"Saw this guy driving on the highway with some serious road rage. Purposely swerving into another car and blocking them when they tried to pass. I wouldn't hire someone who loses their head that easily"

Rite Way Construction Developer was founded in 2001 by Jim Dunne because of the need for a professional, competent, understanding, action-oriented construction company. Even though we opened doors in 2001, we have more than 20 years of experience in the industry. Through our experiences in the home improvement industry, we realized that homeowners who wanted remodeling work performed, were not being served professionally. This is why we have succeeded in the construction business. Rite Way Construction Developer does not just build additions and custom homes. We help people live better! Rite Way Construction Developer builds relationships by bringing a new light to an industry that has been in the dark for too many years. Rite Way Caonstruction Developer knows that we must communicate with our customers, be honest, respectful and offer fun and excitement during the building process, while creating unique living environments. Whether it's a small addition or large custom home, our belief is to treat a customer's home as a castle. Serving our customers is what we are all about. We understand that serving is what makes us thrive and succeed. And, because of this, we all know that when a homeowner calls us, they have called the right place.
"We contracted Riteway Construction 2021 to have an addition built to our house. The project was completed in 2022. They did a good job initially with procuring materials during COVID as well as getting most of the work done at that time. Jim has a lot of contacts which helped with procuring materials especially during COVID when materials were in shortage due to supply chain issues. One of the major issues during the project and even now after construction had been completed is communication. Throughout the project Jim was either super responsive or very hard to get in touch with. Since the project was finished, we have had issues with water leaks/damage. A few months after finishing the project we had some floor boards that needed to be replaced due to a water leak/unknown water damage, which was from earlier in the construction but never addressed. We tried to contact Jim for 1-1.5 months via text, calls and emails and were unsuccessful in getting touch with him."

Ruffino and John were amazing and did excellent work, being flexible to changing needs and providing a beautiful end result. They went above and beyond and helped move furniture around the house and even a couch to another location. The best part is they were very affordable and came in on budget and exceeded expectation.

"We hired Design First to redo our downstairs including a kitchen and bathroom. I would never recommend this company to anyone based on our experience with them. The company should be renamed Disappointment First. We used this company due to the recommendation of a friend but did not realize the ownership had changed. There are several other reviews that discuss how the company’s performance degraded with the new ownership. If you do use Design First, please learn from our mistakes in dealing with them and insist upon a firm completion date with a penalty per day for missing it. Several of their competitors offer this, and in our naivete we did not request a penalty for missing the completion date. We had a signed change order with a guaranteed 12/25/23 completion date, that they missed by several months. When we brought this up in discussions with them, they were dismissive and stated no penalty so nothing we can do."

A construction loan is one of the most common financing options available for building a home. You’ll typically need a high credit score and make a down payment when you apply for the loan. Other alternatives include federal construction loans for active and retired service members, hard money loans, and construction loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration.
Building your house typically takes about seven months from start to finish. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, this timeline is achievable when all tasks are managed efficiently. With effective planning, optimal labor allocation, and proactive resource management, you can complete the construction phases on schedule while minimizing delays and unforeseen setbacks.
To save on home-building costs, consider choosing a smaller design or alternative construction methods. You can lower expenses dramatically by using prefabricated house kits, repurposing shipping containers, or adopting tiny house designs that require as little as $8,000 in material costs. These strategies reduce labor expenses and material waste while delivering a high-quality, efficient home.
