work and when I came home, the pad was ready for a shed. Bob shows a concern for his homeowner's well being in all matters and is very knowledgable. I fully recomend him to anyone seeking a similar install, and will consider Rock-a-fella's when ever I have a gravelly/patio/deck need in the future. "
"I originally found Mark on Angie's List, with all the great reviews, I had to check him out. I am a first time home buyer and Mark helped me with weighing my options with FHA or Conventional. We ended up going conventional with 5% down, which saved us a lot of money. I had another quote from another Mortgage lender, which I shared with Mark. I also told Mark we have 30 days to close, so he definitely had his work cut out for him. Mark ended up winning the job, he got me the best rate and cheapest closing costs. He also promised me 30 days closing, which I was very happy he was able to do. Everything went smoothly, and he was quick to pick up the phone and give me advice throughout the whole process. He was very upfront with everything, all of the costs were outlined and there were NO hidden fees at the closing table. I would highly recommend Mark, I am recommending all my family and friends to use him! "
"I reached out to the contractor and the communication was excellent! He was able to translate my ideas into an actionable plan and execute the build within the allotted timeframe. During the process, my asks continued to evolve and change and he communicated the impact on the project timelines when necessary. That is more important than many people will realize. As a business, a delay in the timeline can be costly. Historically, my experience with contractors has been hit or miss with more on the miss side. But thankfully that wasn't the case with SCS."
"They did very good. They were very professional and very fast. I was pleased with their work. I have an idea how I wanted it to be but I really liked what he like; I liked his ideas. They did a really nice job."
"Jeremy was both professional and timely. He followed the scope of work precisely and came in under budget. I will use him again for all of my remodeling. The work was beautiful!"
"KB was amazing! He knew exactly what to do and in a timely manner. He was very quick to take apart and put back together all furniture pieces, clean up all the mess as well.Very reasonably priced. He helped us move bedroom furniture from one location to another without one complaint. I would recommend him to my friends and family. He is very trustworthy and, knowledgeable. I thank Angie's List for giving him to us!!"

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.
While a romantic getaway in a vacation treehouse may sound appealing, building one to live in year-round comes with more challenges.

Due to the expansion of the tiny house movement, you can usually find tiny houses to buy in your state. Prices range considerably based on size, style, and type. If you’re looking for a tiny home that’s move-in ready, you may be able to find a good deal to buy or a prefab dealer near you.
Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.
