"Due to damage to the kitchen floor and a cabinet in my home, I needed to have a new floor installed. I also decided to have the flooring in the adjacent dining room and a nearby powder room replaced while having the work done. I chose KDK Home Improvements after getting work estimates from three different contractors. When he visited to provide an estimate, Dave was polite, answered all my questions, and gave helpful suggestions about the work. Among the contractors that I contacted, Dave was the best at providing the information I wanted without being pushy. His pricing was competitive with the others, but his demeanor and customer service helped me to come to an easy decision to choose KDK. Once work began, Dave and his crew were hard working, professional and courteous. The quality of their work was excellent, and Dave was diligent about keeping me and my wife informed about his progress. Once the old, damaged floor was removed in the kitchen, it was discovered that there was damage to the subfloor and a portion of the wall that extended beyond our expectation. Dave was quick to provide an additional estimate on the new work and complete the repairs. Throughout the project I was satisfied that the work was being completed in a timely fashion. Dave was always available via phone and email. On completion of the project, the work and prep areas were thoroughly cleaned by Dave and his crew. Should I need further work on other areas of the house, I will definitely contact KDK Home Improvements again."
"We were to Flood Crew from our property management company, and found their reviews on Angie’s List. The crew arrived on time, did a great job, and our carpet’s look like new."
"The floors looked better then when I purchased the house. Was really happy with the results and having them come back for more work and even want them to work for other people I know. Definitely recommend them if you need work done right the first time."
"Jose Sosa is great at tiling. He uses high quality materials and his understanding of plumbing & skill with tiling is outstanding. He worked on my guest bath 8 years ago and I have not had any issues since. I called him back for my master bath remodeling. Highly recommend him for any project involving tiles."
"The job went great! Livengood Electric really shined when it came to getting this job done. He went out of his way to make sure we had a beautiful new electrical service that will last for years to come. And also we will be ready next time the power goes out! Thanks again Jake, you did a great job!"
"It was a challenge looking for someone to build a deck without charging us a fortune. After reading reviews, I contacted Arundel WW and got their prompt response. Keith came over later the same day and discussed the project in detail, we settled on a price and signed a contract the very next day. Keith and his team are thorough professionals and finished the job. We had a great experience working with Keith and Ann. Our project got started and finished on time. Due to his quality of work and professionalism I have referred him to my family and friends as well. I will definitely hire him again for future projects. "
"Carlos and his team were amazing! They installed a new Ikea kitchen and they did not cut and corners. They were professional, efficient and did quality work. Very happy with their service and happier with how my new kitchen turned out. Highly recommend!"
"Highly Recommend - Excellent Builder! Oldaker services did an outstanding job building our home! From start to finish, they were professional, detail-oriented, and committed to quality. The craftsmanship is exceptional, and they kept us informed throughout the process. The project was completed on time and within budget. Wayne is a reliable and skilled builder!"
Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.
Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you’d spend to build a standard home. However, green homes can save you money on your utility bills by consuming less energy or creating energy using solar panels or wind turbines on-site. They’re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run.
A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.
A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.
