"Jason and his crew are excellent at what they do. They cleaned up everyday before leaving our home. The work performed is georgious. Jason worked with us by giving us options with the budget we had to work with. Jason is honest and will shoot you straight by giving awesome advise with all the knowledge he has from being in the home construction industry for many years. We want to remodel our bathrooms in the future and Professional Home Repairs & Maintenance will most definitely be doing the job. We feel that the value added to our home was well worth the money we spent. Jason and his crew have installed new roofs for friends of mine and did an excellent job for them as well. I know how scary it is picking a contractor and have been burnt in the past by others. Professional Home Repair is the right crew to take care of the largest investment in your life. God Blessed us by allowing our paths to cross. Thank you Jason Marsden for doing what you said you would do."

"I have worked with over 20 different contractors in the last year or so.  Ron by far is the best we've seen!  His attention to detail and professionalism is first class.  He and his crew came right in and began work immediately; he's strictly business and can do a little bit of everything; and he does it all well; he's a real perfectionist at his skills and we loved that!  He's reliable, dependable, and reasonably priced for the services he provides.  He came behind other contractors who ripped us off and corrected all their sloppy work.  We have finally found someone who is honest, detailed, and provides OUTSTANDING QUALITY WORK.  
He just finished another job for us today. He repaired several areas in my drywall and painted the entire area flawlessly! He went above and beyond on this job; he constantly checked with us to make sure everything was what we wanted; made recommendations, and did little extras we wasn't even expecting.  He cleaned up VERY WELL; actually, it was cleaner when he left than when he arrived.  Lol!
Ron is a true professional who has one of the best work ethics I have ever seen.  He and his crew is the go-to folks for any renovations, projects, fix its, etc. for us for now on.  They were also very friendly and accommodating.  It took us over a year to find a professional like this.    Thanks Ron!  
I HIGHLY recommend him to all our friends and any new customers looking for solid contractor who aimed to please his customers and actually stands behind his work.  We are from Missouri, "THE SHOW ME STATE" and that's exactly what they did and some....We are VERY PLEASED!!!!!!

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

Modular homes are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and faster to build than traditional homes. They also offer customizable designs.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.
