Regarding the casement sash, as it turns out, it had been redesigned by the Mfg and the first Hometown install team indicated it would need to either go back or require a custom retrofit. The casement windows are approx 18 yrs old. About a week later I received a call from Hometown that the window would only need a new type of weather strip and that would solve the issue with the design change. I had asked the first team to make sure I could get the sash ahead of time before the install, in order for me to prime and paint the interior portion. Unfortunately, that communication didn't take place and I never was able to pre-finish the sash. As it urns out when the weather stripping finally did arrive for the sash, a different team came out, to install the 2 windows without scaffolding and I raised a concern when I asked this. However, the 2nd team said it wasn't necessary and was able to easily fit the bay window glass in place and indicated the initial team should have done earlier when the bay window was available and I was waiting for the new weather stripping. All in all the work done was good and the 2 windows are now in place. I'm waiting for the first very cold day to confirm the casement is sealing properly. I'm sure if I do have an issue, HomeTown will help find a solution. I think this was just a case of miscommunication by the initial team of installers and their office "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wi/beaver-dam/hometown-glass-and-improvements%2C-inc-reviews-7985922.htm"},"position":4},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"William Laird Plastering, LLC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"WI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mark M."},"reviewBody":"I just wanted to say that Bill did a great job on my home.

So, when we had the car serviced at the Subaru dealership for oil change, brake inspection, etc., I asked the service manager to have the mechanic check out the installation of the remote starter. When I picked the car up the service manager and I sat in the car and reviewed all of the functions of the Subaru key fob and the remore starter key fob. Everything worked fine per Subaru's design. The service manager was very complimentary of the installation done by Fine Details. He said it was the most professional job he's ever seen done by an "aftermarket" installer. Keep in mind, the Subaru dealership installs remote starters too - for 3 times Fine Details' price. Recently the remote starter quit working, I talked to Ken at Fine Details and set up a service appointment.

Collin did not provide quality customer service, did not listen to what I wanted when designing. I was very clear about not feeling as though my landscaping had "curb appeal." He did not change one thing about the layout of my existing landscaping. The only thing he did was added shrubs! I...

I've always heard about the nightmares of homebuilding. MasterCraft was a pleasure to work with! They listened to what I wanted and let me do the design. If there were any issues or questions they responded immediately. They built me a beautiful home! I would definitely build with them again!

Work was finally completed mid October. Hometown came out in July and did an a measure of the windows needing repair and located the Semco brand and Mfg. There were some initial delays given they had to order the windows and wait for shipment from Semco. Perfectly understandable. Once the...

FAQs for residential design projects in Highland, WI
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.
