"Covid struck crew between prep and concrete pour. Communications stopped and I was left wondering if project was ever going to be completed. I had to continuously solicit information from Travis. Contractors job is to keep customer informed."
"Black Trident Contracting contacted me right away, and I really appreciate that. Unfortunately, due to unexpected costs, I had to cancel the project."
"I have worked with Skymont on several projects, as a Real Estate agent, and as a homeowner. They were very professional, well priced, and efficient! Highly recommend using Skymont for any size project!"
"Great group of people. Professional and efficient, and very respectful in my home during the completion of this project. Kitchen remodel turned out perfect and I love it. Really enjoy working with these guys and would 100% hire them again."
"Jamison and Matt were great to work with. They were generous with their time in coming out and talking through what I needed to do to repair the gutters on my house and fix our drainage issues. Matt was very knowledgeable about drainage issues. They quoted me the best price among other bidders and explained the benefits of repairing my gutters vs the benefits of replacing them. Jamison knows his stuff when it comes to gutters and the different guard systems out there. I went with the repair option and saved a fair amount of money. It did take a few weeks for us to get the workers out here to do the work, but when they did make out here, they were polite, professional, and did great work and got it all done in a day. I'd happily work with Monster Home Services again."
"We were left in quite the pickle when our contractor left his work half done and couldn't be contacted. Our home was terribly effected by the tornado in December, and we've been in the trenches ever since. "You can get out of the trenches now and we'll get in there for you" is a direct quote from them. They have not disappointed. Since Steve, Jerold, and Elizabeth have came into our lives, we've been able to breath much easier. From bringing us a gift basket of movies, DVD player, candy, and popcorn... to answering every silly question we have. No messages or calls go unanswered. I would HIGHLY recommend them for anything you need."
"I am amazed at how knowledgeable and efficient Clifford and his crew work. They did an amazing job for me and as a REALTOR. I have hired them for another job to help make repairs for my listing. I would highly recommend them."
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.
A floor plan is a less detailed illustration showing a building or room's layout from above, including elements like windows, doors, walls, and fixtures. It offers a simplified view for homeowners. In contrast, a blueprint is a more detailed, to-scale architectural drawing that includes all parts of the building plans, such as structural elements, construction details, and utility schematics. While a floor plan can be a type of view within a blueprint, the complete blueprint contains all the necessary details to turn the plan into a reality.
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.
You don’t have to commit to a complete home renovation to age in place comfortably—those can get pricey. Instead, focus on a few impactful changes. Consider adding a stair lift or installing ramps to eliminate barriers. Upgrading to non-slip flooring can prevent falls while adding brighter lighting can improve visibility throughout your home. These thoughtful updates can make your home much easier to navigate and enhance your comfort and safety without the stress and cost of a complete overhaul.
