Tidewater Pro Build is a mid-size home remodeling company operating out of Chesapeake, VA. Our team does the majority of the leg work in the field and in so doing keeps subcontracting to a minimum. We provide flexible financing options.
"This whole experience went better than any other project we've had done. Caleb, the owner, spoke with me first and was willing to look at the bathroom the same day. I got a quote for just the shower and one for the entire bathroom. We decided to replace just the shower. I received weekly phone calls updating me on when they could start. They were able to start earlier than anticipated and they completed the work quickly and efficiently. I was trying to coordinate this from another state and they did a great job taking pictures and staying in touch. The shower looks amazing."

"June 5 paid him 11,432.10 to start the project. He did not start until around June 23. Starting the first week he ran into problems with his subcontractors because he decided to change their pay and that got them very upset. To the point they were fussing and cussing in my house over the phone at him. And talking amongst their self as subcontractors cussing and fussing about what he was doing Work got put on hole more than four or five times in this process. He would always tell me one thing and no one will show up for days and then when it seem like they were trying to get their act together, they wouldn’t show up for days or a week before getting more information on what’s going on. He would say he was coming to the house so many times and not show up. They knocked out walls and pulled out my cabinets by electrical sockets also in the kitchen area does not work so I’m using a extension cord to plug in my appliance to cook and to use whatever I need in the kitchen. The wall that he took out, he said it’s not a low bearing wall, but after he took it out, the ceiling started to crack. He had to get someone over here to seal up the ceiling. I’ve reached out to him through the months of July and August and have had conversations that he has apologized that the people that he hired are not coming through. The last time I talked to him was the last week of August and he has not picked up my phone call or text message since. I went to the cabinet company and recorded my conversation with them and he has not talked to him since July 11, but I have text messages that he keeps telling me that they keep pushing the order back. My conversation with the company they said he has not paid them. They have not talked to them since July 11 so he lied and stole my money. On July 29, I paid him 10,288.89. Per his contract I paid him 50% upfront and then another 45% after 45 days and then I have about $1300 left to pay once he was supposed to complete the project.He has left my house in shambles. There are exposed wires with caps and nails as well. There are holes in the floor in the kitchen, dust and clumps of sheet rock all over the floor. He told me he was supposed to have a cleaning company come and take care of my couches in the house with the dust is all over and they never came other than cleaning a bathroom and left And I haven’t heard from him since that day. So I am also getting a lawyer because he has not finished the job and has not paid the company so that mean he’s stolen the money. 29th of September would be one month since I’ve heard from him. They also broke my lamp and damaged my living room couch areas, which I have to pay to get professionally cleaned."

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.
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.
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.
The average cost to remodel a garage is around $18,000, ranging from $1,500 to $50,000, depending on size, materials, location, and other factors like plumbing and electrical. Garage remodels that include changing the roof and walls add significant expenses to the project. Plus, you can expect to pay about $1,400 for the building conversion permits. For a simple remodel, like painting interior walls and recoating the garage floor, it will cost about $2 to $5 per square foot.
