Other contractors that I have worked with have resisted signing anything. At my request, Mr. Rugg sub-contracted the excavation work rather than me having to meet with a series of contractors and come to an independant agreement and then coordinate the work between the two trades. This arrangment seemed to work well. I am pleased with the quality of the work as well as the final clean-up of the site. Overall a very good experience working with Mr. Rugg.

Well, that was the last I heard of her. I waited 2 weeks and then emailed the general email address that is listed on their website. The person who replied to that email said they would check with the kitchen designer and have her get back to me. Well I never heard from them again. She wasted an hour of my day on a Saturday and I ended up spending $16,000 on cabinets elsewhere. I also purchased my 36" professional range from a different dealer as well. I'm not sure how this store stays in business when they wont even get back to their potential customers like they promised they would.

I was appreciative of the fact that they were extremely careful (moreso than I am, sometimes), making sure nothing got damaged or damaged the walls in either home. The guys managed to do the whole move in 2 1/2 hours break-down to put-up, and they did so having to sometimes dodge our excitable and very active dog (who was able to get herself out of the basement repeatedly). When they set furniture into our new home, they had a good eye for how things looked. They said they do a lot of work for interior designers, which is what helps them with the good eye and being very careful. They did bring 3 people rather than 2 and charged a 3-person rate, but I am sure they got the move done a lot faster with 3 and, I think, probably actually saved us money.

"I had an old, massive chimney built years ago with the wrong brick, it was crumbling off my house. Most chimney repair contractors were quoting me upwards of 30, 40, 50k. Justin worked with me to find a solution which would cost me less than half of that and still ensure the longevity and safety of my chimney/house. It took a while to get done, we had to wait for the right weather but the outcome was fantastic and working with Justin was an easy, smooth and enjoyable process."

FAQs for residential design projects in Colchester, VT
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 cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
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.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
