"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."

"I called JD and he came over that afternoon and looked the projects
over. He called me back with the estimate within an hour. After I gave
him the go ahead and the agreed up front money he told me when he would
start. He started on time and did a very good job. There were a couple
of things that we had not specifically discussed, such as putting some
extra support under one end of the deck, which was needed,  that he did
without me asking and without charging extra.  I am very satisfied with
his work and am already lining up the next project for him.
   JD is a really nice guy and is easy to work with.

"As I am looking to put my house on the market soon, I had a few repairs I needed to get done. The exterior of my house was quite dirty and the driveway full of algae. I had a cracked window pane, a leaky sink pea trap, a leaky sink faucet, and a bathroom tub that LITERALLY required a wretch to turn it on and off. I found Halo Construction on Angies List and contacted Kristy via phone. James came out the next evening per my schedule to take a look. This was very important and I have a very busy schedule. After James got an idea of what I needed done, Kristy emailed me an estimate 3 days later. James was able to come out and get started two days after that. He arrived when he said he would and got working right away. James and his team worked VERY hard all day long and into the night. A 3 hour plumbing job turned into an 8 hour job after he ran into a bit of a snag with the shower faucet (see below). He finally finished at ~8pm! The house exterior looks almost brand new! (see pictures) There's a few things James did that other pressure washers don't. His team hand cleaned every window frame, they used a long handled brush to scrub the very top of my siding, and after pressure washing they hosed the house down to prevent streaking. It's this attention to detail that sets Halo Construction apart from the others. The sidewalk and driveway went from greyish green to nice and white (see pictures). They guys even went as far as pressure washing the curb in front of my house and cleaning the debris off my house. He did such a good job with the window pane that you can't even tell which one was replaced. The pea trap, which should have been a simple job, was complicated by the fact that my house is almost 50 years old with 50 year old fixtures...yet James's and his creativity figured out a solution. The sink works great now. Initially James was only going to replace the stem of the tub faucet, however like the 50 year old pea trap, the parts for this faucet were no longer available. So James replaced the entire bathtub faucet, shower head and spout. He did this with no extra labor costs and charged me the actual price of the parts. I was very pleased by both the quality of work, the price, as well as their flexibility with my schedule. If James and Kristy keep up the level of service they provided me, I know they will very successful in the future. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Halo Construction to my friends and family."

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

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

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.

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.

Modular homes last an average of between 50 and 75 years, and high-quality modular homes can last for 100 years with proper maintenance. For comparison, a standard home lasts 50 to 100 years and can push to 150 or longer with good maintenance. Modular homes provide better long-term value in that they are significantly more affordable and can last almost as long, but some buyers are wary of modular home longevity, so the actual value if you sell could be lower.
