373 The project went very well! Elmer and his team arrived on time and efficiently assembled a beautiful patio. They rebuilt the rock walls and ensured that it had proper drainage from behind the wall. The walls look so much better they way they rebuilt them! The patio itself is gorgeous and fits...
Green landscape llcWe asked for Bolts to be installed, he instead installed straps. (He said that's the standard, our builder recommended bolts, thus we asked for bolts to be placed on top of the wall.) We also asked for two doors in a corner, he only put in one door. (He stated it didn't make sense to have two...
I believe it went quite well for a number of reasons...1.) Luis is very skilled with the heavy machinery as any professional is expected to be, but regardless who wants an unskilled operator with an excavator cutting their teeth 2 inches from your basement walls? 2.) Not all basement...
Overall, I am not happy with the job B-Dry did. If I had it to do over again, i would definitely get nothing done instead of paying them eight thousand dollars to reduce the value of my home. They have a great sales pitch, but don't be fooled. On the first trip out, they only did the job...

Most of the original structure was still intact including a large front screened porch, which we called "Dead Space."

Dollman Construction, IncJHI did an outstanding job replacing two basement retaining walls/stairs and pouring a beautiful concrete patio for us. Top notch quality work at a very fair price. We plan on retaining their services again very soon for additional home improvements.
We'd like to relay what a good experience we had working with M&F Concrete. We had a situation where we were up against the wall due to the criminal business practices of a prior concrete contractor. We called M&F Concrete in hopes we could salvage this project. Josh was quick to come...

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.
Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.
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.
Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from $6 to $14 per square foot. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. Removal of existing concrete, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.
