"I recommend this wonderful company without any hesitation. I first contacted Wood Trades LLC seeking a deck quote in September 2024, and John and Karin came out the very next day. From day one, John and Karin provided impeccable service. I cannot say enough wonderful things about their communication, transparency, honestly, and reliability. All current insurance/contractor licenses were provided up front, and any change in cost was documented through clear contracts. In addition, they patiently navigated me through a difficult permitting process from start to finish. Once the work was started, I had a gorgeous new deck in just over one week. I cannot thank this company enough for gaining, and more importantly, maintaining my trust through this project. I certainly look forward to working with Wood Trades again, and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking high quality results from a wonderful company. Exceeded expectations!"

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."

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"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

A construction lien results from unpaid services. For instance, if a homeowner hires a contractor to do a large renovation on their home and then fails to pay for the services and materials, the contractor can take out a lien on the property. This lien is a legal claim against the property for the amount of money owed. If the homeowner does not pay their debt, the lien may stay on the title until the homeowner tries to sell and cannot do so until the title is cleared.

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.

Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor’s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that the builder you’re considering holds all the proper licenses.

It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.

Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they’re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior.
