834 I hired Terry to construct practically all the furniture in my entire 4 bedroom rental home as I just did not have the time to build all of it myself. I had all of it delivered in boxes from online furniture shopping. Terry worked 10 hours a day for 3 total days to construct every piece of...
Good Builders, Terrible Customer Service. If you like the rebate/refund they offer at sale time - expect to be frequently bothered to sign for a smaller one over and over. A contract is a contract, except when Power Home Solar wants to keep their money. Their "concierge" service can't...
We worked with Rising Tide Builders while rebuilding our home after hurricane Florence. They were able to come out and look at our home within 1 or 2 days of calling- Rising Tide came in and back tracked to fix poor work from a previous contractor- and did it quickly. Everything completed was...
Rising Tide Builders LLCAfter our new home was built, we asked Matt if he could custom build a shed to match the house, and he was able to do so for a fabulous building. We got a 16'x20' completely floored, framed and with windows shed that matches the look of our home exactly. Same vinyl siding, same shingles,...
The guys were very efficient, cleaned up very well and did a excellent job building the new deck. The owner is very easy to work with. Just needed to get on their calendar early as they get busy. Would use them again.
COMPTON CONTRACTING INC.At first, our experience with CSP Contracting was good.

The deck he built looked beautiful...

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."

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
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.
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.
