"We got all we asked for and more from Huezo's Construction. Fair pricing, quality work in every way, promises kept, PLUS the job was done ahead of schedule. They say you can't have it done right, done quickly, and done affordably.... well with Huezos Construction, we hit the lottery and got all three!"

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

"Overall, David and team did a great job building these cabinets! It was done and installed much quicker than anticipated. My only complaint would be communication. He was very difficult to get in touch with at times despite many messages sent"

We have been reluctant to write this review.  If we were independently wealthy, we would have JL Home Improvement on personal retainer and you'd never have the opportunity to hire the company that may well be the best kept secret in Lynchburg. Alas, our lottery number has not come up, so let us tell you about these folks.

We are dedicated DIY'ers. We had bad experiences with two different contactors early on, and were reluctant to try again. But drywall? Well, that's a skill we don't have. So we talked to JLHI about putting up drywall in an upstairs bedroom. After talking to them, we decided to have them put up the trim. Just to see. So we did. The resulting work was excellent. They understood our devotion to our 100+ year old house, and we could not be happier with the work done.

They are now working in our main living area, which poses multiple and complex challenges. The work - from everyone involved - is nothing less than exceptional. Each person has multiple areas of expertise, and all have contributed to work that will last for another 100 years.  These people are craftsmen; they care about the quality of their work and they will not stop until we are happy with the product.  The crew - often the unknown when hiring a contractor - are extraordinary. They arrive, work hard all day, clean up after, and try hard to minimize the disruption that renovations inevitably engender.

JL Home Improvement may not be your lowest bid. But if you want the best possible work at a fair price, done by people who love and care about what they do - well, you just can't do any better.

But you'd better hurry - our lottery number is bound to come up one day soon.

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:

  • Location of your home and the living cost in the area

  • Type of foundation and framing you choose

  • Quality of the building materials

  • Footprint and layout of the house

  • Number of stories

  • Builder’s experience

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.
