"Jose and crew were timely, conscientious, great communicator, hard-working and tidy. They treated my little 1940 cabin in the desert like a brand new home. They worked with the materials I supplied and it was very enjoyable listening to them enjoying their work. I would highly recommend them.!"

"Nick did a great job getting us through our first bathroom remodel. Our space had a lot of issues and surprises and Nick helped to come up with solutions while keeping us in our budget. The new bathroom looks great and we are very happy with the quality of Nick’s work."

"He did a very thorough inspection, and may have found the source of where mice may have been coming in. He also educated me on what was going on with my roof. He was very knowledgeable about potential problems. His background as a home inspector was very helpful. It was well worth the money spent"

"They showed up early and asked if they could go ahead and get started. They did my roof in one day. They cleaned up extremely well. They guaranteed their work. Made sure all the nails were picked up. Had put tarp all around the house. Removed all lawn ornaments and put them all back when they are done. Did all the extras not necessarily asked for - went the extra mile that we really appreciated. Their crew was absolutely wonderful, cordial. Any questions we had they answered. Brian, the Sales Manager, came out everyday to keep watch. The experience was fabulous. The owner even came out to see how things were going. They worked with our insurance company and went over the house with them. It would be a wonderful world if all companies had this work ethic. I recommended them to my neighbors and 3 of them hired them."

"48Jewel Construction and remodeling had to gut and redo my fathers entire bathroom. The floor was rotted out due to poor seal on the toilet and over years of not being fixed. They put a sub flooring down and a new tiles down. They also installed all new plumbing, fixtures and tub, toilet and sink finishing with fresh paint and new lighting. What a wonderful job they did. My father was very pleased with the work.

"I had an appointment and had to leave home toward the end of the day. As he was likely to finish the job before I returned, I gave him a check for the balance due. When I got home that evening, it was obvious that he packed up and left as soon as I had gone, as no more work was done. I called immediately and received email promises to return but follow up phone calls were never responded to. That was early October and this is early April. Though some of the runoff from the roof has been diverted, large amounts of rainwater still pours down onto the rear door area.

"The crew that came out was very professional and cleaned up after themselves. They only tore off a portion of the roof that could be replaced that day so we didn't have to worry about tarps. It took a few days but they were very careful and considerate of the house and landscaping. We had some issues with the roof looking like it was buckling in places and the owner was quick to come out and check it out. He said the shingles needed to settle in and heat up good before they will lay completely flat, I was skeptical about that answer but he said if they don't lay flat then they will tear it off and do it again. Sure enough, they did lay flat by the end of summer and everything looks fine now.

"We work closely with Jon Wilson and his team. I highly recommend Marketplace Homes!"
Stone homes offer exceptional longevity compared to conventional building methods. These structures resist fire, insects, and severe weather conditions that often damage standard construction. While initial construction costs may exceed those of building methods, stone homes require less frequent repairs and maintenance over their lifespan. Many historic stone structures have remained functional for centuries, demonstrating their remarkable durability and longevity. This extended lifespan can result in lower long-term ownership costs, despite the higher initial investment.
Stone construction provides natural temperature regulation through thermal mass, potentially reducing heating and cooling requirements. As a natural material, stone requires minimal processing compared to manufactured building products. However, quarrying operations can impact local ecosystems, and transporting heavy stone materials creates significant carbon emissions. Homeowners can minimize environmental impact by selecting locally sourced stone and incorporating recycled materials where possible. The exceptional longevity of stone structures often results in a favorable environmental assessment over their lifetime compared to buildings that require frequent replacement.
Stone construction progresses more slowly than standard building methods due to the meticulous nature of stonework. The process requires careful material selection, precise placement, and appropriate curing times for mortar. Weather conditions significantly impact the construction timeline, as masonry work often has to pause during unfavorable conditions. The specialized skills required and the limited availability of experienced stonemasons can also extend project schedules. Homeowners should plan for extended construction timelines when pursuing stone house projects.
Most stone house projects utilize construction financing that converts to permanent mortgages upon completion. While stone construction represents a premium building method, some lenders recognize the inherent value and durability these structures provide. Construction loans require detailed plans, specifications, and contractor estimates for approval. Some regions offer specialized programs for traditional building methods or energy-efficient construction that may apply to stone houses. Consulting with multiple lenders helps identify the most favorable financing options for your specific project.
