For 50 years, since 1966 to be exact, Hobbs Door Service has provided installation and repair service for overhead garage doors and electric garage door openers to the Tidewater (Hampton Roads) market. It is our goal to provide prompt and efficient service. We will be glad to provide an estimate of costs associated with a replacement or repair on the phone. We use no gimmicks in our pricing.

"I called early in the morning and the work was completed that afternoon. The service was excellent and the technician, Chris, was friendly and professional. Unlike other door companies I have had over the years, they did not try to up sell me on service or parts that I did not need. I thought the price was very fair and I would definitely hire them again. Overall, an excellent experience."

"Arrived on time, crew was fabulous. Did exactly what they said they would do in the time frame promised. Yard was left as clean as they found it. Roof looks fabulous.

If a house gutter can be considered "beautiful", these meet that criteria."

A1 Roofing & Construction is independently owned and has been serving Newport County and beyond for over 14 years. We are GAF Master Elite Roofers, an award given to less than 2% of roofers nationwide. We are also certified in commercial roofing and skylight installation + have an inhouse team of custom metal experts. Ask about construction rentals including dumpsters, containers, and lifts. We can also help you go Solar!

"In March, a winter storm badly damaged our roof. It needed to be replaced. Completely at a loss, I started searching for a roofing company. Never having done this before, it was a daunting task. Have you ever looked for a roofing contractor?? The BBB lists 387 contractors near our address! We got several estimates, and each one had something about it that was a deal breaker. Finally, a friend recommended A1 Roofing and Construction. I called them, and Sean Napolitano called me back immediately. Within a couple of days, Sean had someone come out and inspect the roof and see what was required. He came out to the house and sat down with me and went over the estimate, answering any and all questions I had. The estimate was concise, with no hidden issues. We agreed to go ahead with Early on the day of the appointment, a dumpster was delivered. The driver placed wood beneath it to protect the driveway, and placed it so that we could still get in and out of our garage. The crew arrived promptly at 7, and the work began. The front and the back of the house were tarped, as was our in ground pool. They even moved the deck furniture out of the way, just in case. They worked methodically and very professionally, with a project manager here the whole time. He answered my questions and pitched in with the crew to get the job done! This group worked well together, very efficiently. I have to admit, I was a little nervous at first. The yard was covered with all of the equipment and supplies that they needed to complete the job. I mean covered! I really didn’t need to worry… By 2:30, the job was finished. The crew was gone, and you never would have known they were here except for the beautiful (yes, beautiful!) new roof. Equipment and tarps were gone. The yard was in better shape than when they came! The yard furniture was put back. Not a shred of trash, a stray nail-nothing remained. About an hour later, A1 picked up their (now full) dumpster. The driver picked it up, packed up the wood it was sitting on, pulled the truck into the street, picked up any stray nails from where the dumpster was sitting, and blew off the driveway! Amazing! I would recommend A1 Roofing and Construction without reservation. The things that set them apart from the very beginning were; a very fair price, a complete explanation of what work was being performed both verbally and in writing, the 50 year warranty on the materials and the 12 year warranty on their workmanship, and, last but not least, their stellar reputation. The new roof looks great. It has Architectural Shingles that give the roof a look of depth. A1’s stellar reputation, in my eyes, is richly deserved. Thank you very much Sean Napolitano and Company! All the Best, Dianne Hutton"

FAQs for home building projects in Cranston, RI

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.

The pros and cons or advantages and disadvantages of building a new house include:

Pros:

  • It’s all new, so you should have several years before you need to pay for major repairs like a new roof. 

  • It’s under warranty, so many fixes within that warranty period should be covered.

  • You get to build the house to your specifications.

Cons:

  • You have to make a LOT of decisions.

  • You will almost certainly deal with building delays.

  • It can take a lot of work to stay within your budget.

  • Building can be more expensive than buying an existing house.

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.

Hiring a contractor to build your home is a big commitment. So be sure to ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective home builder:

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

  • Do you have worker’s compensation?

  • How long have you worked with your subcontractors?

  • How do you handle garbage and waste disposal?

  • Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Do you give free estimates?

  • Do you offer design services?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • Can you provide at least three references?

  • Can I see some of the work you’ve done?
