Hello, my name is Al Birkenmeier, I am president of Birkenmeier and Sons, Inc.. So grateful for Angie's List and the Super Service Award 11 years in a row. I started my custom building and remodeling company in 1980 after 9 years in the commercial construction industry working with companies like McCarthy Bros., Hercules and Tarlton. I have pursued my love of providing the highest quality of construction while working hard at keeping my overhead down to keep it as affordable as possible. The proof is always in what my past has to offer so please don't hesitate to contact my past clients through a client reference list I would be happy to share with you as 99.9% are not Angie's List Members. Our quality of work and service is second to none so please let us offer you a no cost estimate and opinion for your next custom home or remodeling project. Thank you much, Al Birkenmeier
"Al is a true professional and we are so glad we chose Birkenmeier & Sons. First of all, Al brought his subcontractors with him to the initial meeting so he could provide an accurate proposal. Al also brought in a professional decorator to help design project and pick out fixtures and materials. Once we got started, they went to great lengths to put up plastic barriers and floor protection to protect the rest of the house from construction dust and debris. Demolition went quickly and the renovation process went smoothly. Al's carpenters and subs were all very professional and friendly. Al was on scene throughout the process to make sure job was done right. We are completely satisfied with the results, highly recommended!"

"This is the second time we’ve hired GA Chott during the past 15 years. We hired Darryll and Angie and team to build out a bathroom from scratch (no plumbing) in our upstairs attic space, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The quality of the work is unsurpassed. We had an inspector ask us about who did the work so that he could contact them for a job in his own home. The quality and attention to detail were incredible. James is purely a rockstar – he works quietly (considering it included demo and the like), cleanly and respectfully. He kept us in the know along the way and really brought the details together. He was always available when we had questions and did quality work from top to bottom. Most of all, James really treated our home as though it was his own. The coordination of the project (which included several required inspections) was all handled by Angie and team. She is a great communicator, and that can’t be overlooked in a project of this scale. Again, she was always available for any questions we may have, and made it feel like we were their only clients. Darryll helped us navigate decisions and brought the full plan together. When we encountered a couple of small issues, he was quick to address and correct them, and assured that things were properly handled. This was a large, 8-week project. We did our homework and acquired several bids. GA Chott wasn’t the cheapest (or the most expensive), but they were clearly the best choice. We give our highest recommendation. You’ll be pleased with both the quality of the work and how it’s handled throughout the process."

Handyman ready to improve your household problems.
"Tyler is very professional and friendly. I needed some extra hands moving and getting tvs and furniture mounted and moved and secured. I explained what I needed once and he ran with it. Inviting a stranger into your home can be anxiety inducing but Tyler has a very calming energy and eased those fears immediately. Even the dogs loved him. He also went the extra step to hide the wires which I super appreciated. Would definitely hire again!"

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
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.
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.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
