"Michael and the Cahaba Building crew were fantastic and a pleasure to work with. They did the work professionally and on time. Our home is over 100 years old. The foundation is now repaired and secure. We love the kitchen! We will hire Cahaba for all our future home repairs and renovations."

"James (Historical Home Crafters) has built two houses for us (one in 1996 and one in 2019). We learned during the first construction project that James is professional, respectful, and takes pride in his work. Choosing him to build our new home was based on the experience we had the first time. His construction knowledge and experience combined with his integrity takes a lot of the stress out of building a new home. We highly recommend Historical Home Crafters."

"We recently hired Prime Management to fully remodel our mid-century beach house. We knew it would be challenging to work with an older home full of surprises but they did a great job revitalizing the entire house with current features while mixing in historical charm. Not only did they take very good care of our home with excellent craftsmanship, they made sure we were involved throughout the process with great communication and attention to detail. We couldn’t be happier with the end result! Should we ever need another trusted builder, the team at Prime Management will be our first call – they should be yours as well!"

"Crowder Custom Builders, Inc. , Birmingham, AL (205) 229-0484, recently remodeled our Guest bathroom and did such a good job that we hired them to remodel the Master Bath and dressing room. They removed a tub in the Master bath and installed a large shower. Mr. Terry Crowder, owner, did all of the tile work himself and supervised everything. As a former homebuilder with over 30+ years experience, he still keeps up with the latest trends in construction and made suggestions that completely updated our older home. He managed to stay within the estimate while making these changes that added value and much more enjoyment for us. As is common in an older home, he found some safety issues with the wiring etc. and corrected them. Mr. Crowder is knowledgeable, efficient and very detail oriented. If something doesn't look good to him, he will take it out and do it over. He is also very personable and easy to work with. We are well pleased with the work Crowder Custom Builders did for us and we will certainly use them again. Doug and Dot Hayworth, Meadow Brook"

"He went over & beyond on the trim by doing more than I asked! He takes pride in his work, and always tries to satisfy his customers. Wayne is a perfectionist and he does an excellent job. Upon completion he asked that we walk around the house with him pointing out anything he may have overlooked. 
We purchased our paint and paid him in full when he finished. He is a very honest man!"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.

Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:

  • How long do you expect the process to take?

  • Are you fully licensed and insured?

  • How much of the work will you subcontract?

  • Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?

  • How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?

  • How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?

  • How much experience do you have?

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

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.
