"We hired McCormick Home Builders to remodel our living room, and we are beyond pleased with the result. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and Aris design ideas made a huge difference. The room feels so much brighter and more spacious. This was the best decision we made for our home, and we were already planning our next remodel with them."

"Having faced a leaky roof crisis during heavy rains last year, our decision to reach out to this builder turned out to be one of the best choices we made. I wholeheartedly recommend them for their exceptional service. Faced with the challenge of addressing a complex roofing issue involving both flat and slanted structures, they demonstrated unparalleled expertise. Throughout the process, their meticulous attention to detail stood out. From coordinating with skilled roofers to connecting us with a superb cabinet maker, every step was executed with precision. What truly set them apart was their commitment to effective communication, ensuring minimal disruption to our family's routine during the project. Their dedication to not just resolving the issues but doing so with a focus on quality and customer satisfaction was evident. Even during the insurance proceedings, they navigated the complexities effortlessly, making the entire experience stress-free. This builder is more than a construction service; they are a reliable partner who delivers results with an unwavering commitment to excellence."

"Jorge did an outstanding job remodeling both of our bathrooms and replacing all of the water pipes throughout our house. The quality of his work was excellent, and everything was completed professionally with great attention to detail. Jorge is reliable, trustworthy, and extremely responsive. He kept us informed throughout the project, addressed our questions promptly, and always followed through on his commitments. He is someone you can truly trust to do the job right. On top of that, he went above and beyond by replacing a few additional items at no extra charge, including our kitchen sink and several shutoff valves. Those thoughtful extras showed that he genuinely cares about his customers rather than just finishing the job."

"We did a full house remodel and addition with Sergiu and Annamaria at Best Construction. They are a wonderful team and the crew was great. They took our tiny 900 square foot house and reconfigured the walls on the interior and added 250 square feet with a new roof and new exterior. They changed our cramped space into a HOME! It was as if the flow of the house had changed from awkward cramped to what it was always meant to be. They best part was the use of space. We got to keep our big backyard while still feeling like we had loads new room. The whole process was actually pretty fast. We started our design with Annamaria and before we knew it we had plans and permits. I really appreciated having my own input and ideas taken into consideration by Annamarie. She understood my taste and helped me make decisions when I felt overwhelmed by the choices. I appreciated all the vendors and contacts she had for everything from tile, to windows, doors, etc. I never felt pressured to go out of my budget. Sergiu and the crew are great. They are approachable, professional, polite, hardworking, timely, and friendly. It was really great having most of the work done by the Best Construction crew. I had the same crew working on the project the entire time except for the occasional sub contractors that came though but they were managed well by Sergiu. Everyone I talk to is blown away at the integrity and timely fashion that this design and build firm had towards this project. I was warned things would go wrong but I have to say things went very smoothly and if we do it again it will be with Best Construction."

"Larissa is fantastic! Her designs are beautiful, and her service is great. She works hard to make sure that the customer is happy, her response time is excellent, and the work is timely too! I constantly hear that kitchen remodels run months over what was expected. Not the case here! So happy with our beautiful kitchen. And the built-ins in our dining area are gorgeous. Love!"

"We learned of Wise Builders from our neighbor down the street who had their kitchen and bathrooms done through Wise Builders. They spoke highly of the company and the results of their remodeling took the word impressive to new heights. We contacted Wise Builders as we needed to have our kitchen redone after a water leak caused some major havoc. We spoke and met with Nathan Weizmann who came out to our house and did a thorough review of our requirements. After a question and answer exchange, we agreed that this was the company we wanted to do our kitchen redo. We have worked with contractors in the past and Wise Builders ranks up with the best of the best. Their attention to customer service and project detail is excellent and if I say anymore, people will think I'm a paid employee disguised as a customer. Bottom line, we recommend them without question, hesitation, or doubt. As a matter of fact, we did"

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

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.

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.

Shipping container homes last at least 25 years on average, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance. Since shipping containers are made from metal, they’re quite vulnerable to rust and corrosion. This issue is exacerbated in coastal areas or areas with a lot of precipitation. To extend the life span of your container home, install siding that protects the exterior.
