"I want to share my experience with Ambry Design for a custom closet. It was a flawless and professional process beginning with the Design Consultant, Dave Cousineau, and ending with the installer, Matthew Ridgeway. When we visited their showroom, Dave was able to complete a design based on the measurements provided so when I left that day I had much more information than I expected on the initial consultation. It was also very helpful that Ambry has a showroom and factory right here in Largo and we were able to see all their products. Best of all , there was no-pressure to buy on the spot. We had an installation date within 2 weeks of the consultation. Matthew Ridgeway completed the installation in about 3 hours. He was ultra-polite, very professional and his work was stellar. We could not have had a more positive experience from beginning to end and the closet is more beautiful than I expected."

"Construction is a ridiculously stressful business… I hired Nick and his wife to get the job done on my bathroom that I know would be timeless, and I would never have to remodel again… I went with a marble tile, black and white feel. There were so many obstacles in this 1920’s home but they found the path."

"My client relationship with B&H Specialty Construction commenced when I hired David and his exceptional team for an opulent bathroom remodel following the devastation of Hurricane Ian. After an unfortunate termination of my previous contractor due to exorbitant pricing, I found solace in the expertise and value of B&H. Their cadre of skilled tradesmen exemplifies integrity and time-honored values, qualities for which I am profoundly grateful. From the outset, their work crews have consistently arrived punctually, infused with positive energy while they demonstrated kindness and respect for my property, pets, and family. They adeptly navigated challenges such as deteriorated flooring and termite damage with remarkable professionalism, providing timely, evidence-based solutions while minimizing additional costs. Their superior communication skills have proven invaluable; they consistently present clear, straightforward options, delineating the pros and cons of each. As a woman who has occasionally altered her vision during projects, B&H has managed my requests with exceptional flexibility and understanding. Their unwavering commitment to delivering meticulous craftsmanship is evident, which is why I have entrusted them with numerous projects across multiple properties, including: - Lavish bathroom remodel - Structural foundation stabilization and reconstruction of a pier construction, bayfront Sarasota, FL home - Conversion of a single bathroom into two distinct bathrooms - Comprehensive kitchen demolition and remodel, encompassing exterior wall reframing and siding replacement - Tailored cabinet, countertop, and backsplash design and installation - Installation of luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and tile flooring - Bespoke bayfront window design and installation - Interior framing, drywall, painting, and installation of modern baseboards - Custom tongue and groove vaulted ceiling installation - Design and construction of an elegant front porch and steps - Driveway paver design and installation, pool cage, exterior patio, and expanded pool deck - Installation of quality exterior doors - Fireplace renovation - Construction of an interior laundry room from garage space - Comprehensive plumbing replacement - Electrical rewiring - Installation of new rain gutters - French drain system design and implementation, effectively preventing interior water intrusion during Hurricane Helene - Rip-Rap seawall construction and property grading with construction fill I confidently endorse B&H Specialty Construction to my friends, colleagues, and neighbors, assured they will be thoroughly impressed with the service and the substantial value added to their properties by selecting these reputable, local, contractors. I look forward to booking more projects with them this year."

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 pros and cons or advantages and disadvantages of building a new house include:
Pros:
It’s all new, so you should have several years before you need to pay for major repairs like a new roof.
It’s under warranty, so many fixes within that warranty period should be covered.
You get to build the house to your specifications.
Cons:
You have to make a LOT of decisions.
You will almost certainly deal with building delays.
It can take a lot of work to stay within your budget.
Building can be more expensive than buying an existing house.
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.
Hiring a contractor to build your home is a big commitment. So be sure to ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective home builder:
How many years of experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you have worker’s compensation?
How long have you worked with your subcontractors?
How do you handle garbage and waste disposal?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Do you give free estimates?
Do you offer design services?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three references?
Can I see some of the work you’ve done?
