25 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!
John was fabulous from the moment I contacted him. Very efficient, cost effective, and he even matched the RO faucet to my existing faucet. My builder complimented his work, including running lines to my refrigerator as well. John was prompt, clean. and professional. I would definitely...

"We bought a project home near Minocqua and, after a lot of searching, decided to take a chance on a newer company in the area, ABC Home Expert, for a full gut remodel. Best decision we could’ve made! The transformation is unbelievable. From the very beginning, the team made everything easy. They created 3D designs of the entire house, helped us pick out materials in their showroom, and kept us in the loop the whole way through. Jackie was absolutely amazing with updates, always friendly and such a pleasure to work with! I will miss her and our daily chats a lot ❤️Kate is a tough cookie, she’s straightforward, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable whenever big decisions came up. The entire process was well organized and stayed right on schedule.

Over the years we’ve developed a strong reputation for building timeless landmark homes throughout the Northwoods. As builders of luxurious designer homes, it is our uncompromising dedication to the tiniest of details that make all the difference. It all started small in 1977, building decks, additions, and garages. And the lessons we learned then are still the ones we heade today: that a customer’s needs are one thing, but their dream is quite another. Our goal: satisfy the need – but delight the dream. IT IS OUR DEDICATION TO THE TINIEST OF DETAILS THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE The company was built on the idea that every home, cabin, lodge, or cottage that we designed and built would always reflect the distinct personalities of the people who live, work and play there. That ideal paired with exceptional craftsmanship and a flair for design quickly cemented Benson Builders as the premier custom home builder in the Northern Wisconsin and Northwoods areas including Land O’ Lakes, Conover, Eagle River, Three Lakes, St. Germain, Minocqua, Lac Du Flambeau, Boulder Junction, Manitowish Waters, Presque Isle, Watersmeet, Iron River, Phelps, and Lake Tomahawk. By the 1980’s, Benson Builders was known throughout Northern Wisconsin for its quality, integrity, and service. A home designed, built, renovated or added on to by Benson Builders is noted for its style, grace, and quality. In the early 1990’s, the demand for full log and hybrid log homes grew and Benson Builders was credited with being the leader in this emerging market. Many of our homes have been featured in national magazines, including Log Home Living, Log Homes Illustrated, Distinctive Wood Homes, Log Home Design Ideas, Cabin Life and Traditional Home. WE PROVIDE OUR CUSTOMERS WITH UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY AND EXCEPTIONAL PERSONALIZED SERVICE Today Benson Builders continues to specialize in the custom design and construction of conventionally-framed, timber and handcrafted, full log Northwoods cottages, lodges and homes. Additionally, a large portion of our projects involves additions and renovations to many of the cottages and lake homes that were built in the area throughout the 1900’s. We provide our customers with uncompromising quality and exceptional personalized service during every phase of the building process – from our first contact until the last detail is complete.
"Following several meetings with Benson Builders early 2018, we entered into a remodeling contract to refurbish and update a 1991 Log Home. The estimated cost of the project was just over $255,000 plus additional design services of $9840 with an estimated completion date of mid-July, 2018. We assumed that there would be touch-up and punch list items to complete after July, but had no indication that as of April 2019 that many unresolved items would remain. During the project, we approved upgrades to HVAC, insulation and other items totaling approx. $22k. Combined with the original estimate this is a total of $305k. As of this review (April, 2019), we have paid Benson over $334k or $29k over the original estimate. In addition to this overage we completed and paid for ourselves over $5000 of work originally included in the scope of the estimate that was removed from Benson’s scope. In total, we have over $41k of additional costs to complete the scope of work, and the job remains incomplete as of April 2019. We provided communication to Benson about our concerns to their not meeting the completion date many times. On July 11, 2018 we received a communication from the owner of Benson Builders that all incomplete items on a list provided by the owner would be completed the week of July 30, 2018. In regard to the quality of workmanship and work that was not completed, I will let the pictures tell the story. Some of the incomplete work was completed by us at separate expense, the pictures represent how these items were left prior to our completing the work separate from Benson or remain incomplete today. NOTE: Upload of pictures is limited to 10, I have many, many more. Lastly, we experienced a significant failure causing damage to the home - I can provide details."

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
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.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
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.
