"I got several proposals from different companies to address my basement flooding and foundation issues. Caleb, with Classic Home Advisors, was the best from the very beginning. He understood the issue and explained to me a few options available to me to address the issues with my basement flooding. The proposal was clear and indicated exactly what and how the work was going to be performed. It took 1 week from start to finish and throughout the execution of the project, I was kept informed of their progress. More important than everything, I already can tell that the repairs to my basement were successful. We have had 2 main rain events since they finished the work and the basement is dry. The foundation repairs looks solid. Iâ m extremely happy with the final outcome of my basement project. Classic Home Advisors did an outstanding job. I have no reservations in recommending them for any of your water proofing projects, or for that matter, any home improvement projects."

"Billy and his team carried out a major renovation of our 100 year old home, including a total revamp of our second floor to have a masterbedroom, two bathrooms, a walkin closet and a new second floor deck. The project also included renovation of a room to create a library with built in shelves. To say we are happy with the result would be a major understatement. Billy solved a number of unexpected complications in this old structure and made numerous suggestions to improve the plans. He routinely found significat savings in acquisition of materials and other costs. (Note: in the photos below the ramp wss put in by me for our dog and was not part of the renovation.)"

The North Star Companies, LLC, is the premier contracting company in MD. We pride ourselves on delivering a quality service, at an affordable price, with the customer's best interests at heart.
"We have used The North Star Companies for several jobs in the past, with the most recent being the largest. We hired them do a complete renovation of our home in Severn. The job grew larger as demo began and turned into a job requiring the rebuild of exterior walls, demo of concrete slabs - basically the house had to be rebuilt from the ground up. All new plumbing, electric, framing, windows, siding, roof, etc. I have known Chris for 20+ years and was confident that our forever home would be solid and done right. We had a few hiccups throughout the process - as this was done during Covid, so there were supply issues, delays and so forth, but Chris and his guys did an amazing job. We couldn't be happier and are continuously getting compliments on our beautiful home. Chris has been and will continue to be our go-to for any construction needs for us and our family and friends."

Building an in-law suite takes between two and seven months. Converting an existing basement, attic, or room can be done in about two months. Constructing a new addition or detached suite often takes four to five months for construction, plus one to two months for permits. The bigger the suite, the longer it will take.
Yes, you can build an in-law suite in your backyard if you meet local building codes and zoning regulations. An in-law suite often occupies 300 to 800 square feet. Be sure to follow size restrictions, utility separations, and entrance requirements. Hiring a qualified contractor ensures you meet all regulatory requirements because they can pull permits, double-check local code, and gather other skilled pros to work on your suite.
An in-law suite is a self-contained living space attached to—or detached from—your main home. Expect a bedroom, full bath, and a kitchenette or compact living area. The setup gives relatives privacy, doubles as a potential rental, and can lift your property value. To qualify as a legal dwelling, the suite must meet local building codes and zoning rules.
