"The process was awesome. He let us know what decisions needed to be made by when and gave us all the resources we needed to make wise decisions about EVERY aspect of our home. The man even went and watched the rain on three different occasions to check the grade of our land before making the first dig!! If you want attention to detail and a good steward of your money, this is the man and company for you!!!!!!! We closed with equity in our beautiful home."

"The job required a lot of work, as we live on a bluff. And we were so impressed with his work, that we've asked him to do other projects!! The best thing about him is that he's reliable, shows up on time, does what he says he's going to do, and they are all pleasant, the whole crew!! And they even clean up afterwards."

"The overall experience was amazing, from day one in speaking with Brian was honesty, respect and professionalism. For me to live out of state and find the kind of craftsmanship that he offers is highly unusual. He went above and beyond in doing some extra work that was needed for my Sister's home. I highly recommend Skyline Construction to anyone that needs a dependable, honest and professional contractor. Thanks Skyline for the wonderful service you gave."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Remodeling a house is often less expensive than building a new house. You can expect to pay an average of $100 per square foot when you are remodeling. The cost to build a house averages about $150 per square foot. When remodeling, though, some rooms cost more than $100 per square foot and some cost less. Use a home renovation cost estimator to accurately estimate your remodeling costs.

The average cost to build a modular home is around $270,000, and most modular homes total between $180,000 and $360,000. Of course, this price varies significantly by location, and the price tends to follow the cost of living in the area. There are quite a few other factors at play that can affect your pricing, including the following:

  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

  • Site preparation, including land clearing and leveling

  • Type of foundation

  • Utility connections

  • Cost of building permits

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect 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.
