"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."

"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."

"My microwave failed and, after a very rapid response and a complete evaluation by a technician, Choice Home Warranty decided it was better to replace it. I got a Lowe's debit card for a significant amount and acquired a brand new Microwave to replace our old one. I am very happy with the response and action of Choice Home warranty on my account with them."

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.

The International Code Council (ICC) offers guidelines for home builders on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.

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.
