109 Brighten built my home in 1994 and my second home in 2015. I have known John since we were young and he is an honest, trustworthy and capable builder with great customer service. He is very particular with the results from his subcontractors and he also is on scene utilizing his own skills ....
Brighten Homes IncDC Fence Repair, the stellar duo Darran and Aaron, did an amazing job building a fence on a steep lot that is difficult to navigate. In record time they built the most perfect fence you’ve ever seen. I will be admiring their craftsmanship for many years to come. And I continue to puzzle over...
DC Fence RepairEverything about NW Builders and Renovation exceeded our expectations!

NW Builders & RenovationCornerstone Builders are the best! Our son used them to remodel his home and recommended them to build our new home. We were impressed with the company from the minute we contacted Scott and Dawn Mundell to help us find a suitable lot a couple of years before our move. They were very helpful...
Cornerstone Builders of Terre Haute, Inc.We wanted to build a home that was energy efficient and were considering a factory-built home. I contacted them because they were listed by one of the home builders as their preferred/certified local contractor. Terry and his partner came up to Portland and looked at a few sites to help us...
Square Deal Construction Company, LLCDaniel's was very good at explaining the building process and followed through on all we agreed upon.

"This was our second go with Stan - in early 2018, his team converted our "bonus room" into a bedroom, bathroom and a study. We were so impressed by his work quality and responsiveness, that when we needed to replace a rotting wooden deck with a new Trex one, Stan was the first one we contacted. His visit for planning a deck install quote was like the previous visit - it took only 5-10min with general questions on what we'd like, and a detailed quote (with line items) came in an email. Price was very reasonable - not the cheapest, but very reasonable, and as we trust Stan, we hired him to do the deck as well. This work included demolition of the deck (Stan agreed to let us do part of the demo, and gave a discount on the quote for that), framing and installing the deck. After the initial deck frame, we realized we were a bit too greedy with the deck size.. it was too big! We asked Stan to adjust the size down a bit, and he did it quickly, with little extra cost (the effort needed for adjustment was compensated by the lower cost of Trex material for the now-smaller deck). The final deck size was 20ft by 24ft, using Trex Transcend (the highest-tier Trex composite decking) - the full deck work was $25,000 of the project total of $32,000. In addition to the new deck, we asked Stan to also extend the backyard fence around the deck, so we would have more yard space for our dog. Stan's quote included that one as well (for about $3,000). In addition, we asked Stan to install a barrel sauna (from Costco), as part of the larger project - this would include electrical hookup for the 8kW heater. Initial plan was to install it onto the deck, but Stan suggested a different location for better privacy and more deck space. As a result, his team built a small wooden platform next to the deck, and installed the sauna on it (this was $4,000, with us providing the barrel sauna). I've included pictures of the deck, the new larger fence and the sauna. As before, Superior Building Concepts work was impeccable, and they were flexible in timelines, preferences, changes etc. We've kept recommending him to others, and everyone has been happy with Stan's work. We'll definitely have him do more projects as well, I would highly recommend Superior Building Concepts for any contractor work."

"Heirloom Homes, led by their foreman Jason, exceeded our expectations in every way. What started as a simple trim and wall painting project quickly evolved into a full-scale home remodel—simply because of Jason’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. From the beginning, his attention to detail and high standards were obvious. He was very firm with all the contractors he brought in in a way we could NEVER do. As we saw his work come to life, we kept adding new projects, confident that he would deliver nothing short of excellence. Before we knew it, our entire home had been transformed. Jason seamlessly blended old with new, ensuring that every addition fit perfectly with the vintage farmhouse aesthetic we love. The kitchen remodel was especially impressive—he custom-built additional cabinets to match our existing ones, applied a beautiful patina finish, leveled the floors, installed new flooring, upgraded the sink and lighting fixtures, and even designed a custom dining table to complement the space. The bathrooms were just as stunning, with completely remodeled spaces, crazy good tile work, and a breathtaking floor-to-ceiling steam shower (we LOVE it!) Beyond the big projects, Jason and his team handled everything from custom motorized window shades to new stairs, complete interior and exterior painting, and countless other details that elevated our home to a whole new level. If you’re looking for a contractor who truly cares about quality, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction, we can’t recommend Heirloom Homes enough. Jason has an incredible eye for detail and the ability to bring a vision to life while maintaining the character of a home. We are beyond thrilled with the results and grateful for the care and expertise he put into every part of our renovation."

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.
