While digging perc holes he complained about being hungary. After digging the holes we left the jobsite leaving the operator to himself to fill in the remaiing 4 open holes (about a 15min job). To my surprise I received a bill for two additional hours of work from the time we left the jobsite. Upon calling the Company for an explanation I was told that they had to send another operator out to the jobsite to complete the job and they actually spent additional hour more than than they charged me. I suspect that the operatior went to sleep shortly after we left and I got charged for it. I paid the bill because I wasn't on site to see what happened. I would definitaly not recommend this Company. As a result of my experience they lost about $30,000 worth of site and septic system build work that I gave to another Contractor.

I can't imagine that building a new house is ever easy, and I was living abroad at the time my house was being built, which further complicated things. However, Lexar respected that it was to be MY house, so therefore everything should meet with my approval, all while actually dealing with my mother here at home. They were very good about keeping both of us up-to-date on progress, and letting both of us know of issues or problems, and decisions that needed to be made. My beautiful house was completed on-schedule (if not early), and lived up to all of my expectations. Even more than one year after moving in, I am still very happy with the quality of my house. Matt Winter (the guy/general contractor in charge of building my house) is wonderful, and remains very responsive to any little question or possible problem I present him with. My mom enjoyed working with him immensely during construction, and I've only had 1 inquiry that turned out to be an actual problem since moving in. Matt and Lexar are dealing with this problem with as little pain to me as possible, and at no cost to me. Everything else has been my wild imagination, and explained to my satisfaction. In short, I have nothing but praise regarding my experience with Lexar Homes. There has only been once aspect of my experience with Lexar that I was not completely happy with. That is the sales lady's recommendation (before finalizing the contract) that I hire my own contractors for some of the work. She really encouraged this, claiming that customers enjoyed the "sweat factor" that came with doing so, and that it often resulted in less cost. However, perhaps because of the remote location, my mom had a terrible time finding contractors at all, let alone ones that I could afford and would meet scheduling deadlines. After all was said and done, I (and my poor mom) really felt that having Lexar do everything would have been much less stressful, and that any additional cost would have been minimal and more than worth the peace of mind it would have afforded. All in all, if I were to ever build another house, I would be perfectly happy to use Lexar Homes again.
The job was bid. Rather than use a gas powered post hole digger the two workers dug by the holes by hand (which seemed absurd and took lots longer). The workers usually showed up at 10 and left about 3:30. The job took about 10 ten days to complete. The bid was based on a fence to match an existing fence of treated posts and rails. The rails used were cedar not treated. When the company owner was called on this he said his supplier did not offer treated rails. Had we not called the owner the fence would have not turned out to our liking.
As it were the fence boards are now on the inside of the posts/rails rather than the outside. As the boards were being put up a worker told me that because of the uneven ground the fence top would be 'notched' where some boards would be higher than others. I told him that he would have to cut the boards so that the top would be even. Bottom line: the end product was okay but we had to continually monitor in order to have an acceptable result.
An update: It was determined that the fence was build 30' inside our property line. When confronted NW Fence owner flew into a rage and said it was not his problem. Nearly one year later and with a court date approaching NW Fence and his attorney settled for a dollar amount and the complete removal of the fence. The agreement was to fill the post holes with dirt. I noticed the workers putting concrete back into the holes. When I attempted to advise the worker that was not acceptable he continued until I was nearly in his face. 1/2 of the post holes were found to contain concrete chunks. NW Fence was to come on this last Saturday to remove the concrete and fill the holes. At the appointed time we found that the concrete had already been removed. NW Fence and their attorney stated that they did not remove the concrete! I guess there must be a good elf in the neighborhood. At any rate the bottom line is that the fence is gone and the holes filled with dirt.
Let me be very clear: DO NOT HIRE NW FENCE FOR ANY REASON.

CC&D had totally ignored the \"not to exceed\" part of the contract. During the arbitration meeting Mr. Manning made the point that CC&D could not go to construction costs when the contract had a budget and a \"not to exceed\" clause. I even showed him the invoice where the budgeted construction total is listed on it. Later ones dropped that when CC&D costs soared. When I pointed out the contract showed a 15% mark-up and CC&D had actually charged over 17%, Manning agreed that couldn't be charged. When I pointed out the contract was inclusive and only WA sales tax could be added on and CC&D had added the profit margin to the contract total, again I was assured CC&D couldn't do that. The reason that is important is if the contractor can add his mark-up to any amount, then the game is the more he spends of your money, the more he makes. That is what I understood this contract avoided. But when the final arbitration came back, the arbitrator used the cost list CC&D had submitted to the arbitration instead of the budget on which the contract was based and was attached to the contract. I ended up paying $92,000 over what CC&D was entitled to charge. Because it is binding arbitration, I have no further recourse to have this contract exercised. I have paid $207.32 per square foot for the shell CC&D built. This price did NOT include: any property, foundation, cabinets, countertops, flooring or lighting fixtures. All sewage system was already in. Electrical service was already to the building. It is a wood frame construction, Hardie board siding, and a 30 year roof. There are no special items that would be upgrades that would pump up the price. My front roof sags. My railing is wobbly. These were never fixed. You make the call. Either dishonesty, incompetence, greed but any which way ...don't walk...RUN away from ever using CC&D to build anything for you."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wa/wenatchee/cusick-construction-and-devmnt-reviews-5100254.htm"},"position":10}]}

FAQs for barndominium building projects in Chelan, 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.
