"I can't say enough good things about my experience with Randy Preston and his crew!! Randy helped me renovate a garage that was in SEVERE disrepair into a beautiful and charming studio cottage. The craftsmanship was excellent. I regularly get compliments and feedback that the cottage has the feel of a home that's been there forever (think circa 1940's cottage). The crew was always on time, kept the site neat and clean and were super easy & pleasant to work with. Randy's personality is "steady and calm" - nothing ever felt like a problem - if it was within his power, he handled it and if it wasn't, he helped me figure out next steps. Renovations are rarely stress-free but Randy's nature helped to make it as stress-free as possible. I think the thing I was most impressed with was his transparency and honesty. He was the only contractor that provided me with a fully itemized estimate. I knew exactly how much was budgeted for EVERYTHING and at the end of the construction, he actually credited me back money for things I would have NEVER known cost less then estimated. Every step of the process (that he had control of) was great. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat and hope I do get to use him again for a future project I have in mind. If I haven't gotten the point across yet, I highly highly recommend!!"

"We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Michael and his crew! Michael was very creative in helping us envision the projectâ adding a second story to our ranch houseâ in ways we had not thought of. He understood and adhered to our budget. *Impeccable* work down to the last detail. Excellent project management â everything ran like clockwork. Great communication as wellâ we were never left in the dark about a detail or left wondering about progress, even though we were an hour and a half away. Crew was excellent as well! And the finished product is better than we dreamed of. We recommend him wholeheartedly!"

In addition to being recognized as one of Delmarvas leaders in new home construction, Vernon Esham and Brent Esham Builders also offers many other services including interior and exterior remodeling, new room additions, water damage repair, plus complete building renovations for residential and commercial property owners.
"Esham Builders helped my wife and I build a modern 4-season sun porch to replace an old modular 3-season porch that had seen better days. They worked with us every step of the way to make sure the final product was exactly what we wanted. All of the workers and contractors were cordial and professional. Larry, our job foreman, was wonderful, diligently staying on top of the job as the work progressed, making changes as necessary, and moving things along as quickly as possible while adeptly handling weather, scheduling, and permit issues. The carpenter who installed the tongue-in-groove cypress on the walls and ceiling was a master craftsman. His work was exceptional. We highly recommend Esham Builders and would use them again in the future."

Start by asking a local contractor, architect, or interior designer for a detailed line‑item estimate. These pros can price out labor, materials, permits, and any specialty work, then flag areas where you can save. Once you have that breakdown, add 20% to the total to cover potential surprises, such as hidden water damage or code upgrades. This approach gives you a realistic budget before the first hammer swings.
In most cases, remodeling wins on price. Because you’re reusing the existing structure, you avoid foundation work, framing an entire shell, and many permit fees. Unless the home has severe structural problems, updating what you already own is the more budget‑friendly route than building an entirely new house from scratch.
Home renovation timelines hinge on scope. Cosmetic updates—such as new paint, fixtures, or flooring—can be completed in a few days or weeks. A multi-room gut renovation that involves moving walls or utilities can stretch to six months, and adding square footage can push the schedule past a year. Good planning and a clear contractor schedule help keep projects on track, so be sure to build extra time into the calendar for permit reviews and unforeseen repairs.
Before your home renovation work begins, contact your insurance agent to confirm that your current policy covers the project. Standard homeowners insurance usually protects against fire or storm damage during construction, but bigger upgrades—adding square footage, high‑end finishes, or new systems—can raise your home’s value beyond existing limits. If coverage falls short, ask about a renovation rider or a policy increase so you’re fully protected from day one to final walkthrough.
