"My wife is Russian and Russians love saunas, so I ordered custom logs from the mountains and had Mr. Viss construct a sauna with them.  This required any number of skills and Mr. Viss had all of them. People have been calling this finest private sauna they have ever seen.  You can't go wrong with Mr. Viss."

"Mike, Anna, and Johnny make a great team who I have enjoyed working with while making our custom home project come to life. Building a home is a stressful time, and there were a lot of curveballs thrown on our project through COVID, new PG&E rules and government regulations, and a law firm that took WAY longer than needed to draw up a utility easement with our neighbor. Every construction project is unique and will have its own issues pop up. Itâ s how the problems are handled that matters. MHB was honest and professional throughout the process, and you can tell they care about the ownerâ s satisfaction with the end product."

"Israel and his team were excellent. Israel is very responsive and his team was skilled and worked quick. We had a washer leak that caused damage to our laminate flooring. We decided to remove all the laminate flooring and tile, about 1000 sq ft, and replace with vinyl it was demoed in two days and the new vinyl and base boards done in another three. We had several change requests throughout the project and Israel and his guys adjusted quickly to what we needed. The workmanship is very good, his availability and communication is better than most contractors I've worked with and all within a reasonable price. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for home renovation work."

"I hired Babylon Builders to lay concrete along my driveway and to lay turf in my front yard. The men who came were friendly, and more than happy to answer any questions I had. They exceeded my expectations on when the job would start and finish. Ron kept in touch with me before and after the job. The customer satisfaction was fantastic. I would highly recommend to anyone."

"Last fall, Babylon Builders remodeled my kitchen.  Ron was very professional.  He showed up on time and took the time to ask me what my likes and dislikes were.  He took measurements of my kitchen floor and cabinets.  Since then, I hired him to do the construction remodel.  I have new cabinets with a new counter top and new floor tiles.  I’m ecstatic over the change since I bought this home over a year ago and the kitchen needed a lot of work done.  He created more space by reducing the island in the middle of the kitchen.  Very happy!!!"

"MJ Quality Builders does new houses as well as remodeling. They are currently doing work in Pebble Beach on a house I represent. Their work is of the best quality at a reasonable price. Best of all is the short time they take to complete a project. Their design ideas and input are invaluable. I highly recommended them. I will certainly use them again."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

A construction-to-permanent loan is the most common type of mortgage used to finance a house teardown and rebuild. These loans include financing for construction costs and convert to a long-term mortgage once construction is complete. Check the terms of the loan closely before beginning work—there are often restrictions requiring you to use licensed contractors for all work.

The term “cottage” is subjective, so there’s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.

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.

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.
