"I am going to be as honest as possible to help out the next person in their decision to hire him. First and foremost he is a great guy and friendly, he knows what he is doing and his workmanship is top notch. I initially hired him for a patio / porch and then a 3car garage. When he started it was going well and after I paid him a little more so he could get ahead, he would run out of material and would just leave without saying anything. His work was impressive but I felt he became complacent and started cutting corners because he ran out of money to buy materials. As an example: Not planning ahead, he left a portion of my roof exposed and the rain went into my home causing considerable sheet rock and insulation damage. He could have covered it to prevent some of the damage but his response was â I canâ t control the weatherâ . That was disappointing as I had to cover that bill myself. On the 3 car garage, I ran into the same problem. He started slowing down I was a little disappointed with the timelines. He would show up and work a few hours then leave. Despite me asking for a blueprint or plan. He failed to provide one. On several occasions he ran out of material and the work was delayed. The workers he had would come to me and say they would have to leave because there was no more material. I did notice that when you asked him questions he would get a little defensive. Unfortunately some of his hard work was tarnished by his lack of planning despite being paid in advance. Half of my structure remained exposed due to lack of planning on his part. Towards the end of the project he was piecing boards together and using left over scraps as patch up work. I did question him on a few things like hauling of the leftover material but he referred to the contract and said it was not in the contract. However, he was willing to charge me more money to get it removed. In order to end in good terms, I just wanted him to finish what he started and paid him to avoid further disappointment. I still have left over material to haul away, a few areas to patch, tape and seal. I would recommend him because of the skill he has however, I may or may not hire him again. I would let the next person know to MAKE SURE you read the contract very carefully, ask questions and request plans with a timeline or you will have to hire other people to finish his work. I have plenty of pictures to share if interested."

Total Texas foundation repair systems include cracked slab repair, plumbing and construction. Working with realtors and commercial property owners. Foundation repairs start with an estimate and come with a lifetime transferable warranty.

"We have been in our current (and first ever) home for just over a year. After tons and tons of heavy rains this spring, hairline cracks and nail pops abounded. I, terrified and generally anxious anyway, assumed the worst: our foundation was in shambles and our house was obviously trying to fall into a sink hole. Fortunately, the previous owners had alerted us to foundation repairs and we were able to get the warranty transferred to us upon purchase of our home. I called foundation who worked with me to schedule an appointment. Carl Adams came out right on time. He explained what he was doing and how his machine worked to measure the level of my foundation. He explained to me the work that had been done previously, helped me identify foundation work that had been done by someone else (oh my gosh) and explained to me where to look with my city to see if a work permit had been filed on my property so I could figure out when those were done. He was not only extremely professional and knowledgeable, but was personal and kind in assuaging my greatest fears. My house is fine. He took the time to really explain things, he made notes of what other information to send me (real signs to look for, how to care for my foundation, etc.) I cannot emphasize how my anxiety I had been experiencing over what (thankfully) amounted to nothing. I sincerely appreciate the time and kindness and feel that he went beyond expectations to take a little extra time to teach me how to be a sane and competent home owner (at least when it comes to foundations!)"

For 40 years, Bold Roofing has installed more than 36,000 roofing systems in the Dallas - Fort Worth metroplex with over 3,150 in 2012 alone. We exceed expectations by providing exceptional workmanship, dedication to continued professionalism, promote positive atmosphere, award hard work ethic, never cut corners & spare no expense. We hand nail all shingles and we have our own roofing crews. We've been a certified contractor with GAF since 2004. Additional contact name - Robert Bold. Award winning.

"After a great night of Mexican food and margaritas at Funky Baja, we pulled up to our house right as a massive hail storm hit our neighborhood. Windows broke, cars were damaged and yes, our roof was totaled. Once the weather moved out and the sun came up the next day Brent Bolte with Bold Roofing was at our home, up on the roof and calming our nerves. He was thorough in his evaluation, he worked with us and our insurance agency to ensure we were getting the coverage we needed, he was transparent in his communication, and most importantly Brent showed up on time, every time we were scheduled to meet. Brent even took the time to drive around our neighborhood with my wife to look at different shingle color options in an effort to ensure we were happy with the color we chose. Bold Roofing and Brent are exactly who you need to call. Mathew & Lisa Long"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between $20,000 and $50,000 on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it’s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for $3,000, while others cost upwards of $150,000.

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.

The most significant expense when building a barndominium is constructing the metal shell, which includes the roof, doors, and windows. Additional exterior components impacting the overall cost include metal siding and the concrete foundation.
