Featured Reviews for Builders in Ely, IA

Precision Builders
Builders in Ely, IA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 September 2017
“We recently had Precision Builders design and construct our new home. It was an easy decision after visiting one of their Parade Homes. We couldn't be happier with the results. Arron, who is very detailed oriented, was so easy to work with. From the very start he listened to our ideas to make sure everything we wanted was incorporated into the plan. If we wanted to make any changes he was very open to this. Arron's entire crew is very professional and friendly. Kelly, is also part of the Precision Builders team. She is absolutely fantastic and couldn't be easier to work with. She gave us so much help in the selection process, but always making sure to listen to our ideas. Kelly has a great eye for design and color. Arron, Kelly, and the entire team made the home building process very enjoyable and stress free. Thanks to Precision Builders we now have an amazing and beautiful custom home."”

“We hired H&H Home Builders to build our new house. They provided valuable guidance and sound advice throughout the project. We had an excellent working relationship with both Randy and Gerry. We are very pleased with our new house and we give Jerry and Randy credit for the good result. My wife and I highly recommend H&H Home Builders. I can't imagine anyone better to work with than Randy and Gerry. Ted & Kathy K”
Gary Frakes Construction
Builders in Ely, IA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 February 2020
“We had Gary Frakes Construction extensively remodel our home over 9 months in 2010-2011. Gary was great to work with, his advice on design was invaluable and the skilled workers on his team gave us a beautiful "new" home. We hired GFC again last year (2019) to replace our deck.”
Design & Build Remodelers
Builders in Ely, IA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 April 2017
“Gary remodeled our screened in porch. He wrapped the old cedar supports in vinyl, replaced the screens with Ezy- breeze screens and windows, built a deck and stairs. He completed the project in a timely manner and kept the site clean. I plan on using Design & Build Remodelers in our future projects. Gary is precise, exacting and takes pride in his work. I have recommended him to friends.”
Legend Custom Homes
Builders in Ely, IA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 January 2016
“We had Legend homes build our first home in 2009, it was such a wonderful experience we built a second home with them in 2012. Quality was our number one priority and Jon exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Jon Krousie/Legend Homes for anyone considering building a new home. Bob & Diane”
Martin Combs Custom Homes LLC
Builders in Ely, IA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 April 2015
“We purchased a home built by Martin Combs in North Liberty and we love it. It has a very efficient layout and it's not a "cookie cutter" type of house. We also appreciate that they used quality products to build the home. You can tell they care about their work. And after the purchase we had their direct number in case anything came up, which unfortunately something did: the city forgot to remove the cap on the sewage line. Martin Combs was not at fault but they still took care of everything and worked with the city to get it corrected. I highly recommend these guys!”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Ely:
  1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.

When looking for an Ely building company to take on your project, you will want to know that they will be able to handle the job in good time and sticking to your agreed budget. A professional contractor will have worked on projects like yours previously and they will know exactly what to do.

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Ely that can handle the full scope of works, either by themselves or through sub-contracting. It is often a good idea to play devils advocate and ask what the builder will not be responsible for. Be wary of unusually cheap quotes. Ask for references and stories about how the builder has met different challenges along the way. If you can, you could try to see previous projects and talk to previous clients, or if not, read reviews, recommendations and ratings, and look at detailed photos of projects. All of which you can find on Houzz.
