"Our experience with Suj and So Cal Builders & design was very pleasant. They executed a high quality upgrade to our prior home before we sold/upgraded. We did not want anyone else to renovate our new house. Every step of the remodel was handled in a timely manner. And, honestly, Suj is quite humorous; he creates a very nice environment to be around for his team and clientele."
Completely renovating both the guest and master bathrooms. In the master bathroom, we're installing a spacious walk-in shower featuring dual black-finished shower heads, elegant floating benches, and marble wall tiles. Meanwhile, the guest bathroom will have a sleek built-in tub and stylish hexagon tiles.
This project involved adding a new master bathroom to the existing house. The shower features sleek white subway tiles complemented by striking black fixtures and shower door hardware. The bathroom floor is adorned with elegant white marble tiles, providing a seamless and luxurious finish. A white shaker vanity topped with a white marble countertop completes the space, creating a clean and sophisticated look.

"When our house burned down we had no idea where to start with hiring a contractor. Kenny and his staff were helpful and we felt we could trust them to help us rebuild our home. We were not disappointed, our house turned out great with very few headaches along the way. I would absolutely recommend Kuhnhofer Builders to any family member or friend."

"Essential Living Construction (and specifically Oscar Barajas) did a great job helping me with my home remodel. The price was fair, the work was done quickly and the results were impressive. Cracked damaged ceiling drywall was replaced with new drywall throughout the entire house and it looks great. Oscar is a friendly, soft-spoken professional and I would absolutely work with him again."

"We first hired Kyles firm when they were just starting out... he did a really nice job on a relatively small (under a $100k) renovation project. A couple years later we contacted him again to perform another, much bigger renovation project. We hired him mainly because we were fairly certain that he would not walk out on us, and trusted he would resolve any issues. We love our house! We have recommended them and will continue to do so!"

"My experience with LA Expert Builders was awesome. I went with them on my bathroom remodel and they did a high quality work, did everything as I requested, as they promised and all that at very reasonable costs. Nir and his crew were great to work with, always on time, clean, polite and professional. I really like how my bathroom turned out, it's very beautiful! Thank you LA Expert Builders!"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes hiring a general contractor to build a house, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

The most significant expense when building a barndominium is constructing the metal shell, which includes the roof, doors, and windows. Additional exterior components impacting the overall cost include metal siding and the concrete foundation.
