"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!!!!!!

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"service provider sent by American Home Shield was excellent. The only issue I have with home warranty services is that they do not send their repair companies out on the week-end, even in an emergency. The customer service personnel is less than enthusiastic or helpful."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

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.
