"I wasn't able to select all of the work that Bedford Builders did, but I am delighted with the work they completed for my 227-year-old house... kitchen renovation, master bath, 36 windows replaced, but so much more as this old lady needed a lot of structural work. I appreciated the attention to detail and the daily communications. I felt like I knew what was going on, good, bad, or indifferent. I have had several major reno projects done in the past. This one is top of the list based on the process and the results."

My name is Nektarios "Nick" Arsenis and I am the proud owner of Naxos Electric. My company is named after the island I was born and raised on in Greece. It was there at the early age of 15 that I began my electrical career, which I continued to pursue when I came to the USA in 2000. Naxos Electric is founded on the same ethics and values that I was raised with: reliability, great communication, integrity and quality work. I strongly believe in giving my absolute best on all projects and look forward to assisting you with your next task or project. We are fully licensed and insured. Call us today at (401) 330-0175 for a free estimate!

"Aside from the fact that my lights are working now, I want to say how much I appreciate Nick's professionalism and prompt attention to my problem. The power outage was in an office area that I needed access to for work in the evening and Nick (hearing the desperation in my voice) moved his schedule around and was willing to come to my home 90 minutes later. It was after hours and he was willing to do me a great kindness at a reasonable cost. What more could you ask?"

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

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 new construction using a construction loan or a construction-to-permanent loan, or you can use a home equity line of credit or a cash-out refinance if you’re building a second home. Some mortgagors may have restrictions on DIY house builds, so be sure to check that you can get financing before starting your project.

There are several different steps in the pole barn building process. First, you’ll need construction plans, which you’ll use to obtain permits. Then, you can clear the land so it’s suitable for building and installing the foundation. Your contractor will frame the barn using large poles, then rough in the plumbing and electricity (if your barn has those elements) before finishing the interior, adding siding, and installing the roof. 

After that, they’ll finish up the electrical work and plumbing and add your windows and doors. You may have a few other finishing jobs to do like painting or waterproofing.

It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes hiring a general contractor to build a house, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.
