"Disgusted Customers Rick Fisher d.b.a. Before and After Home Improvement I am only giving a 1 star because I cannot go any lower. If you want professional and courteous service that also includes communication about delays and crew no shows, do not hire Rick Fisher and Before and After Home Improvement. My wife and I hired Rick Fisher and his company in the latter part of June 2018, to build a stamped concrete patio; a small composite deck; and a pergola with the electrical kit for the ceiling fan. The project finally began on August 7, 2018, and was completed around August 28, 2018. We paid Rick approximately $26,000 in 3 timely installments according to the contract. We exceeded our budget on this project because we were impressed with the pictures of Rick’s previous projects and his reviews. “Don’t believe the hype”. It all started with Rick not being able to obtain the county permit for the pergola due to his drawing which lacked specificity to the dimensions and materials used so the structure would be able to withstand strong winds. Rick advised me the permit office required him to hire an engineer which I would need to pay for him to subcontract to provide that information for his drawing to resubmit to the county permit office. Rick never mentioned this to us before we signed the contract, nor was it stipulated in the contract. Rick’s solution was pay for an engineer or don’t do the pergola. I took initiative to contact the permit office and speak with the manager to arrange a meeting with her and Rick. She was able to assist Rick and get the permit approved without the need for an engineer which would have been at my expense. During the course of this project, my wife and I spent entirely too much time, energy, and efforts addressing issues with Rick relative to his lack of responsiveness and doing the job he said he would. These issues were within his span of control and frankly he failed miserably. The materials are of a decent quality, which is why the pictures look great on the web, however; the customer service, commitment to doing the job right is a serious problem. Rick says he only does one job at a time and he will be on the job site everyday to ensure things are done to standard. This was simply not true. Rick has a lot of projects going on and he rarely came by our home. He was not responsive to my calls or text messages regarding his presence and multiple other issues that required communication. Rick told me the job was going fine because he saw the pictures of what was being done. I demanded that he come by my home to physically inspect the progress. He came by and some adjustments were required. Rick does not give you specific days or times when he will come by even when you are requesting a specific day or time. I had to send multiple text messages and calls to get him to do what he initially said he would do. The project was completed on August 28, 2018. On October 7, 2018, I contacted Rick regarding the rust on the staples holding down the electric cord on top of the pergola. Instead of utilizing galvanized staples or some material that does not rust as a result of inclement weather, his crew used regular staples to hold down the electric cord. Now I have rust running along the top of this expensive pergola that we paid Rick about $8,500 to build. The electrical kit was an additional $1,500 approximately. Rick has not come by my home to take care of this issue as of yet. We have a manufactures warranty on the material but nothing from Rick covering us on the workmanship of the project. On October 18, 2018, he sent someone allegedly from his crew to resolve the issue, however; the worker was not prepared to resolve the issue and was going to replace the staples with more of the same staples. Complete Nonsense! I advised Rick this was unacceptable. The deficiency would not take more than 2 hours to resolve, but Rick refuses to come out and take care of it. It’s such a small job, I cannot get another company to come out to do the repair because it’s not feasible. One reputable contractor said he cannot believe the company who did the work did not have the professional common courtesy to fix the problem. In addition to this, when Rick’s crew excavated the yard to lay the patio, they were supposed to leave a trench sufficient for water to flow into the storm drain. Now we have standing water in the yard when it rains. The yard had a trench before they began excavating and we had no issues with standing water. It’s going to cost me $1,000 to have this problem resolved. Perhaps it’s all in the name: Before and After Home Improvement. Beware, you will need repairs Before and After Home Improvement allegedly completes your project!"

"It is my pleasure to review DMV kitchen and bath. They did an outstanding job from conception through to the last details in finishing an extensive series of renovations - complete kitchen tear-down and renovation, master bathroom and closet teardown and renovation, two bathroom complete retiling/renovation, building two new rooms out of a very large basement, and replacing two forced air HVAC systems - they managed all aspects including proper construction permits. They did high-quality work at a very good price. They did an outstanding job with the work, with high attention to detail. Their communication was very strong from beginning to finish, their initial plan recommendations were excellent, they made several recommendations to not only make the job better, but also make it more cost effective along the way. They were reliable and consistent, and very genuine, "real" people. I have to imagine there will be very high demand for their services. I can’t recommend highly enough. Very timely, excellent communication, quick and high-quality professional work at a competitive price."

Custom home building FAQs

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. 

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.

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 average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200

The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour. 

Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
