"This was my first time working with a construction company and Chase and his team made everything very easy and we were extremely happy with the work that was done. Everything was done on time, on budget and very professionally. Andrew and Sandy were amazing with communication and James was great to work with making sure we were satisfied. The team helped offer advice and help get everything ordered. We plan to use them again in the future and I highly recommend them to anyone looking."

"After waiting nearly a year for a contractor to start our job we finally gave up and scrambled to find someone else. We needed our family room completely gutted and rebuilt before Thanksgiving. We met with 3 different companies and settled on Modern Habitat after meeting with Kip Schultz and Bob Dillon for quite some time. They were professional, listened to our needs and concerns, made helpful suggestions and came back with a very reasonable estimate. They showed up daily, kept in constant contact with us both verbally and by email, and consulted us for any changes every step of the way. The room was not completely done by Thanksgiving, which we had expected given the tight timeline, but it was fully functional and we did enjoy the space with family on the holiday. Even after we added a few items and modified others they finished the job less than 2 weeks later. We could not be more pleased with the final result. Our family room went from the original 1970 eyesore with holes and water stains in the popcorn ceiling, peeling wallpaper, atrocious stairs and hideous faux beams to a modern, stylish and comfortable lounge space that we are proud to relax in with guests. We will definitely contact Kip for future renovations and would not hesitate to recommend Modern Habitat to anyone looking for honest, hard-working and reliable general contracting services. GREAT job."

"Working with Zander at AO Architecture and Design has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His blend of creative vision and practical expertise truly sets him apart in the world of architecture. Zander has an uncanny ability to listen and understand his client needs, transforming those ideas into thoughtful, innovative designs that not only meet but exceed expectations. His attention to detail is exceptional. Every line, every angle, and every material choice is carefully considered to ensure that the final product is both functional and aesthetically stunning. What I particularly appreciate about Zander is his commitment to sustainability and how seamlessly he integrates ecofriendly practices into his designs, making the spaces he creates not only beautiful but also environmentally conscious. Zanders collaborative approach makes him a joy to work. His passion for design is evident in everything he does, and it shows. I cant recommend Zander highly enough."

"He quickly responded to my request. He was professional and delightfully blunt about what we could do. He had the plans drawn in a matter of days and we had a final draft less than a week after his consultation. His price was reasonable, and we'd happily hire him again."

"Franziska worked with us to design a transformation of our three story 1868 workers housing building with many small dark rooms into a stunning open and bright home for us and a small apartment for us to rent. Her knowledge of natural lighting is superb. We now have morning sunlight pouring from one end of our house to the other from early Fall to late Spring. This really brightens our spirits daily and I never would have thought of it. She was a pleasure to work with. I'm very detail oriented and in some cases, particularly both kitchens, I spent a lot of her time suggesting different options. She never became impatient and the results of our exchanges was always better than what I'd had in mind. She is also particularly good at making small spaces function and feel as if they are much larger. The apartment is only 400 sq ft and yet it gets rave reviews from our tenants. Franziska is also very knowledgeable about retrofit energy conservation. She cut our energy use to less than half of what it was."

"Iâ ve worked with many contractors over the years and never had such a great experience! This team is prompt, dedicated, kind and respectful partners during each part of the project. I was always given the right information so I could make my best decisions and never had to wonder if the work was going to get done. They were there every day right on time, worked hard throughout the day and were always willing to talk through best options if we found something that needed addressing (which in this place was plenty). The site was always pristine at the end of the day (even when I told them they didnâ t have to!). This was a hard project and I was putting a lot of faith in them and they delivered above and beyond. I have been recommending them to all my friends and family and will continue to do so! Simply put, this team is who you want on your next job."

"Working with Mr Aydin Company on a recent project was an absolute pleasure, and I am thoroughly impressed by their exceptional talent in building drawing. Building Drawings: Mr Aydin Company demonstrated an unparalleled level of skill and creativity in their building drawings. The attention to detail, creativity, and precision exhibited in their designs truly set them apart. From the initial concept sketches to the final construction plans, every aspect of their drawings reflected a deep understanding of architectural principles and a keen eye for innovative design solutions. Their ability to transform visions and ideas into comprehensive, detailed drawings is truly remarkable. The seamless integration of functionality and aesthetics in their designs showcases a level of craftsmanship that is second to none. Working with Mr Aydin Company on building drawings was a collaborative and inspiring experience that surpassed all expectations."

Depending on the type of project, you may find subtle differences in the hiring process. Here’s a look at task-specific advice.
You can use HomeAdvisor to help evaluate a contractor’s qualifications. We put pros through a screening process, and award badges to high-performing contractors. You can find these badges on a pro’s HomeAdvisor profile, and sometimes, his or her website.
Your research doesn’t stop here. Once you’ve found a few prospective companies, make an call to ask a few questions about work history, licensure and more:
In most cases, the responses you get to these three questions will give you a very good idea of the right pro for your project. If you have more than one front-runner, these additional questions can help you narrow it down.
Any good contractor will answer these questions, and most will appreciate dealing with a client that takes such an active interest in finding good service. On the other hand, if a contractor gives you a hard time with these questions, you probably want to find someone else.

Get Matched With ProsFor remodeling and other large-scale home projects, hiring a general contractor can make the difference between a chaotic and stressful waste of time and a hassle-free experience. They are a "jack of all trades" who make sure a job is completed on-time and within budget. They hire and manage subcontractors, pull permits, buy materials, and handle issues related to liability and warranties.
While it's important to get quotes from at least 3 contractors before hiring anyone and to watch out for warning signs (for example, if they request the entire payment upfront), it can be equally as important to make sure they are nearby. Contractors in your area can negotiate better prices for materials and labor, can source local materials, and typically know your area's code requirements.
