"I am beyond impressed with the service from So Cal Builders & Design Inc. They listened to my needs, offered creative design solutions, and executed the project flawlessly. Their team is skilled, respectful, and truly cares about customer satisfaction."
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.

"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!"

"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!"

"I hired LA Expert Builders on ADU Garage Conversion. It wasn't a simple project, but Nir and his well organized crew made it simple as possible. Nir was very honest and he carefully listened my requests and did everything as I wanted. His team was very respectful to my home, they kept working area very clean and they were also very respectful to me and my family. The project went unexpectedly smooth with no issues and was finished ahead of schedule. I'm impressed how everything turned out, just perfect! Thank you Nir and thank you LA Expert Builders!"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.
