"Team was fabulous to work with, hands down. My vision was to add more living space without adding square footage. Expert Home Builders made it happen. Walls were moved, doors rearranged, pocket door installed, custom shelving, new kitchen with extra seating, and new bathrooms came to life. I felt I was part of the Expert team. My vision and their high standards created my perfect place."

"I've used Joe before to help with other projects.  This instance I needed work done on the sun side of the house as the trim had not aged well.  The paint was peeling and the boards were cracked in places.
Joe, scraped, sanded where needed, primed and painted.  He also matched the paint and fixed a railing for me while he was here.  The end result is perfect as you cannot tell that the trim is any different from the rest of  the house.

"Rani is excellent at customer support.  I had concerns that the crew was not replacing the fascia boards since there were more rotted fascia boards than good boards; and he listened to my complaints and then offered a reasonable solution.  I had no problems getting a hold of him when I needed to.   The crew was prompt.  In fact, they completed the job ahead of schedule.  The crew stayed late to complete the job and even replaced some of the fascia boards through the rain.  The total time for the job for our 1800 square foot home was a day and a half for the new roof.  The fascia boards took one day.
I had much better rapport with Rani than other general contractors that I have had to deal with in the past; and we are pleased with the results.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

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.

Modular homes can be a great investment, especially for those who find the prices of stick-built real estate too high. Modular homes are usually much more affordable because they’re mass-manufactured and then assembled on-site or delivered mostly assembled. If they’re installed properly and by professionals, they can last for between 50 and 100 years, potentially making them an outstanding investment.

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. 

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.
