"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

"Joe, Abel, and Crew did an awesome job building our 28’x8’ Timbertech deck, 25’ elevated on a hillside. Joe worked closely with the Mill Valley permitting office to get the engineering plans approved, and once we got the green light the deck shot right up! We’re extremely happy we chose them to build the deck and would happily recommend for anyone looking at similar projects."

"Dana was the foreman on a major remodeling project on our property. We added a guest cottage which involved excavating over 100 ft.³ of hillside, foundation, as well as construction. He also remodeled the main house extensively from a concrete pour to new roof, electrical flooring, fine carpentry and everything in between. Throughout the 2- year project, Dana was attentive to detail, honest, mindful of the budget and schedule, and collaborative on creating solutions. He is such a kind hearted person, and was a pleasure to have around the home. I canâ t say enough good things about String Theory Construction!"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.

Craftsman-style homes are predominantly found in the Western United States, specifically in Southern California, where the style originated. Since the climate was mild and there was access to plenty of natural resources, Southern California became a hub for this style at its inception. That being said, if you consult with an architect near you, you can have a Craftsman-style home anywhere.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

Modular homes last an average of between 50 and 75 years, and high-quality modular homes can last for 100 years with proper maintenance. For comparison, a standard home lasts 50 to 100 years and can push to 150 or longer with good maintenance. Modular homes provide better long-term value in that they are significantly more affordable and can last almost as long, but some buyers are wary of modular home longevity, so the actual value if you sell could be lower.
