"I recently hired Jim Dietz and his company Silver Lining to build an ADU on my property. Jim helped with a lot of the county requirements and roadblocks. I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. He was very interactive and insisted on me walking through the project weekly to show me the progress. His guys were clean and worked hard. Now my neighbor wants to build and ADU and is probably going to hire Jim."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with an incredible team of contractors who undertook the task of fixing my popcorn ceiling. From start to finish, they demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication, leaving me thoroughly impressed and completely satisfied with their work. I would like to share my positive experience with this outstanding crew and recommend them wholeheartedly. From the moment I contacted them, their customer service was exceptional. They were responsive, attentive, and took the time to understand my requirements and concerns. They patiently answered all my questions, providing detailed explanations of the process, materials used, and timeline involved. Their clear communication and transparency instilled confidence in me right from the beginning. When it came to the execution of the project, the contractors truly excelled. They arrived promptly and were well-prepared with all the necessary tools and equipment. Throughout the entire process, they demonstrated an incredible level of skill and craftsmanship. It was evident that they were highly experienced in working with popcorn ceilings, as they navigated the intricate textures and patterns with precision and finesse. Not only were the contractors technically proficient, but they also displayed a strong attention to detail. They ensured that every inch of the ceiling was meticulously repaired, leaving no traces of imperfections. The final result was nothing short of remarkable! My popcorn ceiling was transformed into a smooth, flawless surface that looked brand new. I could not be happier with the outcome. Furthermore, the contractors maintained a clean and organized workspace throughout the project. They took great care to protect my furniture, floors, and belongings from any dust or debris. After completing the repairs, they diligently cleaned up the area, leaving my home in pristine condition. Beyond their exceptional workmanship, the contractors exhibited a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. They consistently checked in with me to ensure that I was pleased with the progress and final result. They went above and beyond to accommodate any additional requests or adjustments I had, working tirelessly to deliver a finished product that exceeded my expectations. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend the contractors who fixed my popcorn ceiling. Their professionalism, expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly commendable. If you are in need of skilled contractors who can transform your popcorn ceiling into a flawless work of art, look no further. These contractors are the epitome of excellence, and I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them."

"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."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

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.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

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.
