"Matt was great to work with and did a great job. I especially like the fact that Matt self performs all of the work with the assistance of a helper - he did not subcontract any work to others or work with a large crew. His pricing was fair and he finished the project in the time frame that he gave at the beginning. I recommend him highly."
"Frank and his crew built a new storage unit for us. It was important that the new structure look as close as possible to the existing cabin we had adjacent to the build. We went back and forth several times with Frank on the design of the building, and he was always most helpful and patient to ensuring our needs were being met. The end result is a beautiful storage unit that is consistent with the look and feel of our property. While Frank's team is terrific, it should also be known that Frank provides consistent oversight on the project which is helpful to ensure all is moving to plan. We give Frank our highest recommendation."
"We are super pleased with recent home renovations Trey and his team at CMT Construction did for us. Ceiling repairs were done with extra care to identify and address the root cause for the leaks coming from an attic vent. Pressure tested and real-world rainstorms proved their quality work. A combination of new window sash kits for severely damaged windows and repairs to others helped save us money. Fresh paint, caulking and wood repairs have our 19 year old house looking new again. The crew was very professional, punctual and communicated very well with us. It took about 5 days to get everything done, and we were kind of sad when it was time for the guys to wrap things up. We found CMT through an Angi bid and are so glad we picked these guys for the best combo of value, quality and timing. We would recommend them to others and are planning more painting and remodeling jobs with CMT."
"When no one else would accept the challenge of installing an exterior vent hood for my gas range, Greg stepped up. His team expertly worked through several challenges resulting in my dream hood and professional exhaust system. They also leveled my range, installed 4 new bathroom faucets and hung a very heavy mirror. Very happy with results and I am now thinking about my next projects. Thanks Greg and Scott!"
"Did a great job. Used good products, did not rush to complete. House looks better than when built 17 years ago. Were very professional from bid to finish. A little pricier than other bids but are licensed and insured for workers comp and liability. Would definitely hire again."
"Chris Price did a great job in a timely manner with a group of courteous, professional employees. I was pleased with the job and the clean-up afterwards. He is an honest young man with an excellent work ethic. I would recommend him to anyone needing roof work done and would use him again for any future roofing needs. "
"It went very well. Steve hired a subcontractor and they changed the date to get ahead of incoming rain. The subcontractor tore off 1 layer, re sheeted the roof with 30 grade felt paper, used a weather barrier all over the roof as extra protection against leaks, re installed the turbines, replaced the vent and roof louvers. And did a good job with the clean up. This is the third job I have used Steve for and have not been disappointed yet."
While it’s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.
It is technically possible to draw your own blueprints, but the process is extremely involved and really demands help from an expert. A professional architect has an understanding of design elements, interior design, the functionality of different rooms in a home, and how everything from furniture, outlets, and light switches should be laid out to serve you and your family best. Hiring an architect for blueprints can get expensive, but it’s the most responsible way to begin a new construction project. If you’re keen on DIYing, you could consider starting the process and then having a professional take over.
You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.
The country's most famous Neoclassical architecture appears in major government buildings and college campuses. The White House is unmistakably the most famous example, though the Capitol Building and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello are also iconic uses of the design.
Professionals optimize layouts, improve energy efficiency, and ensure structural safety and compliance.
