"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

While it’s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.

How long it takes to build a custom home or rebuild a home after a disaster varies depending on many factors, but averages between seven and 14 months. Smaller homes or homes that don’t need a re-poured foundation may take less time to build than larger homes or homes without an existing foundation. Material availability, contractor schedules, and permit and inspection timelines can all affect how long your house takes to build.

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.

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.

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.
