"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.

"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."

"I can not say enough good things about Precise Home Builders. From the initial meeting to the end result, we could not have been happier with the entire process. We had a major project, gutting and converting a 1920's spanish duplex to a completely new modernized single family home and the Precise team not only delivered within our budget, but also within the 6 month time frame we initially discussed. None of our friends believed we'd get such a big job done within that time frame, but Precise really came through! We passed all permits with ease, never had any surprises, and had fantastic communication during each phase, even the vendors they referred us to were pleasant and professional. I highly recommend Precise Home Builders for any project, big or small."

"A friend of mine had America Green Builders installed in her house so I also made the call to them. Mike made the appointment with me and came out. He was really, really good and made sure I understood everything by going over absolutely everything.He was friendly, courteous, well-groomed and punctual. Also, customer service was wonderful. They kept me updated with emails, called me on the phone and also made sure I understood everything plus told me what the next step was. In addition, the guys that installed the system were absolutely marvelous. They respected me and my property that I can't say enough good stuff about them. In the whole experience, I’m 1000% satisfied."

"Project was smooth sailings. We got what we wanted, in the time frame we wanted. Guy at AGA was responsible, and managed a beautiful remodeling project. We are very excited with our new kitchen, and the many meals ahead of us. 
The plumbing was giving us some problems, and it was time to upgrade. AGA carefully and professionally changed the pipes. 
Same goes for our exterior. The siding a few inches from the roof was deteriorating, and needed some upkeep. AGA gave our home the attention it needed, and completely gave our home a new-home look."

"Simon and his team at Cielo Construction are, without a doubt, the best contractors in the industry. My remodeling project involved the complete renovation of small house, including complete demolition and the renovation of two bathrooms and the kitchen, new installation of engineered hardwood floors, a custom fireplace and upgraded the electrical panel. We trusted our home and the project to Cielo Construction. They handled the remodeling job with lots of professionalism and the time that they gave to all the details is unbelievable. We planned this project few months before we started and we had done a big research of the material selections, Simon gave us additional recommendations to the design and materials that surpassed our high expectations for this project. The remodeling project came in on budget and on schedule. From the first day until the last day of the work, we couldn’t be more satisfied with the quality of work, the skills and understanding of all the work on the project and the finished product. We would, without hesitation, recommend Cielo Construction!"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

The average cost to renovate or remodel a home is $52,300, with most projects ranging from $19,500 to over $88,400. However, costs can vary significantly, from as low as $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 or more for a complete home remodel.

Several factors influence the total price, including:

  • Project Scope and Size: The extent of the renovations, whether it's a single room or the entire house.

  • Location: Geographic location affects labor and material costs.

  • Materials: The quality of materials chosen.

  • Room Type: Kitchen remodels ($14,500 - $70,000+) are generally more expensive than bedroom remodels ($1,500 - $5,500).

  • Other Factors: The time of year, complexity of the work, and any additions or expansions.

On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $15 and $60 for standard projects and up to $150 for luxury renovations.

Examples of specific project costs include:

  • Basement remodel: ~$20,200

  • Garage remodel: ~$27,900

  • Loft conversion: ~$20,200

  • Disability accommodation remodel: ~$4,300

  • Major home repairs: ~$11,700

If you are financing the project, note that some loan programs, like the FHA 203(k), may require a minimum project cost (e.g., $5,000) and will necessitate a home appraisal and professional cost estimates. Using a home renovation cost estimator can also help you budget for your project.

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
