"Mr. Klein come to my home to give me and estimate on painting the outside of my house and give me and estimate on a new shingle roof.  I was not looking to put a metal roof on but he assured the quality of the metal roof compared to the quality and legivity of a shingled roof. Turns out I took his word and went with the metal roof.. that in which i am much more satisfied with compared to the look of how my home looked prior to Mr. Klein and his workers I am very pleased. After signing the initial contract with Mr. Klein he ensured me that him and his crew would get started on it as soon as they could weather permitting.  Within just a couple of days they started and finished my roof and the painting. I was very satisfied with the way him and his workers conducted themselves. The job was well laid out and very tidy considering that it was a roof and paint job. I will definately call him back for my next project."

"Michael Riley holds his crew to a higher standard than any other roofing/construction company I have worked with over the last 3 years. The overall pricing is a little higher than what I have paid to previous companies but I never have to worry about the job being done properly.
I use Veterans on all of my insurance/roof work.  He uses the same software that is used by the claims agents.  There have been several instances where a claims adjuster has under bid the cost for the repairs and Michael has been able to help us to ensure that the insurance companies have paid every dime that they were responsible for paying.

Custom Home Builders 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.

Historically, Tudor homes originally stemmed from the 15th and 16th centuries, while Victorians appeared during Queen Victoria's reign in the 19th century. The design and structural differences are significant as well. The many types of Victorian architecture—such as Italianate architecture—typically feature ornate trim, wood siding, wraparound porches, and tall towers on top, such as belvederes. On the other hand, Tudor-style homes feature white stucco exteriors with exposed wooden rafters marking the house frame both inside and out.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

Craftsman-style homes are predominantly found in the Western United States, specifically in Southern California, where the style originated. Since the climate was mild and there was access to plenty of natural resources, Southern California became a hub for this style at its inception. That being said, if you consult with an architect near you, you can have a Craftsman-style home anywhere.
