"I recently completed my home remodeling project with HIC Builders, and my overall experience has exceeded my expectations. Avi, in particular, showcased extensive knowledge and was an absolute delight to collaborate with throughout the process. The team excelled in providing precise estimates for both budget and timeline. Despite minor setbacks due to city-related delays, they made sincere efforts to compensate for lost time. Having undertaken multiple projects in the past, I can confidently state that this has been the most gratifying working relationship I've had with a contractor. Without a doubt, I plan to engage HIC Builders again for my future projects."

"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.

"We were in a tough position having started a remodel with a contractor that we had to terminate. We had been looking for several months for another contractor. We sought out Lou based on Angie’s list reviews versus a General Contractor. Lou’s operation is as a construction company and relies mostly on his own crew. His crew is great to work with. As other reviews have attested they are prompt, clean, respectful and do a full days work. They clean up at the end of the day and set a high bar that other contractors don’t meet. Lou was coming in on a project that had already started having had drywall up. As part of starting conditions we had to pay for the exploration and redoing several areas. I questioned the necessity of some of the rework, but that was the condition to have Lou take on our project. The electrical from the previous contractor had to be redone, but even with that we did not pass the final electrical inspections and we had more costs at the end. Windows and doors schedules were all very long, (I think it is an industry issue). Lou had promised a quick turn around on 2 windows if we ordered a standard window, but the delivery ended up taking as long as if we had ordered custom. Lou’s communication style is mostly emails. The routine is to speak with the foreman and he presents issues to Lou. We found this inefficient. I had an intense professional schedule during the time frame of our remodel with Lou and his insistence on email impacted many work hours for me. On numerous occasions, a short phone call with an email confirmation could have eliminated back and forth emails. While Lou does this to have a record of communication, he still missed confirmation, and specification that I had spent the time to craft in email. Several caused financial and schedule impacts to our project. Some of our initial designs glossed over how corners or materials would complete. Lou and his crew were great in figuring out these transitions. Lou stands behind his work, which is a plus. He will rework an area that is not correct. However in a few instances if our initial direction had been followed, reworking would have been unnecessary. As other reviews have stated he comes back to fix minor issues that occur after the project has completed. ( Circuit breaker warranty, and cracked tiles, etc). We had several warranty issues with Kohler during the project and Lou did not charge us for the labor to replace the warranty product. We ended up supplying most of the finish material ourselves. He provided the construction materials. While Lou puts an exclusion in his contracts about the match of a transition from existing to new construction you would be hard pressed to pick them out in our completed project. Matching the texture in both stucco and drywall is almost seamless. We had a cutting edge master bath design. Lou’s foreman for our project was detailed and instrumental in the tile layout, and we’re very pleased with the finished product. Lou went to bat for us on several issues we had with the inspector because of the master bath we had designed and ultimately prevailed. Lou supplied several custom cabinets (Master bath and laundry room). We found them to be adequate, and the cabinet maker stands behind them, but in the master bath the cabinets had to be removed and trimmed down 2 inches. They also ended up not being level, therefore the countertop is subsequently not level. In contrast, for our kitchen we had already sourced semi custom cabinets and as far as overall quality, we prefer the cabinets we had sourced for the kitchen. Lou saved our project for which we are very grateful and we wholeheartedly recommend Stone Age. It does come with a price but you’ll be happy with the crew and the results"

"We hired McCormick Home Builders to remodel our living room, and we are beyond pleased with the result. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and Aris design ideas made a huge difference. The room feels so much brighter and more spacious. This was the best decision we made for our home, and we were already planning our next remodel with them."

"Fred and his staff/crew started off as contractors and ended up becoming family. They were punctual, committed and worked diligently, purposefully and safely during covid all while respecting our family dynamic and space with kids, schooling at home, etc. We could not have asked for a better experience with such an important, long-awaited and much overdue project. We are grateful for making the choice we did, and have since brought Fred and his crew back to create a hutch/wine station, install new exterior dutch door and create functional laundry room. They exceed our expectations and we are fortunate to be under the Deco Construction umbrella for the rest of our needs!"

"Great experience! We used Amaral Construction to paint our kitchen cabinets and install new countertops, sink, faucet, and garbage disposal. Edgar and his teams did great work, always showed up on time, and were very transparent in their work. They finished 3 days early to the quoted schedule and had less than 1% cost growth! Edgar chatted with me before making any decisions and was super responsive via email, text, and phone. I also appreciated never being pushed to add more work or increase the scope of the project. Edgar listened to our wants, gave advice, and went forward with our choices to a T. Thank you Amaral Construction!"

"After meeting with several contractors, we settled on MVP Builders. They replaced the worn out roof on our home with a beautiful new one! After David showed us a variety of products to choose from, he and MIke made sure the job was completed to our satisfaction. They were very professional and friendly and made sure we were happy with the job... and we are! Thank you MVP Builders!"

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs.
