We have a 3 story house, but part is only 1.5 story with a steeply pitched roof. For the safety of his men they needed to use a scissor lift. In order to save us some money he delayed our job to coincide with another job where he needed to rent a scissor lift and we split the price with the other party. He also informed us that due to some of the inconsistencies he'd already seen in our home, he wasn't sure if there would be house-wrap... fortunately for us, there was indeed housewrap. While re-siding the home someone broke a sky-light that is on our porch. He replaced it at no additional charge. Also during that time his men smelled natural gas while working on one side of the house. I had smelled gas intermittently, but it was gone when I had someone come out. He called me and asked if they could investigate. He found where someone had used the incorrect pipe to run our gas line. He turned off all the gas in the home and corrected this problem. He was upfront about everything as we went along. The next year (2013) we had him re-roof the house as it started to leak in another area. While the roof was off one section of the house we had a sudden rainstorm. Water was pouring into the laundry room. I called Clyde and he and his roofing specialist came over immediately. The roofing specialist went up on the roof and fixed the problem. Each time his crew has come out they have been nothing but pleasant. They have cleaned up after themselves. We have found the occasional roofing shingle buried deep in my flower bushes, but not often. Once when the dog got out, they tried and tried to chase him down and get him back. Finally they did give up as it's a large dog made for running... and the dog came right back to them. They seemed like caring people. I was never worried about having his crew around my home with my children. I would use them again."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/tyler/c-b-builder-reviews-5273343.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"East Texas Fence","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Judy F."},"reviewBody":"The job, overall, went very well.

When our neighbor got involved and wanted more done to his yard, Jerry's wife, Becky, came out and took the information and worked with him. The men who installed the fence did an excellent job. They were very courteous about the plants that were in the way. I wanted a special gate built as an entry into the back yard. I found it on-line. Jerry told me that it would be no problem to have it built and gave us an estimate. He also said that he would not be the one to build it. He has a man who contracts with him that will do the work. I am more than satisfied with my beautiful gate. It is exactly what I wanted. The price you see above included price of building the gate.

I was leaving town before the job was finished and paid Garcia the balance due in full (my mistake!). I trusted him as I had a good experience with him on another job he did for me. When I returned home, I discovered that he had cut down several small trees that he was not supposed to cut down in order to facilitate him getting a tractor into my back yard. He also damaged my air condtioner's compressor foundation, as well as denting my storage building in the back yard. His tractor also caused damage to my neighbor's brick edging. Additionally, his workers had rolled several of the sections of the trees cut down a city drainage ditch that runs behind my property instead of hauling them off as they were supposed to do. Finally, he did not grind down one of the stumps in the front yard. He would not return my calls.

I am so impressed with the quality of work and professionalism that Melvin exhibits. I am even taking two cabinets he built with me when I sell my home because I am so pleased with the exquisite work done.
I so very highly recommend Melvin to all whether it's furniture building or home building. I have no doubt everyone will be pleased with the quality product that is provided. Great pricing and quality have been things I haven't found in previous sub-contractors. I have been blown away by Melvin's skill and professionalism.
My dad was a homebuilder, etc. so I know quality when I see it! "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/whitehouse/tomlin-construction-reviews-6447055.htm"},"position":10}]}

FAQs for home building projects in Frankston, TX
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The pros and cons or advantages and disadvantages of building a new house include:
Pros:
It’s all new, so you should have several years before you need to pay for major repairs like a new roof.
It’s under warranty, so many fixes within that warranty period should be covered.
You get to build the house to your specifications.
It can take a lot of work to stay within your budget.
Building can be more expensive than buying an existing house.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
Hiring a contractor to build your home is a big commitment. So be sure to ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective home builder:
How many years of experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you have worker’s compensation?
How long have you worked with your subcontractors?
How do you handle garbage and waste disposal?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Do you give free estimates?
Do you offer design services?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three references?
Can I see some of the work you’ve done?
