"Jim and his team did an excellent job on our house. They rebuilt our decks, oversaw a complete kitchen remodel, created a completely new bathroom in our master bedroom, renovated all of the bathrooms in the house and created cabinet doors and other finish carpentry in a manner that matched the existing wood and design. They were reliable, communicative, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I highly recommend their services for any type of new, remodel, or custom work you may have on your home."
"I really value working with these professionals. A testament of our great working relationship are the number of JMG projects finished over the last five years. I am always glad to start a new project with them and know that every aspect will be handled with care, consideration and respect for me and the property. I highly recommend them without any reservations."
"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging. Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs. "
"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to write this review so that the request to write this review stops popping up. The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit. "
"This company was very friendly and hard working! Coming in to town not knowing anyone was very nerve racking so having come across Daniel and Denise was a blessing. They were great to work with and definitely a company I would highly recommend. My paint job looks amazingly beautiful!"
"The entire experience was so positive. Jesse wasnâ t just someone we hired for a custom project, he (and his family) became friends throughout the process. He is an outstanding carpenter, but an even better person. Laid back with a good sense of humor, he helped guide us through the design process, listening to our ideas, brainstorming with us and offering suggestions on what might be better materials, more realistic options and the best ways to utilize our space to achieve our desired goals. We now have a beautiful statement piece in our home - and it feels like we built it â togetherâ . His attention to detail is second to none and we wouldnâ t hesitate to hire him for another custom project in the future."

Builder-grade is one of two types of stock cabinets, whereas semi-custom designs allow homeowners some control over the color, finish, or hardware on their cabinets. Stock cabinets are sold in construction-grade and builder-grade designs. Construction-grade cabinets are usually made from inexpensive medium-density fiberboard, which is prone to moisture damage, whereas builder-grade models are a step up with higher-quality materials. Construction-grade designs are the most common type of cabinets in America.
The only real drawback to green building is that it’s more expensive up front, with per-square-foot prices sitting 33% higher than what you’d pay to build a traditional home. The higher cost is due to more expensive building materials and more labor to ensure every aspect of the home is as efficient as possible. However, green buildings often save money in the long run, so this is just a temporary downside.
