*Authorized Waypoint Cabinetry Dealer* dRemodeling is Philadelphia's HIGHEST-rated home improvement company. We've been recognized by Remodeling Magazine’s Big 50 for best remodeling companies in the country. We were named Contractor of the Year in 2017 by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). We have also won Angie's List Super Service award 8 years in a row in addition to having won Best of Houzz in both Design and Services 3 years running. We are a one-stop shop for kitchen, and bathroom remodeling projects. From award-winning interior designers and amazing in-home technicians, to a complete Showroom and Design Center (carrying top-industry brands for kitchen cabinets, vanities, tiles, natural stone, hardwood floors, plumbing fixtures, quartz, marble, and granite countertops) dRemodeling is your ideal home remodeling solution. We'll take the stress out of remodeling and help you save time and money. Our inspired interior designers and our skilled installation team will work with you from design conception through completion. We handle everything for you, all under one roof. To top it all off, dRemodeling offers a 5-YEAR warranty on labor and materials when you hire us for our full design, material procurement, and construction services. The dRemodeling Team includes real people with inspired solutions who are motivated to make your remodeling dreams come true! We look forward to getting to know you and your project! Happy Remodeling! Feel free to call our direct number 215.848.4444 and mention that you are an Angie's List member.
"We feel very fortunate to have found and been able to work with dRemodeling to renovate our kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Throughout the process we have been struck by the craftsmanship, attention to detail, excellent level of communication and clear desire to make us happy (“we just want to see you smile”) that we have experienced. All of the other 5 star reviews have aptly captured the experience that we did, so I will not go into as great detail as I normally would. The design process was easy – our designer asked pertinent questions that helped us hone our visions and thoughts into reality. We felt seen and heard, in terms of defining our wants, needs, finances, etc. Demolition was extremely fast, and the teams made sure to keep the house as clean as possible throughout the entire process. Each person who worked on our house demonstrated a dedication to quality, and whenever an issue arose, it was rapidly addressed and remedied. The workmanship is noteworthy. When it came down to the final punch list, and fixing the minor details (I tend to be fastidious and overly observant about the detail work), there was no issue, and the work was beautifully completed. The billing and payment process is comprehensive, very clearcut and very easy to understand and follow from the outset, which also made the experience seamless. I would like to mention that dRemodeling has a cleaning team that they have clean the areas that have not only been worked on but also impacted by the construction. We found that they are now offering the cleaning team as a separate service, called dReal Deal Clean. It was a no-brainer to sign up for future ongoing cleaning services, knowing that they have the same ownership, and high standards. We will unhesitatingly hire dRemodeling for any future remodeling needs."

Custom home building FAQs
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200.
The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
