"Description of Work: Bathroom Flooring and Fireplace Remodeling Beware of this company. I strongly advise caution before hiring them, as they have demonstrated a lack of integrity and ethical behavior in completing the job properly. Pros: The only positive aspect of this experience was the subcontracted crew who did the actual work. They were excellent, skilled, and professional. The issues cannot be blamed on them, as they simply followed the instructions provided by Mike, the company representative. Cons: After the crew finished their portion of the work, Mike B. was supposed to return on a Saturday to inspect and finalize the job. I set aside the day, but that morning, he texted me to say he was going to a Sabres game instead. He later called to say he would come on Sunday, but I told him Sunday is a rest and church day for us and he raised his voice, insisting he needed to come early Sunday so he could attend another sporting event later as I was still talking he hung up on me. This unprofessional behavior showed that sports were more important to him than completing the job properly. When I spoke to James, the owner, he promised to make things right. However, when the team returned, they installed the bathroom vanity and finished some trimming on the fireplace—but not without additional costs. I had to pay out of pocket for caulking, paint, and the materials needed to connect the vanity to the plumbing system, all of which were supposed to be included in the contract. Final Outcome: I paid $11,200 for the company to subcontract the job to an excellent crew, but the company itself failed to deliver on their promises and how the job was to be done. I ended up finishing some of the caulking, fireplace boarding, and trimming myself. Despite the company’s breach of contract and mishandling, they offered no meaningful discount or compensation for these mishaps. Recommendation: • Do not hire this company. They prioritize personal interests over professionalism and fail to meet contractual obligations. • If you happen to come across the subcontracted crew they used, I recommend hiring them directly. They were courteous, skilled, and efficient. • Be prepared to buy your own materials, as this company did not include them, adding unexpected costs to the project. In summary, while I’m happy with the crew’s work, the overall experience with this company was disappointing. I would not recommend them to anyone."

High end architect specializing in making a house feel like home! I make people’s dream homes a reality. There is nothing more satisfying to me then improving the quality of life for my clients and giving them a house that they are able to make into their homes. I have been a licensed architect since 2015 and am currently registered in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Maine and Massachusetts. With my NCARB certificate I am able, if necessary, to obtain reciprocal licensure throughout the country in a short time period. I am inspired by our local built environment, humble materials, classical building forms and traditional building details. I have a strong interest in the reinterpretation of classical building forms, blended with contemporary open floor plans. I have a stronger interest in helping to guide my clients to ways of improving the quality of their lives through adapting the built environment to meet their needs.

FAQs for custom home building projects in Amherst, NY
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.
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.
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.
