167 I contacted him via his listed contact info and requested an estimate on building a door from my kitchen to the back yard. He was very hesitant to help me, despite being listed as a home contractor, and, after arranging a window of several hours he never showed up!
Overall an outstanding experience. I arrived two minutes after the appointment time and Tom had already been on the roof inspecting the tiles and chimney, and had inspected the outside of the house. When I showed up he already had taken pictures and gathered other documentation. Throughout...
Secure Home Inspections LLCTHe contractor was prompt and courteous. He used e-mail, phone and in person visits to establish what our desires were. He came up with a general, but sufficient, written estimate for the price, given the scope of work. The contractor was knowledgeable and explained his work in great detail...
The builder worked with us from start to finish - listening to our wants for a house plan - to drawing them up and even making changes on site to suit our needs.
Over 35 years of residential general contracting experience in the Charlottesville and surrounding area. We complete projects that span bathroom remodels, basement renovations, and building detached garages and home additions. We follow a process that provides transparent pricing every step of the way. Working closely with our longstanding subcontractors, we are committed to completing our projects professionally, within budget and in a timely manner.
"They did the job right and were very thorough and courteous. It was obvious that they were juggling my project with other projects and that was sometimes annoying. But they handled the two major changes (new color of paint and adding shower doors) very well. They even complimented me on the new paint color because it broke up the monotony of the first color choice and the new color is very pretty. Great experience!"

"My wife and I had a great experience dealing with Richards’ Homes and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for an honest experienced builder that takes great pride in their work. We built a second home on a mountain side in Front Royal so we were not able to visit as often as we would have liked to see the progress being made. But we were always pleased with the craftsmanship and the progress when we visited. The process was smooth with just a few hiccups along the way. Mr. Richard treated my home as if it was his own making sure everything was done correctly. At times, I felt like his trades and subs often went above and beyond and gave me the best service possible. Overall, we are very pleased with the workmanship and the completed product exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you for the beautiful new home, we are very proud of it. It is everything we wanted!"

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
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.
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.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
