As the name suggests, we are ALL about construction and I have been doing construction personally since 1990. We have twelve full time employees plus a hand full of part time (depending on the size of the job); I use people that I know and trust to get the job done correctly. Class A licensed contractor; 2705131283A. There are no trip charges but things of this nature are taken into consideration when providing estimates. We don't offer any discounts but do offer competitive pricing; our discount is passed on through processing. As a professional I have managed both residential and commercial projects ranging from a few dollars to 60+ million dollars. We hope that people will give us an opportunity to make their home into their dream home and look forward to word of mouth to provide support through successful completion of work.

"Working with Steve the owner got contentious. He provided a quote but did not outline the payment schedule. When I questioned it once, he threatened to pull the person on the job. I was quite surprised as it was a job being paid by insurance. He was totally unprofessional and I did not respect him after that. Quality of the work is average. The texture in bathroom needed to be redone as it was inconsistent and did not even come close to the existing texture on the other walls. I was surprised he agreed to redoing that without cost to me."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Any straightforward rectangular home layout is more uncomplicated than custom rooms, additions, or stylistic features. In stock plans, single-story ranch homes, cape cods, and colonials are common. Layouts with a single roof ridge are easier to build than those with multiple dormers, chimneys, or ridges.

While a log cabin is often less expensive to build than a typical home, cabins actually have a similar cost per square foot. The main difference affecting price is that log cabins tend to be much smaller than traditional homes. For instance, many cabins are about 500 square feet, versus a traditional house which averages between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet.

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. 

As long as you pull the appropriate permits to build your ADU, it will contribute to your property’s total livable square footage. This is even true for basement conversion ADUs despite the living area sitting below grade. Keep in mind that permanent improvements, especially those that add square footage, tend to increase your home value, which can affect your property taxes.

An ADU is a section of your home that you can feasibly use to house guests or even tenants. Pool houses can be ADUs if they include a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom, but smaller pool houses and pool sheds are more for the homeowner to get more enjoyment out of their pool than for guests.
