The contractor was exceptionally nice and listened to the scope of work I wanted, which was new formica countertops, big stainless steel sink, new disposal, and new pull down facuet, two soap dispensers, and repair the exhaust vent above my microwave. A week went by and I decided to give the contractor a call. He told me he had e-mailed me a quote but I had not received it. He e-mailed the quote again and I it looked like a reasonable amount to me, so I agreed to have them do the work. They were johnny one the spot for getting me to pick out a countertop from a website. They required half of the quote before the work started and came by the next day to get my check, but they had no official contract for me to sign, nor did I get a receipt for the check I gave him. After that I never heard from them for about a week and a half. I called them to inquire when they were planning on starting the work and they said they were about to call me and their target estimated date was the 3rd of March. He said he would give me a couple of days warning before starting the job. As it turned out I had to call them again a couple of days before March 3 as they had not contacted me. As it turned out they were planning on coming on March 4th. On March 4th he and his sons arrived with the new sink, formica, and garbage disposal. The work seemed to go very well but as the backsplach had not been discussed it was decided to install a row of tiles along the countertop which was better than having the formica as before. I went with the contractor to the local home improvement store to pick out the tiles. While there I picked out a new faucet and an additional soap dispenser. Back home everything was installed and was beautiul. The work on the vent was not done and they were going to come by the next day to finish up. I asked if he wanted a check for half of the remaining balance which he required before the actual beginning of the job and the rest at the end as they were about done. That is when he told me that he had not figured in a new faucet or the additional soap dispensers, but that he would split the cost with me. I was shocked as we had discussed that in the scope of work, but sure enough on the e-mailed quote there was no mention of the pull down faucet or soap dispensers. He requested that I pay all of the remaining balance except for $100 which I could pay him the next day when they came to fix the venting. The next morning I noticed the formica trim had pulled away from the sloping corners in front of the sink. I immediately called the contractor to tell him not to throw the scraps away of the counter top as there was an issue. They came and reworked the trim around the countertop and fixed my venting over the stove. He had to leave clamps on the corners and said they would come by one day to get them but to leave them on for at least 12 hours. I paid the remaining $100. The following day was the first time using my dishwasher since the install and was shocked when the dishwasher started draining through the overflow on my sink! Again I called the contractor and he immediately came. He asked me if water ever drained through the overflow before and I said it never had. He tightened down the overflow and the soap dispensers and a lesser amount of water came out of the overflow but still too much as I never had water coming through it ever before. He could not find anything wrong and said at least not as much water was flowing through the overflow. (He was dead wrong about nothing wrong and I knew it) I gave him back his clamps and showed him how rough and sharp the edges of the countertops were. He scraped it with his knife and said he would stop by the next day with the proper tools to fix it. Then next day I stayed home waiting for a call and he never called to say he was coming by like he said he would. By this time I am noticing how sharp all the edges to my counter are and am getting cuts to my fingers when I go to open my drawers just under the new countertop. I was really getting mad at myself for not hiring someone off of Angie's list with good recommendations. I had also decided to hire a plumber to check out my sink install because I knew water coming through the dishwasher overflow was not a good. A plumber came and checked everything out and discovered the contractor had not removed the plug in the garbage disposal so the water could drain from the dishwasher into the disposal, otherwise to drain correctly. That was causing all the water to flow out the overflow as the water had no where else to go. Now either the contractor had never installed a new garbage disposal before or had no experience of the problems of water flowing through the overflow on the sink. The contractor was satisified he had installed correctly although I told him the overflow had never spewed water before. I e-mailed the contractor a copy of the plumbers invoice and explained what the issue really had been with the overflow issue. Along with the billing I said I assumed he must be considering the work down as he never showed up to fix the countertop edge. He replied he would reimburse me the plumbing invoice and indicated he was sick on the day he said he would come to fix the sharp edges. It has been 3 weeks as of today since the receiving that e-mail. I have not been reimbursed for the plumber expense nor has he ever come by to fix the sloppy sharp edges. I believe I have seen the last of him and at this point I am done with him. Since starting this review I found GLUE on my living room floor and also on my kitchen floor. As I have vinyl flooring it isn't the end of the world to clean up, but finding it just added fuel to my anger. This contractor apparently does not realize that I am his customer and you build a business on good customer service. Even though he was a nice person, I do not believe he is all that knowledgable of a contractor. I had to write this review to warn others about this contractor.

We had several contractors look at the project. Some proposed gutting the shower and starting from scratch, at unnecessary cost and time wasted. Some admitted the shower rebuild was beyond their ability. Scott quoted on the project reusing as much of the building material as could be salvaged. He was not overwhelmed by the breadth or depth of repairs, which included: replacing floor joists and flooring, rebuilding walls from scratch with insulation, drywall, and texture, and correcting original structural deficiencies, just to name a few. Scott also understood and appreciated the extra details, such as blending his work in with the initial construction, and not disturbing aspects which could not be easily repaired, such as the concrete porch and exterior walls. He coordinated and worked well with the plumber, and he went out of his way to accommodate us. His quote was fair and competitive. Perhaps more important, he was accurate and on-budget. His quote covered exactly the work he needed to do, and there were no surprise charges. We are quite pleased with the end result, and we will definitely hire Scott again.

Contacted Apollo and talked to Mitch, and was assured that they would correct or solve the problem. They did come out twice but were unable to solve their design issue with the system. Mitch became
combative and impossible to deal with, and told us that we on our own, and we could not expect any help from Apollo. After the fact, Rob (the competent person) did work a deal for a "Toe Plate Resistive Heater", but that I would have to take care of the install. This became very frustrating for us since this was their design and we even paid extra to have it installed
I'm sure Apollo employs good competent people, but Mitch is a very poor example
and would urge you look to a different HVAC contactor for a residential build. "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wa/kennewick/apollo-inc-general-contractor-reviews-5158485.htm"},"position":10}]}

FAQs for barndominium building projects in Burbank, WA
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.
