Customers say: True professional

"I used Scott's Home Renewal for a first floor renovation about three years ago, was pleased and hired them again for this. Not the cheapest contractor, but definitely the best I have used here. First class professionals; first rate subs, especially the tile and glass people The custom glass door arrived with the wrong specs, and the glass contractor got the factory to make a new one with only one day of waiting.. If you want it done right, contact Scott's."

"This house was a nightmare, many things were hidden and did not know until I started tearing up the floor and found joists were bad and so was the foundation. I called several companies and settled on Neil deWit construction.  He spent lot of time looking it over and trying to come up with the best plan to move forward with since there was so much to rebuild.
As you will see in the pictures I took, it was a major undertaking.  Basically removing everything below the 2nd floor and supporting the whole house while they removed the foundation, flooring and walls.  Lots of people came by to look, as there hasn't been too many houses that looked like this.  Neil's foreman and his crew are top notch and know what they are doing, and take pride in what and how they do it. If they can't fix it right, they don't want to do it. Seems like a pretty good idea since that way they don't have a shoddy job that someone else will have to come back in and fix it right.
So now we are at the place of putting on the siding but I wanted to post this even before they completed the job because as you see in the pictures it is quite an improvement. Once they are completely done I will post again.
I will call this crew again in a heart beat to fix any kind of problem with a house. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed in their work."

"Great ! Owner Tim came out and did an emergency tarp -- in the rain, as my BR ceiling was leaking. Jan ( office manager ) worked with my insurance until the bid & repairs were enough to give me a great outcome. Their repair guy was professional, friendly and did a good job. I would not hesitate to use them again & to recommend them !"

"Scott was very professional in all aspects of our extreme home repair. We had major damage from termites, and what was supposed to be a simple wall repair job took a few turns to say the least. My phone calls were answered promptly or I would get a call back in the next few minutes. We had a huge project on our hands and luckily we found Scott to handle it. Quality work. Hire him."

"The company was able to come out to look at our sinking garage within a week of initial contact. Reo confessed that he had never seen a garage laid without footings, and he wasn't sure how much it would cost to add them. I had another company come look and give me an estimate and called Reo back. Reo said he was confident he could do the job if needed, but if the other company had done it before, he would recommend using their service instead of his. While ultimately I did not hire this company, I appreciated their honesty and professionalism, and would not hesitate to call them for basement work or other work more in the scope of what they do."

"These guys were great to work with. They have completed two major projects for us this far in a kitchen backsplash install and remodel of a master and second bathroom. There was a slight mistake that they made with the master bath remodel, but they took full ownership of it and made it right. We have them quoting additional projects as well as I believe in having a contractor that I can trust. All of their team members are super professional, extremely nice and great to work with. Would certainly recommend this company!"

FAQs for major home repair (general contractor) projects in Colfax, IA

In many cases, it’s much less expensive to convert a bus than to buy an RV, especially if you’re considering a newer RV model, which can exceed $100,000.

Another huge benefit of school bus conversion is that you are in control of the renovation project. You get to pick your camper's new layout and all the appliances and furniture.

While school buses can easily cost $300,000 when they're new, you can often find used buses for just a few thousand dollars. These vehicles experience extreme depreciation due to government regulations; they can only be used for so long before they must be replaced. Due to those same regulations, other government agencies cannot purchase them for their own uses, so the consumer market is the only place they can go.

The length of time it takes to convert a bus depends on the scope of the project (and size of the bus), how much work is DIY vs. done by a professional contractor, and how much work you’re doing up front.

In general, expect at least a couple of months for a conversion, but larger conversions could take six months to a year. Remember: You can tackle projects as you go: Get the basic work done so that it’s livable, and then continue to enhance your living space over time.
