"I can’t say enough good things about Modern Structure Homes LLC! They completely transformed my bathroom and fixed the issues that another company left behind. They showed up on time, kept me informed throughout the process, and delivered exactly what they promised. The quality of their work is amazing, and they truly brought new life back to my home. Jonathan was a pleasure to work with! He was professional, honest, and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely recommend Modern Structure Homes LLC to anyone looking for quality work and a company that stands behind what they do!"

"The project has taken more time than anticipated due to material and subcontractor availability. The framing work was outstanding. Wall board work was also outstanding. Electrical work was very good, but the location of a bathroom fixture and chair lift power plug had to be moved because they were too low. The tile work in the bathroom (shower and floor), computer room (floor), entrance (floor) was outstanding, but I'd rather call it amazing. The plumbing work was very good, but parts availability delayed completion. Finishing work done by MJL was outstanding!!! Anthony is a master at detail. The rigor of MJL inspection of work by the subcontractors was very thorough and when issues were identified were recorded and worked off. Communication and follow up is a big deal for home improvement projects in this challenging environment of material, parts, and workforce shortages. MJL excelled in communication. We rated punctuality as good but would have rated them very good if there was an option. We highly recommend them. We have since booked two additional projects with MJL, a screened in porch and a garage redo. They start in late July. We expect both projects to go very well."
"Excellent. The service team that performed the job were very professional. They actually made some last minute modifications to the design that improved the overall appearance of the project. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for gutter repair or replacement."
"Domingo did a great job. He gave a great quote and work proceeded as planned. There was a hiccup with parts for the shower door but that was beyond his control. The work was excellent and I am very happy with the results"
"The project went well. The time frame had to change because of an emergency with the lead carpenter and another time for weather Apex was very communicative about it. The work was done quickly and well. And most importantly, Carlos, the owner, consulted me on everything from what posts and railings I wanted to problem solving an issue. I found this very refreshing as most contractors just decide what is easiest for them and go with it, without talking to you."
Hiring a contractor with knowledge about historic renovations and reviewing their previous work is important. You can find a historic home renovation contractor by calling your local historic preservation office, historical society, or any local historic museums nearby. The staff may have suggestions for specialized contractors who have worked for them. You can also ask them about historic home restorations that you have seen and liked in your area to get recommendations for pros.
Costs vary depending on project complexity and scope. Architects generally charge a percentage of the total budget or an hourly rate for their services.
Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.
The cost to draw house plans typically ranges from $800 to $2,700, with standard blueprints averaging around $1,800. For a custom home, the cost is higher, with blueprints often falling between $5,000 and $20,000, and potentially more for very complex designs. Several factors influence the total price, including the project's size, the number of rooms, the type of drawings required, and the architect's experience level. You may also need to pay a structural engineer to ensure building safety, particularly for custom homes.
While concrete walls do not need to "breathe" in the traditional sense of the word, they do require waterproofing and dehumidifying methods, particularly in basements below the water table. Concrete both contains moisture from its initial installation and can absorb water when exposed. Ensuring proper basement ventilation , installing a vapor barrier, and controlling water exposure are all important tasks.
