"The crew came to the house and modified their way of working to accommodate the tight work space. They were friendly and went above what they had to do by saving my flowers out of my flower bed before they began digging out the space. They answered my questions and explained how things were going. The company owner often checked in by phone and in person to communicate with me regarding the job."

We provide architectural, structural, and mechanical engineering services, utilizing over 30 years of experience in technical design, construction management, and design build services. We "listen" to our clients and solve and implement creative designs based on their needs. Kesselman Architectural Design, LLC services all of PA, NY, and MD. Typically, a set of construction documents requires only one on-site visit to gather on-site environmental and existing building conditions. We find communication on most projects, whether local or distant, is usually completed via phone and internet. There exists a triad between 3 major project aspects as quality, time and cost. A successful project requires a balance of the three. A well detailed set of construction documents will allow contractors to bid on the same "scope of work," competitively, thereby saving time and money. Our documents solve thousands of questions and become the basis of a solid legal contract.

"I got lucky. I found Lynn on a website and he was the only one with all 5 stars...now I know why! He was so wonderful to work with; knowledgable, responsive, and patient as they come. He worked within my budgetary requirements and even recommended a builder that I decided to work with. I cannot say enough great things about Lynn and highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best architect! If I could give him 10 stars, I would!"

"TLDR: Have the quality of the work stated in the contract, not just that the work will be done. This was by far the worst contractor I have ever hired. I hired them to hang drywall in 2 bedrooms, box in a pole in my basement, box in a duct, finish mud on some drywall that I hung myself, and paint my kitchen/living room. They continually messed up and I had to personally show/tell them how to do their job. The pole they boxed in, in my basement, was over an inch and a half out of level. To the naked eye, it looked like it was leaning. Same thing with the duct they boxed in. When confronted, they blamed my children for kicking the pole out of level, when it was actually screwed into my concrete foundation. They claimed to have built the duct box out of square on purpose. They flat out missed spots in my living room when they were painting because they were careless. You can see individual roller marks on the walls. Drip marks abound. My 10 year old could have done a better job painting with a roller than these guys did. There is paint all over my vaulted hardwood ceilings that they didn't bother to clean. There is paint on my kitchen table. There is paint on almost every door and window in every room they painted. One evening they left and I had to clean up their paint pans and rollers. The drywall work is possibly the worst I have ever seen. I can see most of the drywall seams because the mud is feathered so poorly. They missed every outlet box they cut out in the two bedrooms. Then they just fished the wires through the hole and screwed the outlets into the drywall. They continually did not bring the tools and supplies they needed to do the job that day. Usually blaming my children for taking supplies they claimed to have left the day before when I never even saw them. They went so far as to claim my dog ate an entire 18 lb bag of quick set drywall mud. They often borrowed my tools to get the job done. They left my $600 flexvolt miter saw out on the deck in the rain and below freezing temperatures with two 12 amp hour batteries in it. They would have walked off with my impact driver if i hadn't caught them. They did get away with my chalk line, two screwdrivers, and a paint pan. For real.... They were hired to paint and had to borrow my paint pan. I cant even make this stuff up. Rarely showing up before noon and often staying past eight or nine in the evening. They didn't leave my house until ten thirty once. Sheena left her cigarettes on my 10 year old daughter's dresser. They left an open razor knife on my other daughter's desk (my children are all 10 years old and younger). Their communication was absolutely abhorrent. I never knew if they were going to show up. Once, Sheena texted me that they were on their way (45 minutes, an hour max of travel) and showed up 3 hours later. Some days they just plain didn't bother to show up at all and didn't tell me at all that they weren't coming. It seriously takes 90 seconds to send a quick text saying "hey there was an ice storm and we can't make it today because of the weather." The entire job was supposed to take a week, but to be on the safe side they said 2 weeks in the contract. They finished on day 19. Nearly 3 weeks to finish a week's worth of work. These guys are absolute clowns. If I could rate 0 stars, I would."

Treehouse building services FAQs

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.
