We are here for ALL of your remodeling needs or home renovations! 12 years of experience from small jobs to building dream homes. No job is too big or too small.

"BEWARE - NOT LICENSED!! I hired Nick for a horse stall project because he installed a trailer hitch for me with no issues. I was told they were licensed contractors, they even advertise it on their page. Over a month later and the horse stall STILL isn't finished to the specifications they themselves set. It has no flashing to protect against water damage, no trim and the gate to the stall swings both ways so no way to keep it shut. Also if you look up, you can see light inside the stall coming through cracks! I would text both of them, no response sometimes for days, sometimes not at all. I would call, no response. I would be told he was coming out and he would never show. Be given excuses about projects he was doing. Finally Nick told me he would come out to finish and I asked if he could complete a whole other project we had discussed because it had been so long and I needed it done, electrical to the stall. He said it could be done, would even add water since he would already have an open trench. Paid money for materials for the new project to be done at the same time he would be finishing the stall. Again, would not give me an honest answer about timeline, became nasty telling me he had other customers who paid him larger sums of money for their projects and he could move me to the front of the line if I gave him a credit card, laughed at my frustration and concern. Stressed to him and Corrine I would no longer be needing their services for the electrical and water and I requested a refund of what I paid for the electrical/water project. They ignored me until I stressed to them I would be taking legal action if not refunded. They then stated to me they would return all but what I owed them for the stall which had NOTHING to do with the money I had paid for the electrical/water. I was current on the stall payments and my next one was not even due for another week! I am now seeking legal action. These two are frauds, not licensed and will take your money. All of the negative reviews online are true and I DON'T believe the positive ones are from actual customers. And I have found out since, this is not the first time legal action has been taken for the same thing. BEWARE!! STAY AWAY!!!! If they try to say anything to you about there are two sides to every story and use excuses as to what occurred, reach out to me, I have NO problem sharing screenshots!"

Major home repairs (general contractor) FAQs

A general contractor oversees a project from start to completion. They create the project’s timeline and schedule, hire, manage, and pay subcontractors and workers, and purchase and deliver building materials and supplies. They’ll also acquire necessary permits and HOA approvals, plan and execute necessary project changes, and make sure work meets quality standards.

Hiring an independent general contractor costs between 10% and 20% of your overall project cost, with larger projects incurring fees up to 25%. This fee covers complete project oversight, scheduling, and subcontractor management. The fee ranges from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, reflecting the full scope of the planned work and ensuring seamless coordination throughout the construction process.

General contractors typically provide estimates at no charge, but some may charge a small fee, especially for more complex projects. It's important to secure a written estimate, as it establishes a transparent agreement on project scope, labor, materials, and any additional fees. This helps protect you against unforeseen expenses and ensures clarity before the work begins.

When hiring a general contractor, you must provide an upfront deposit that ranges from 10% to 20% of your overall project cost. This deposit secures material orders, labor scheduling, and initial project preparations. An upfront deposit exceeding 50% is a clear warning sign and should prompt thorough contract verification before proceeding.
