"Just finished a bathroom remodel with OC Builders and had a great experience with them, especially our project manager Evan. While there were slight things that needed to be changed during the project, Evan was always gracious and his team made the changes without hesitation. Great working with Evan and his team = )"

"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 was really fortunate to find Wade. He was always professional and straightforward with me about the remodel. He is very efficient and cleans up each night before he goes home. If something neeed to be done differently he would let me know. He got everything done in time and within budget."

"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.

"Randy gave us a good bid and stuck with his price even when things took longer than expected. He generally had a good attitude about the work and was personable to work with. He did a fantastic job on the tile. The job went much longer than expected, in part due to his work hours, in part because the job was more complicated than we all thought initially. Randy does good work and I would definitely recommend him."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

Modular homes are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and faster to build than traditional homes. They also offer customizable designs.

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.

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.

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.
