The second time, her mistake caused me to buy an extra medicine cabinet that I could not use and could not return. She tried to blame the contractor by saying he had ordered the items, but I corrected her by pointing out she had given him the dimensions. I asked her if she would refund my money. She said yes, she would, if the mistake was hers, but she wanting to talk to the contractor first. I never heard from her again, despite repeated attempts to contact her. I am stuck with a useless $800 medicine cabinet. I would not use her services again.

They do excellent work, but their scheduling, callback and calendar is variable, perhaps due to construction delays or other booking preferences they control. I have had 3 large roofing projects done by them, they are expensive and I probably should have gotten more quotes from other companies. My last project replaced a large slate roof over two separate seasons (one side, then the other) and the total came to about $40K. Two skylights were added late in the contract, and I wound up doing a good amount work myself (interior finish). An unused chimney was contracted to be topped off in metal, but they forgot and I did not know this until a huge rainstorm brought water down the chimney, doing about $700 in interior wall damage, which they disavowed any responsibility for, nor fixed. They did later add the metal cap, begrudgingly. The slate job required adding 6 rows of red slate in the middle of a gray field pattern to match the previous design. Oddly, they brought, trimmed and stacked all the reds on the roof, only installed two rows, then packed them all out, probably to another job. I actually do recommend Consumer Construction to anyone who knows how to write a dense, thorough contract, then get the final job inspected and make your last payment contingent on getting everything you ordered, when you expected it to be done. Assigning penalties to dates missed would be wise with this company, but they probably would not sign a contract with these stipulations against them. Then again, if you don't have a tight time schedule, this company would be a reasonable recommendation.

Place Painting and about Joshua, the owner. His company had come recommended from neighbors after he painted two other housed in my neighborhood. His work was clearly good, the neighbors said his prices were reasonable and that he was both prompt and reliable. When I contacted Joshua regarding my paint job, I explained that I had the same house model as one of the neighborhood houses that he had already produced a bid for. Based on this information, he sent me a bid within 24 hours. When I changed the color-scheme and added a fourth color, he sent an updated bid again within 24 hours. Joshua also came out to visit and discuss colors and design the following week. He provided options (and recommendations when requested) about where to apply the two accent colors I wanted to use. He also recommended slight tone changes of two of my four colors....recommendations that I will always be grateful for. We discussed some possible interior paint jobs and, once again, the bids were in my in-box quickly (48 hours). Once the details were set, we agreed upon a start date. Joshua had a delay at another job and called to ask if he could come 3 days early. He showed up with an assistant each morning by 8am. Both he and his assistant were friendly and answered any questions I had about the job. When, halfway through the project, I got nervous about a color choice, Joshua discussed all my options for changing colors and helped me make a change that would not cost me any more money. He also went ahead and painted the front of the house in all four colors, which wasn't scheduled to be painted until the following day, so that I could visualize the final look and feel comfortable with my decisions. The final paint job was excellent. I really appreciated that Joshua brought me on a final walk-through of the job to look for any areas that might need a touch up. There were a few and he fixed them quickly and well. Both he and his assistant did an excellent clean-up around the property. I would not hesitate to recommend Joshua and J. Place Painting to friends and I will be using his company for interior painting in the future. His prices were reasonable, he was very reliable and skilled and I always felt like it was important to him that I was happy with his work.

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).

They said they do a lot of work for interior designers, which is what helps them with the good eye and being very careful.

Solid professional work. I had Jason put in two tricky handrails down a couple of old, stairways leading to the basement in this 1856 vintage duplex. He had to overcome odd angles, failing brick, a post in the way and do it all up to Burlington code. Completed the job in 5 hours including...

FAQs for residential design projects in Cornwall, 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.
