Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 March 2024
“I had the pleasure of working with Robert on the repair of a second story deck over my kitchen addition this past summer. The repair became much more involved than expected and Robert patiently worked with me to be sure the work was completed with as minimal disruption to my family as possible. Since this repair was attempted at least once prior to working with Robert and his team, he was certain to consider multiple options to complete the work with the highest quality possible, a true lifetime fix. I cannot share enough positive comments about his ability to call together a wonderful team of professionals who were willing to work with me on semi-short notice. I highly recommend Robert and Benchmark without reservation!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 September 2016
“My roof and siding was done by Amana GC. They did a great job communicating with the insurance company to get our entire project paid for through our home owner policy.. They were also fast... they had 6 guys do our roof in one day and 8 guys did our siding in one 12 hour day. the other quotes I received did little to work with our insurance company and told us it would take 2 weeks with a 2 man crew. I think negotiating with insurance companies is what differentiates them from everyone else. Times are tough and we did not have the extra money to get a new roof and siding. Having someone take care of the negotiations (insurance companies can try to make things so complicated) and not come out of pocket to pay for our new roof and siding is why I rated Amana 5 stars.”

“My husband and I have used Arete Renovators on several occasions to remodel rental property and to remodel the master bathroom in our home. They were accessible throughout the projects and provided design recommendations, as needed. There was an open line of communications and the projects were completed within the timeline we discussed. We recommend Arete Renovators, Inc. to friends and family and we will use them again in the future.”

“When you contact Platinum Touch, they will send people out who will be comfortable, concerned with your needs, and don’t make claims they cannot meet. As you go through the process, the people you meet will be professional and courteous. In the end, you have a well completed project.” We are very pleased with Platinum Touch. Vince listened on our first meeting and came back with what we asked, when we thought some more and the ability to express what I wanted and how we were going to use it, the designed adapted perfectly. The team was respectful of our budget and also of our needs as we stayed in our home during the construction process. There were no cost surprises or construction delays. The quality of the finished project is wonderful.”

““Michael Leopold has been building things for years. Renovating them. Redesigning them. Crafting them. His work ethic is legendary. His taste, impeccable. He’s a great listener and a superb collaborator. He can lead any project, big and small. He guides teams of experts to reach results that far exceed expectations. He’s a leader and a visionary, but he’s also a pragmatist. He understands the realities of scope and budget. And he’s someone that seems rarer by the day in this business. He’s a guy you can trust. When you want to work with the best, look no further than Michael Leopold and Renovision Road.” — Michael S.”

Builder FAQs
A house extension is a construction process that involves expanding the footprint of your existing home. This could be extending outwards, either to the side or rear of the house, or upwards by adding another storey. House extensions provide extra living space and can significantly increase the value of your property.

House extensions can be categorised based on direction, structure and function. The main types include rear extensions, side return extensions, wrap-around extensions, and double or single-storey extensions. More specific ones could be kitchen extensions, loft conversions, basement conversions, garage conversions or conservatories. Select the type that best suits your property and meets your space needs, if you are unsure, speaking with a local home extension builder in Lake Forest.

Generally, house extensions are worth the investment. They provide additional living space and can dramatically increase the resale value of your home, often covering the initial investment cost. However, plan carefully and choose a reputable house extension builder to ensure a high-quality build that will add value to your property.

The cost of a house extension can vary significantly based on several factors, such as the size, complexity of the design, quality of materials used, and geographical location. However, as a rough estimate, a single-storey extension can range from £1,000 to £2,000 per square metre, whereas a two-storey extension can start at around £1,500 per square metre.

Planning a house extension involves several stages, including idea generation, design, planning permission, and construction. Consult with a house extension architect to create a design based on your needs and budget. Ensure to check with your local council about planning permissions. Finally, choose a reputable house extension builder to bring your vision to life.
