"I highly recommend Armon Renovations. We hired Armon for a major second-story home addition, including structural framing, roofing, siding, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile, flooring, trim, and finish work. This was not a small or simple project, and Quincy and his team handled it with professionalism, strong communication, and real attention to detail. What stood out most was their willingness to work through complexity. As the project evolved, including added structural requirements, Armon stayed responsive, practical, and focused on getting the work done the right way. They were also fair and transparent when changes needed to be discussed. The quality of the finished work is excellent, and the addition feels like it belongs with the home rather than something added on later. I appreciated the craftsmanship, problem-solving, and accountability throughout the project. For anyone considering a renovation, addition, or larger home project, Armon Renovations is absolutely"

"After looking for 1 year for a contractor, we looked at Angi. We were connected with Antonio of A&M General Construction, and we walked around the house explaining what we wanted. As we explained our plans, he asked questions but never said we won't be able to do that or change our minds to do something we didn't want. We had them remove four windows and replace 3 of them them were able to get exactly the windows we wanted. Took out two walls and opened up the room. Opened a walkway into the bathroom. Moved an intake vent. Painted, layed tile, converted bathtub into shower. We were very happy with the results. My wife loves her new master bedroom."

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

Craftsman-style homes are predominantly found in the Western United States, specifically in Southern California, where the style originated. Since the climate was mild and there was access to plenty of natural resources, Southern California became a hub for this style at its inception. That being said, if you consult with an architect near you, you can have a Craftsman-style home anywhere.

It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.
