"We are so glad we had LPZ Drywall finish out our garage. The company we had originally hired was a no show. I got on Angie and found LPZ. Ivan was able to come out right away to do the bid and we got started the same day. Everything went like clockwork and the communication was very timely. His crew is terrific and did a great job! Highly recommend."

"Both experiences were positive. All workers showed courtesy and respect. All work was professionally done. Each worker made a serious effort to do his work well. Our property was safe. At the end of each day work areas were cleaned prior to workers leaving. Acra's design center was inspiring. I chose to do much of the shopping from it. That extended the project of a kitchen renovation to a whole house experience! With the most recent project the sheet metal backing for a specific door and replacing wood molding meets the need to protect the area from further damage. We were pleased with all aspects of our experience!"

"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."

"Honesty is key.  My husband owned his own business for 35 years and said that Brett LeMarr was the most ethical person he has done business with.  What was great was during the construction process most of the subcontractors told us how much they liked Brett LeMarr and that he was great to work with and that he is fair.  We did not expect that subcontractors would say this to us.  The architects said they liked that he never lost his cool and also enjoyed working with him from start to finish.  When building a home, it is very important when you have the two key people involved in the creation of your home to work well together.  Our feeling was that Brett is the type of person to get along with everyone involved.  The subcontractors he worked with on our project were all top notch, polite and came back until they finished the job to our liking.
Because it is a new home, he said there would continue to be settling cracks in the structure and that they would come back to fix that.  I should mention that the home we built was not easy.  It is a very contemporary home with straight lines, smooth walls and completely smooth ceiling.  Many people commented on that this would not be an easy home to build and have been impressed with the construction of the home as well as the design.
What could have been a stressful experience was a pleasant and enjoyable experience for my husband and I.  We feel so fortunate in our choice of our contractor.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

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?

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

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.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.
